I'm in search for visualization software that will allow me to take a picture or somehow capture the building site.......then let me load that building site into the visualization software......then let me place the building model onto that site.......and finally, let me do a walk through the building so that the client can see what kind of views there will be from inside the building to the existing site. Is anyone aware of such software?

3dmax will allow you to camera match and provide the tools to produce a walk through.  These are skills a 3d artist would generally have.  The other factor is if you want to produce a walk through are;

1. Quality of output.....ie. photorealistic or just hidden line.

2. Output Size - which will determin length of walkthrough and rendering facilities.

3. Render facilities - Is a Render Farm needed? or can it be done on afew spare PC's???

 

Also, Maya may be an alternative option.

Depending on the size of the project you could do a FBX out and load it into Unity3d, apply your materials and walk through your project using first person controls like most of the games. It uses a decent gaming engine. You could also take it to max, apply youyr materials and then bring it into Unity3d.BY the way....Unity3d is free unless you get the Pro. Fun to play with and great to get desired views for your clients.
