Whether you are renting or buying a home or a property, your experience will be digital. We live in an environment where everything we do is more and more tech-led. We have smartphones in our hands 24/7. We use digital solutions for everything that we do, including looking for new properties to invest in, lease or buy. But have you ever stopped and wondered why? 

It’s simple – everything became easier once technology was integrated into our lives. Why flip through newspaper ads or visit properties in person when you could simply enter an online platform and get a digital tour of the properties you are interested in? Or why go and showcase properties to your potential buyers when, instead, businesses could open our phones and laptops and present to our possible buyers an immersive first look at our properties?  Here, potential buyers or tenants can see faster and more easily precisely what realtors and real estate sellers present and get an idea of what their dream home or office would look like. 

Even more so, with a 3D digital replica, your customers can immerse themselves in the experience and get a real feel of the space that they are interested in. A virtual twin can also help them see an overall picture of the building they are interested in. They will be able to make an opinion and see what is the best fit according to their wishes—all of this from the comfort of their home. 

So, if your possible tenants are always busy and don’t have the time to come and see all the properties that might fit them, you can encourage them to see a digital version of their possible office or property.

What are 3D Digital Replicas?

3D Digital Replicas are highly detailed, three-dimensional models of objects, places, or even people that are created using digital technology. These replicas are often developed through processes such as 3D scanning, photogrammetry, or computer-generated imagery (CGI)

A virtual twin can help your tenants understand the layout of the building and create a clear perspective on how it looks before seeing it. Your property viewings can have better chances of getting leased as the possible tenants already know what to expect. 

This comes as a great advantage, especially in the real estate industry.  With real estate twins,  you can generate a digital experience that will no longer require time spent commuting, will no longer encounter traffic jams, and the city, area, or country you are interested in will no longer have boundaries. 

Components of 3D Digital Replicas

3D Digital twins in real estate are representations of real-life buildings or properties. So, to create and obtain a realistic representation, let’s consider the components of digital models:

• BIM: Usually, when creating a 3D model, building information modeling (BIM) can be required to deliver better results and generate more accurate results of the building model.
• Sensor Data: Digital twins can be the main reason for needing sensor data. Sensor data can help deliver digital twinning of a building, providing updated versions of the model.
• Software Tools: While the sensors are placed for your 3D twins to be created, you must maintain those processes and ensure everything works accordingly.
• Integrations: When everything is ready and implemented accordingly, strong connections are needed to deliver the best outcome possible. So, a digital twin model can enhance simulation and testing and integrate all the elements needed for the best experience for your viewers.

Advantages of Implementing 3D Digital Replicas

Regardless of your property, having a 3D model of it will help you better understand the whole experience your clients or potential prospects will have. Even more so, it can help you see changes when you are not sure about the design of the building and get a feel of the design. 

Even more so, 3D will help you create effective space management, which is important to most tenants. So, making space planning as efficient as possible will be a great advantage of the 3D planning process. 

For landlords and brokers, implementing a digital twin model can encourage proactive space management and reduce costs. Detailed insights into the building, improving decision-making, and cutting unexpected expenses.
