Virtual Tours & 3D Walkthroughs in Parkhurst — the craft

How the capture works on site

A typical three-bedroom home takes 45 minutes to scan; a double-storey Constantia or Waterfall home closer to 90 minutes. We scan after the still photography so the ambient light is already set — curtains open, downlights off unless they add to the story, and the pool skimmed. The camera moves in a grid pattern room by room, one capture every two metres, and every doorway is captured from both sides so the stitching does not skip a threshold. Occupied homes work fine — we ask the residents to leave the room being scanned, and we blur any incidental faces in the final delivery to keep the tour POPIA-safe.

Hosting and long-tail value

Every tour ships with 12 months of hosting bundled into the production fee — enough to outlast the typical selling cycle and enough to keep the link live for the deed-registration window. After 12 months the tour renews at a small annual fee, or comes down. About 30% of the tours we produce get renewed; the rest either sold quickly enough that the tour outlived its purpose, or the agent moved onto the next mandate. Where the seller wants to keep the tour privately after the sale — for insurance photos or renovation reference — we transfer the tour to a private link with password protection.
