Virtual Tour for New Construction Sites: A Competitive Advantage

All of us, sooner or later, have dreamed of the house in which we would like to live in the future. That future that at first seemed so distant and uncertain, little by little, is taking shape in our needs. Now, how can we get an idea of what our perfect home would be like? Currently, technology is our greatest ally and one of its many aspects has focused on the so-called virtual tour. As the desire to project the idea we had in our head of that idyllic home gains strength, it seems that time and reality become real enemies. Problems that many companies related to the architecture sector have been very aware of. For this reason, most of them have decided to bet on virtual reality. Thanks to it, we can make a virtual tour of that house that is not yet built or see, firsthand, how the works with which we want to transform our home will be developed. If you are still in the arduous process of deciding what house you would like to have or how the reform of your home would look like, pay attention because you are about to discover the benefits of a virtual work or a virtual tour.

Dreams come true

The projection of the ideal kitchen, the living room that will host so many family gatherings and celebrations or that space where you will rest after a hard day’s work, are issues that must be studied carefully. Thanks to the virtual tour, you will be able to see what you will find in the not too distant future, not only at a structural level, but also at a decorative level. In addition, you will be able to walk through your home before it is built, so there will be no surprises.

Spaces and locations on plan or from your mobile screen?

One of the basic requirements to choose our house or the reform that we want to do in it, are the dimensions. What in real life seems common and obvious, is not so obvious when we see it on the plan. For example, to know the amplitude of the living room, the width and real length of the corridor or simply if there is enough space to open the bathroom door without bumping into anything. To solve these problems and provide a complete understanding of what the client is looking for and what the construction company can provide, virtual tours have emerged. Virtual tours can be done in multiple ways, from full-scale tours through projections, with virtual reality glasses or directly from the company’s website or mobile applications.

Virtual tour with VR glasses

Thanks to these new devices that are gaining more and more ground in all sectors, the user will be able to tour the house as if he were physically in it, interacting with all the elements that are available to him. They will also have the option of knowing the common areas and surroundings near the house. In addition, they are able to simulate in real time, the points of light inside the house. That is to say, which is the window through which the first ray of light enters at dawn and which is the room from which you will be able to see the sunset.

360º Projectors

Another of the options that are beginning to gain fame and overshadow the common plans, are the projectors. Having the opportunity to enter your home without it being built or simply to see the final result of a real scale reform, is a dream that, until just a few years ago, was not even conceivable. These cutting-edge devices are at the forefront of all the latest developments in virtual reality, with which you can not only enjoy a virtual tour but also have the option to:

• Decorate your home in real time.
• Paint or upholster it.
• Choose the dimensions that suit you best so that there are no surprises later.
• Access every corner, from the basement to the garden or attic.

Virtual Reality web applications

Many construction companies or architectural firms are starting to innovate and improve the customer experience. These tools are not only beneficial for the buyer, but also for themselves. In addition to being able to guarantee the advantages of the two previous modalities, it also has in its favor the fact of being able to study to the millimeter the type of work to be carried out in order to avoid, for example, the construction of unnecessary walls or walls that the only thing they do is occupy a space that could be used perfectly for other purposes. The identification of excess space is essential for any building. Undoubtedly, the use of virtual reality only increases profits and improves the customer experience. For this reason, if you are a future buyer or want to give a makeover to your home, we encourage you to enter this new technological world. You will be surprised!
