Lifesize Plans Dubai, a new proptech firm, has devised a patented technology that allows immersive, full-scale architectural visualisation of developments in real time rather than just viewing blueprints. This real-scale solution utilises projection technology coupled with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to ‘project’ life-sized designs for developers and homeowners to walk through and experience before finalising the layout of any area or space. Clients can toggle between finishes, floor plan variations, and alterations – all before a single structure is built.
The technology streamlines the pre-construction process by mitigating risks, eliminating flaws, and assisting in developing efficient space layouts. In Dubai, where the skyline is inundated with ongoing developments, it is crucial to develop an error-free architectural plan. Furthermore, the timelines of these developments call for enhanced construction strategies to ensure timely completion.
Georges Calas, CEO of Lifesize Plans Dubai, said, “Witnessing the constant growth of the UAE’s real estate sector and strong influx of investors coming in from all around the world, it was an easy decision for us to enter the market in 2023. As the sector continues to flourish, it becomes increasingly crucial to focus on the attention to detail for every square meter that it is being constructed not just from a design perspective, but to also help identify any potential problem before work even starts on the project.”
The construction sector, which is accelerating at a compound annual growth rate of 4.26 percent this year to reach Dh193.38 billion by 2030, as per Mordor Intelligence, is a cornerstone of Dubai’s bustling economy. The adoption of tech-based solutions will add a new dimension to the sector, replacing traditional, time-consuming methods with quick, immersive technologies. This will not only boost the industry’s appeal, but also catalyse a wave of proptech innovations in Dubai – a new-age sector that aims to exceed Dh4.5 billion in value by 2030.
“As the overall supply of both residential and commercial developments continue to increase, the proptech sector in parallel also becomes more of a necessity as opposed to a luxury when it comes to investors looking to buy their dream home and will soon become an essential tool for developers to incorporate in the years to come,” Georges added.
As the UAE continues to be a global destination for both investors and tourists alike, the construction and real estate markets remain as two of its leading backbone industries when it comes to maintaining its continued prosperity. The growth of complementary sectors such as proptech to help provide the best possible product when it comes to infrastructure, design, and quality will also be an increased focus for developers as the real estate market continues to grow and evolve.
