Design, Architecture, and Construction Virtual Tours

Architectural Visualization with Interactive 360° Tours

Static renderings and flat floor plans only tell part of the story. With SeekBeak, architects and designers can present projects as fully interactive 360° environments where clients navigate through spaces, click hotspots to view material details, and explore design intent from every angle. Unlike presentation tools that require specialized rendering software, SeekBeak works entirely in the browser and accepts standard panoramic images, drone captures, and 3D models (.glb files), so you can go from site photo to shareable interactive experience without learning new software.

SeekBeak's Tour Guide feature takes client presentations further: host a live guided session where your camera movements and hotspot clicks replicate in real time on every participant's screen. Architects can walk clients through a design, answer questions over video chat, and hand off control so clients can explore independently, all from a web browser with no app install required.

360° Virtual Tours for Construction Projects

Construction projects involve dozens of stakeholders who need visibility into site conditions without always being on location. SeekBeak gives project managers, general contractors, and owners a way to capture 360° panoramic images at each construction phase and turn them into navigable, annotated tours. Add hotspots that document punch-list items, link to specification sheets, or flag areas that need attention. Every tour is accessible via a simple URL, viewable on any device, and can be password-protected for confidential projects.

For teams that need to review progress remotely, SeekBeak's Tour Guide feature enables live virtual site inspections. A superintendent on-site can guide remote stakeholders through the latest 360° captures in real time, with synchronized views and two-way video chat. This reduces the need for travel while keeping all parties aligned on project status.

How Design and Construction Teams Use SeekBeak

Pre-Construction: Present Designs as Interactive 3D Walkthroughs

Before breaking ground, architects and developers need buy-in from clients, investors, and planning committees. SeekBeak lets you present proposed designs as interactive 3D walkthroughs where reviewers can navigate spaces, examine sight lines, and understand spatial relationships in a way that flat drawings cannot convey. Upload 3D models directly to SeekBeak and let stakeholders orbit, zoom, and walk through the model in their browser. Add hotspots to highlight design features, material choices, or sustainability elements. For projects requiring community or committee review, share a simple link rather than scheduling in-person presentations.

During Construction: Document Progress and Conduct Remote Inspections

Regular 360° captures of a construction site create a visual timeline that project teams can reference throughout the build. With SeekBeak, each capture becomes a navigable tour that anyone with the link can explore. Project managers use this for weekly progress updates, owners use it to monitor milestones without site visits, and general contractors use it to coordinate between trades. As OSHA's outreach training guidelines emphasize site-specific orientation, 360° virtual tours offer a visual, verifiable way to familiarize workers with site layouts and hazard zones before they arrive on location.

Post-Construction: Showcase Completed Work

A completed project is your best marketing asset. SeekBeak's 360° virtual tours let prospective clients explore your finished work from anywhere, at any time. Embed tours directly on your firm's website with custom branding, or share them as standalone links in proposals and RFP responses. SeekBeak's built-in analytics and heatmaps show you exactly which projects attract the most attention and where viewers spend their time, giving your business development team data to inform follow-up conversations.

Safety and Training

Construction firms use 360° virtual tours to familiarize workers with site layouts, emergency exits, and hazard zones before they set foot on location. SeekBeak's Forms feature lets you embed safety quizzes directly within the tour, confirming that team members have reviewed critical areas. This approach to safety orientation through interactive content supplements traditional toolbox talks and provides a documented record for compliance purposes.

Why Architecture and Construction Teams Choose SeekBeak

SeekBeak brings together capabilities that design and construction professionals typically need multiple tools to achieve. Capture 360° panoramas with any compatible camera, upload them to SeekBeak, and build a complete interactive tour with hotspots, annotations, floor plan navigation, custom branding, and built-in analytics. Track exactly which areas of a project viewers spend the most time on using heatmaps hosted on SeekBeak's own domain, which means the data isn't blocked by browser ad blockers. All content is unlisted by default with no public directory, making SeekBeak suitable for sensitive pre-construction designs, internal progress reviews, and confidential client presentations.
