Off Plans Virtual Tours
Our off-plans 360 virtual tours are used across the property industry, the most popular being residential, office, and hospitality. They allow property developers, real estate agents, and interior designers to showcase their unbuilt property to potential tenants, buyers, and stakeholders.
These 360 tours are used to secure pre-sales and pre-lets of apartment developments, housing schemes, student accommodations, office developments, and hotels.
What is an Off Plans Virtual Tour?
An off-plans 360 virtual tour is a rendered virtual environment that combines a series of exterior and interior 360-degree CGIs within a custom-built app that is compatible on desktop, mobile, tablet, and VR.
Off-plans 360 virtual tours allow a user to move through an unbuilt property from point to point, like google street view. These virtual tours give users a fully interactive experience and are designed to a photo-realistic standard.
In-Tour Features of an Off Plans 360 Virtual Tour:

Auto-Rotation:

Process of Building an Off Plans 360 Virtual Tour
Digital 3D Model Creation: A detailed digital 3D model of the property is created, both exterior and interior. This is carried out using various 3D software packages. 3D Design Bureau creates all digital models using Autodesk Revit.
Virtual Staging: Once the digital 3D model has been created, it enters the virtual staging process. Interior design mood boards along with precedent photos are used to populate the digital model with 3D assets such as furniture, fixtures, and fittings.
Structural Draft Previews: This stage involves the setting out of the various camera locations within the digital model. ‘Clay render’ previews are rendered of the various spaces in the model to ensure the virtual staging is as per the interior designer’s mindset.
Visualisation: Once all structural draft previews are signed off, full lighting and texturing take place. This is carried out in 3ds Max using vRay rendering engine. However, there is various visualisation software available. The visualisation stage involves the setting up of photorealistic lighting along with the texturing of all finishes (walls, floors, ceilings, etc) and their assets. Further material draft previews are then issued for review.
High-Resolution Rendering: Upon approval of the material drafts, a full set of 360-degree high-resolution images are rendered and post-production is carried out on them. These 360 degree CGIs are the core of the off-plans 360 virtual tour app.
The App Build: The final 360 degree CGIs are put together in the app and UX elements are added to produce the tour. The tour is hosted online on any website. It can be viewed on a desktop, tablet, mobile, and in VR.
