While other agents are emailing floor plans, you're showing 360° views from every room. While they're explaining context, you're showing the exact skyline on a timeline. While they're hoping clients imagine it, you're showing them reality. That's not a small advantage. That's the difference between offers and 'we'll think about it.' Be the agent who shows, not tells.

About us
VU.CITY addresses the fundamental questions: if we build here; what will it look like; who will it affect; and how will it affect them? VU.CITY provides clarity for the built environment. Combining the power of data with the largest, most accurate 3D digital city models, VU.CITY helps us to understand the implications of change in the built environment. VU.CITY is currently live in of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton, Belfast and many more! By visualising proposed buildings in context, we speed up the planning process substantially. Decisions in relation to height, bulk, townscape, heritage and views can therefore be taken around the table, engaging with the design team, the client, consultants and local authority in real time. The data overlays ranging from listed buildings, transport access (PTAL), distances and duration of travel, pollution, pricing, opportunity areas and local frameworks are immediately available and visible within the 3 dimensional environment. Speeding up the decision making process will reduce the time and therefore cost related to the delivery of planning, and ultimately help bring schemes to market quicker, smarter and more affordably.

A big thank you to the teams behind the Digital Demo Stage at #OffsiteExpo 2025 💚 Powered by KOPE, this live demonstration walked attendees through a full digital workflow - showing how different platforms can connect seamlessly from planning through to fabrication. It ran three times across the two days, with real-time handovers and Q&A at every stage. Thanks to the participants who brought it all together from VU.CITY, SiteSolve:UK, Buro Happold, Akerlof, KOPE, Hadley Group & Trimble Tekla These sessions showed what's possible when digital tools talk to each other - not in theory, but live, step by step. Special shout out to Charlotte-Frances Garrett for putting this programme together 🫶 #MMC #OffsiteConstruction #ConstructionIndustry #DigitalConstruction #Interoperability #DigitalDemo

We have been utilising VU.City at NCA for the last 9 months and it has been pivotal in assessing the existing and future context of our sites in Liverpool. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with the team at VU. City. Thanks for the feature in The Monthly VU.
What we’ve been working on, where we’ve been, and what’s caught our eye this September... All in this month’s Monthly VU ⬇️ 🗞️

See Stratford in 3D, before it's built 🏙️ From cultural landmarks like the ArcelorMittal Orbit to new regeneration projects such as the Gasworks brownfield site, Stratford is evolving to becoming a hub of culture connectivity and innovation. Our flythrough animations help bring these stories to life: ➡️ For pitch coordinators, it’s a powerful way to win buy-in. ➡️ For real estate agents, it’s a tool to showcase opportunities. ➡️ For storytellers and planners, it turns vision into experience. Want to see how your development could look in its wider context before the first brick is laid? Let’s talk. #UrbanDesign #DigitalTwin #PropTech #LondonDevelopment

✨ Last Friday at VU.CITY we pressed pause on the day-to-day and came together for Alignment Day, a chance for the whole team to connect, collaborate, and look ahead at what’s next for our journey. It was especially exciting this time as we move closer to unveiling something we’ve been working hard on for the past year… There’s real power in bringing people together, and having all our different teams in one room made for great conversations, fresh ideas, and plenty of energy for the road ahead. Huge thanks to our brilliant team for bringing the ideas, energy, and collaboration. We can’t wait to share what’s next with you.. Watch this space!

Planning departments are shrinking whilst demand for new homes is growing. How can councils deliver with fewer hands on deck? Public Practice’s latest report shows a 73% drop in planned recruitment for local planning teams. With skills shortages in digital, data, and sustainability, planners risk being overwhelmed. This is where smart technology can step in. Platforms like VU.CITY can give local authorities the tools to speed up assessments, test ideas faster, and collaborate more effectively, helping limited teams keep pace with housing and climate priorities. 👉 The planning system needs both people and tech and together, they can close the gap. 🔗 Full link to the piece in the comments.

✨ What a week at Offsite Expo 2025! We thoroughly enjoyed being part of the brand-new Digital Demo Stage, showing how digital workflows can truly connect the journey from feasibility right through to fabrication. Our very own Andrew Bullmore captured it perfectly: 💬 “It was really insightful to explore workflows after feasibility and planning, and encouraging to see how our model outputs, built on detailed site analysis and accurate context, can form a strong basis for integrating with subsequent software and processes.” It was great to see such strong engagement around connected data and design, and clear momentum towards making seamless integration the new standard in the industry. huge thank you to the organisers, partners, and everyone who joined the conversation. 👉 How do you see digital workflows changing the way we design and deliver projects in the next few years? #DigitalConstruction #OffsiteConstruction #ConstructionInnovation VU.CITY | Buro Happold | Akerlof | KOPE | HadleyFRAME | Tekla Structures | HLM Architects | Limberger Associates
