Added Value Vu.City
Vi.City is the largest and most truly accurate 3D interactive model development to date. Testing initial draft proposals or sites within this software can significantly optimise feasibility and preapplication stages leading directly to better decision making through the process. It is beneficial for the client and the planning process to be able to collaborate in this way, optimising strategy brought forward and cutting down on unnecessary delays in programme, scoping, etc.
This is a 3D modelling tool which covers many parts of the UK but its particularly detailed in relation to the area of London. More and more Councils and consultee bodies, such as Historic England, are adopting this licensing to have their own facility in-house. Iceni Projects can consult more effectively with the relevant public bodies to achieve the best outcomes for a project through the use of Vu.City software.
