Partnership Proposal — April 2026
Helping Denaploy clients visualise, navigate and maintain their assets — high-resolution 360° scanning delivered alongside every handover package.
denaploy.see3d.aiToday, an O&M manual is all too often a PDF or a folder of flat drawings stored in the cloud. It describes a building in words — but the people who operate and maintain it work in three dimensions.
A virtual tour changes that entirely. Every plant room, roof void and services corridor becomes navigable from any browser or mobile device. Assets are tagged directly in the space. Engineers locate and identify equipment before they set foot on site. Contractors share the same spatial context — without leaving the office.
For Denaploy, this is a natural extension of your existing handover package. You already own the client relationship and the documentation brief. See3D provides the spatial layer: a high-resolution, navigable record that ships alongside the O&M manual as a single unified deliverable — giving your clients something no standard documentation service currently provides at scale.
Higher-Risk Buildings now require a digital 'single source of truth' — photographic records, as-built drawings, O&M information, and safety-critical building data. This partnership delivers all of it. Denaploymanuals provides the O&M manual. See3D provides the navigable spatial record your clients are legally required to maintain.
O&M manuals need to be useful in year 5 and year 10. A platform fee that never ends is the wrong model for long-lived assets. Here's what three years of Matterport actually costs, versus the See3D approach.
* Figures are demonstrative only. Matterport hardware price based on UK reseller listings (survey-tech.co.uk, April 2026); Business plan annual rate reflects Matterport's May 2025 subscription update. Actual costs vary by reseller margin, promotional offers, active-space count and VAT treatment. See3D example based on a 5-floor commercial handover at the standard per-floor rate.
See3D uses the Realsee Galois M2, a professional-grade 360° camera that operates entirely outside Matterport's closed ecosystem. Combined with 3DVista Virtual Tour Pro — the industry's leading tour authoring platform — this hardware and software pairing gives clients complete ownership of their deliverables: full-resolution assets, exported files, and a tour that lives on infrastructure they control.
The result is straightforward: a one-time fee, no platform subscriptions, and no recurring costs. Where Matterport charges providers and clients alike for continued access to their own data, See3D hands over a permanent asset on day one. On equivalent projects, this typically means significantly lower cost — without any compromise on output quality. On resolution, See3D's captures match or exceed what Matterport's hardware produces.
The tour itself is also built for longevity. Clickable hotspots within the tour can be connected directly to live data sources — whether that's an existing asset register, a spreadsheet, or a document library. When the underlying data changes, the tour updates automatically. No republishing, no manual edits, no call back to us.
For O&M documentation, resolution is a functional requirement — not a luxury. Maintenance engineers need to read asset labels, identify model numbers, locate isolation valves and trace pipe runs directly from the tour. That demands a camera that captures fine detail at distance. The Realsee Galois M2 delivers 16,384 × 8,192 pixel panoramas at every scan point — equivalent to 134 megapixels per image — with an integrated 940 nm Class 1 LiDAR for depth capture.
At this resolution, asset nameplates, serial numbers and warning labels remain legible when zoomed in on screen. That's the detail level O&M users need — and what separates a useful spatial record from a decorative one. Point cloud output: e57, ply. Model formats: obj, fbx, gltf, glb.
Your deliverable is the tour framework. The O&M knowledge transfer happens in a Google Sheet, not inside proprietary tour software. Nobody needs a 3DVista licence. Nobody needs to understand the tour's internals.
This is also why See3D can hand over a permanently offline copy on request — the tour, the images, the point cloud, and the linked asset data can be exported together as a static package. Clients with air-gapped security requirements can host the deliverable on their own infrastructure.
The Building Safety Act 2022 requires every Higher-Risk Building to maintain a 'Golden Thread' — a single digital source of truth containing photographic records, as-built drawings, and O&M information in accessible electronic format. Denaploymanuals already handles the O&M layer. See3D provides the spatial evidence that regulators and building safety managers need to see.
The Act defines what the Golden Thread must include — and much of it is inherently spatial. Written descriptions of plant locations, fire compartmentation or service routes are no substitute for a navigable visual record that any stakeholder can open from a browser.
For existing HRBs, the Golden Thread must be maintained through any subsequent maintenance or refurbishment. For new buildings, it must be in place before building work starts. Denaploymanuals is already embedded in those handover milestones — this partnership adds the layer that makes your package BSA-complete.
The figures below are a guideline, not a quote. Final pricing is set per project — adjusted for building size, floor count, scan complexity, access constraints and travel. Use them as a starting reference for the conversation.
Numbers above are illustrative — every project is scoped and priced individually. Final figures move up or down depending on building size, floor count, scan complexity, access constraints, travel and any agreed package discounts. A cap applies on maximum scans per floor; larger or more complex spaces are quoted bespoke. Referral fee returned to Denaploy per agreed structure.
If Denaploy is brought in at the point of procurement — before works begin — See3D can deliver two scans instead of one: a pre-works condition survey and a practical-completion handover scan. The same site, twelve months apart.
Framed as a two-scan package — a natural upsell when the commercial timeline allows early engagement. Priced per scan at the standard per-floor rate, with a combined-package discount available when both scans are booked at commitment.
The referral fee rewards Denaploy for introducing See3D at the point of project brief — without adding administrative complexity. Fees are calculated on the net scan invoice and settled within 30 days of See3D receiving payment from the end client.
No upfront costs. No volume commitments. No exclusivity required. Either party may terminate with 30 days' written notice. The arrangement is designed to grow naturally alongside your project pipeline — longer-term commercial terms reviewed together as volume builds.
A clean commercial handshake — no retainer, no up-front scan fee, no chasing. See3D starts work against a confirmed PO and invoices only once the deliverable has been accepted.
No subscription, no hosting lock-in, no retrospective charges. Commercial terms mirror the way Denaploy already invoices its own clients — the scan slots into the existing handover workflow without a new billing motion.
