Technology can help you visualise your future home

As off-plan commercial and residential projects continue to launch expeditiously across the UAE and the wider region, a major issue for potential buyers is the design and planning of their dream homes. More than often, a two-dimenstional sketch on paper fails to capture the wholesome picture.

Turning this challenge into an opportunity, Australian-based, Lifesize Plans recently opened its franchise location in Dubai. Owning the world’s first patented, real-scale walkthrough technology, Lifesize Plans facilitates the visualization of construction projects in real time rather than imagining it from a blueprint.

“With life-size projection technology, we bring blueprints to life — allowing clients to enter their future homes, offices, restaurants, hotels, or retail spaces before they’re built. This immersive experience eliminates the uncertainties often associated with interpreting 2D plans or even 3D renders,” said Georges Calas, CEO, Lifesize Plans Dubai.

Decisions that once required weeks of back-and-forth can now be made in a single walkthrough. “Furniture placement, material selection, and even minor tweaks to dimensions — all can be visualized and adjusted before the building process even begins. This doesn’t just save time; it prevents costly errors and rework down the line,” Calas says.

Integrating technology into the pre-construction phase isn’t just important—it’s essential. “It’s the foundation for smarter, more efficient development. Projection technology, for example, transforms the traditional planning process by eliminating guesswork and allowing for immediate collaboration between architects, designers, and contractors,” Calas says.
