What you get from a 3D walkthrough job
The vendor captures the space with a 360 camera or scanner, then processes it into a tour you open with a link. Most tours include a dollhouse view, a floor plan view, and click-to-measure tools, and many can be exported as a schematic floor plan or a video. Ask in your post whether you want hosting included and for how long, since some platforms charge monthly.
Walkthroughs for listings and leasing
Agents in Brooklyn and Queens use virtual tours to cut down on no-show showings and let out-of-state buyers tour a property before flying in. For rental buildings, a walkthrough of a vacant unit can be reused across listing cycles. Commercial landlords use them to let tenants and their architects evaluate a space without a site visit.
Walkthroughs as a construction and insurance record
A walkthrough captured at the right moment is a dated visual record of conditions. Contractors capture one before demolition and again before drywall so the owner has a picture of every pipe and wire behind the finished wall. Insurance claims, pre-construction surveys of neighboring buildings, and move-in and move-out condition reports all use the same approach.
Walkthrough or laser scan, or both
A walkthrough is built for viewing and rough measurement, while a laser scan is built for precise measurement and drafting. If you need drawings stamped for a DOB filing, you want a scan. If you need a client to understand a space from their desk, a walkthrough is usually enough. Many vendors can deliver both from one site visit, so mention it if you want a combined bid.

Typical turnaround
Capturing a typical apartment or house takes one to two hours on site, and the finished walkthrough link is typically ready within one to three business days.
How posting works here
List the address area, the approximate square footage, how many floors, and what the tour is for, such as a listing or a construction record. Vendors who serve that area respond with a bid, the platform they use, and whether hosting is included. You pick the one that fits and schedule directly.
