We're Adding 3D Scanning to the Lineup — Here's Why It Matters
At JCV Creative, we've always been about giving people the full picture. Great photos. Cinematic video. Aerials that put a property in context. But there's always been a gap between what a photo can show and what a buyer, architect, or contractor actually needs to know about a space.
That's why we're bringing iGuide 3D scanning to St. Louis.
What Is iGuide?
iGuide is a LiDAR-based scanning system that captures an entire property — every room, every measurement, every angle — in a single visit. The result is an interactive 3D virtual tour paired with measurement-accurate floor plans, room dimensions, and total square footage. All delivered next business day.
If you've seen Matterport tours, this is in that family — but with a key difference. iGuide was built around accuracy. The floor plans aren't approximations. They're LiDAR-measured within half a percent, ANSI-compliant, and they come with the data to back them up. That matters when the numbers need to hold up to a second opinion.
What It Means for Real Estate
For agents, this is the logical next step in listing media. You're already shooting professional photos and drone aerials. A 3D tour and floor plan complete the package — and the data backs it up. Listings with floor plans get significantly more engagement. Buyers can walk through a property from their couch, get a real sense of the layout, and show up to a showing already sold on the bones of the place.
We're offering iGuide as a standalone service or bundled with our existing photo, video, and drone packages. One visit, one crew, everything captured.
But It's Not Just for Listings
This is where it gets interesting. The same scan that helps sell a house also serves architects who need as-built floor plans for a renovation, builders documenting construction progress, insurance adjusters scoping a claim, and facility managers keeping tabs on a building portfolio.
iGuide exports in the file formats these industries actually use — DWG for AutoCAD, RVT for Revit, ESX for Xactimate. That last one is a big deal for insurance and restoration work, where accurate room measurements feed directly into claims estimates.
We've been a production company at our core for over fifteen years. Adding 3D scanning is a natural extension of what we already do — show up, capture a space with precision, and deliver something our clients can actually use.
Who This Is For
Real estate agents and brokerages — 3D tours and floor plans for your listings, bundled with HDR photography and drone or as a standalone add-on.
