IFTI’s PROvision 3D Imaging service captures physical spaces as navigable digital twins — complete, measurable models that teams can access remotely to plan, coordinate, and document without repeated site visits. Here is what it is, what it delivers, and when it adds the most value.
What PROvision is
PROvision is IFTI’s digital twin and 3D documentation service, powered by Matterport scanning technology. A single scan captures a complete, navigable 3D model of a space — every surface, dimension, and spatial relationship — stored in a secure portal accessible to authorized project team members. PROvision is available nationwide across all 50 states at standardized pricing, making it consistent and predictable for multi-location programs. Learn more at IFTI PROvision 3D imaging.
Deliverables clients can request
PROvision delivers the following depending on project scope and package: 3D interactive walkthrough — a fully navigable digital model accessible via secure web link; 2D schematic floor plans — dimensioned plans generated from the scan data; CAD-ready files — scan data exported in formats compatible with AutoCAD and other drafting tools for as-built documentation; and as-built documentation suitable for permit, construction, or facilities management purposes. All deliverables are accessible through a secure client portal. Combine with the IFTI Flooring Expert Solution for integrated site documentation and testing.
Use cases across the project lifecycle
Digital twins add value at multiple points in a project’s lifecycle. During construction: progress documentation, QA/QC verification, coordination between trades, and owner reporting. At completion/turnover: as-built documentation that captures actual conditions rather than design intent drawings, which often diverge from what was actually built. In facilities management: a persistent, accurate spatial reference that reduces re-measurement, supports space planning, and enables remote coordination for remodel and buildout scoping. For multi-site rollouts: standardized scan deliverables across a portfolio so every location is documented with the same format and level of detail.
Why it reduces cost and risk
Better documentation reduces rework and accelerates decisions. The most common reasons for rework in tenant improvement and remodel projects are measurement errors, miscommunication between remote stakeholders and field teams, and design decisions made from inaccurate or outdated drawings. A current, accurate 3D model eliminates all three causes simultaneously. Fewer site visits from architects, engineers, and project managers reduce both direct travel cost and the opportunity cost of deferred decisions waiting for someone to visit in person.
Typical workflow and timeline
The PROvision workflow is straightforward: schedule the scan, IFTI sends a technician to capture the space (a standard commercial space typically takes a few hours), data is processed and uploaded, and the deliverables are available through the secure portal — typically within days of the capture. Timeline scales with space complexity and deliverable type. For multi-site programs, IFTI coordinates scheduling and standardizes deliverable naming and organization to make rollout management practical.
How to scope a multi-site rollout
For retail chains, multi-tenant portfolios, and distributed facilities programs, standardize everything before the first scan: deliverable types, naming conventions, folder structure, access permissions, and quality checkpoints. A consistent scope across all locations makes downstream planning — space redesigns, remodels, equipment upgrades — dramatically faster because you are always starting from current, comparable data. Contact IFTI to discuss standardized multi-site pricing and program structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a digital twin?
A navigable 3D model of a real space that can be measured, annotated, and shared remotely — a complete spatial record that replaces repeated site visits for many planning and coordination tasks.
Can you create CAD from a 3D scan?
Yes. PROvision scan data can be used to generate 2D floor plans and CAD-ready files for as-built documentation purposes depending on the deliverable package.
Is 3D documentation useful after construction?
Yes — in many ways more so. Facilities management teams benefit enormously from an accurate, up-to-date spatial record for maintenance planning, remodel scoping, space planning, and vendor coordination.
Does IFTI scan nationwide?
Yes. IFTI’s PROvision offering covers all 50 states with standardized nationwide pricing.
How do teams access the model?
Through a secure portal link that can be shared with authorized project team members — accessible from a browser without installing additional software.
