Digital twins for real estate developers in Riyadh

One live, measurable model of your development. Master plan, construction progress and sales inventory in a single digital twin your whole team can open.

Why choose Mapalytics for digital twins for developers

  • One source of truth

    Survey data, the master plan, construction progress and plot or unit status in one map-based twin, not scattered across files.

  • See progress without a site visit

    Regular drone, 360 and laser-scan captures show what has been built, compared with the plan.

  • Sell from the model

    Buyers and investors explore the project in 3D and VR, with live availability on each plot or unit.

  • Hand over an asset, not a box of drawings

    At completion, the twin becomes the operator's record of what was built and where every asset is.

Mapalytics builds digital twins for real estate developers in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia: one live, measurable model of your development that your planning, construction, sales and operations teams all work from.

Large developments generate data in many places: survey files, master plans, contractor reports, sales spreadsheets and drone photos. A digital twin brings them together on an accurate 3D base, so decisions are made on the same, current picture of the site.

What a development digital twin covers

  • Plan. Drone topographic surveys and 3D terrain give the design team an accurate base for the master plan.
  • Build. Scheduled drone, 360 and laser-scan captures show construction progress against the plan, without everyone travelling to site. Our Time-Travel VR lets your team step back through every capture, month by month, as in the video of The Garden Residence tower below.
  • Sell. Buyers and investors explore the project in 3D and VR, with live availability for every plot or unit.
  • Operate. At handover, the twin becomes the operator’s as-built record of the buildings and their assets.

Built on proven work

We have digitised more than 2 billion m² of land, buildings and sites. Our work includes a Web GIS digital twin for housing societies, the Manama Souq scan-to-BIM digital double in Bahrain, and UNESCO World Heritage preservation in 3D.

How we work

  1. Workshop. We map which teams will use the twin and what they need to see first.
  2. Base capture. Drone survey of the site and laser scans of key buildings.
  3. Twin set-up. Master plan, phases and inventory loaded into a secure web twin.
  4. Regular updates. Progress captures on a schedule that matches your construction programme.
  5. Handover. Final as-built twin and data for the operator.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a digital twin for a real estate development?

A digital twin is an accurate, measurable 3D model of your site and buildings that stays up to date. It combines survey data, the design and regular captures of the real site, so your team, contractors and buyers can all see the same picture.

How is a digital twin different from BIM?

BIM models the building as designed. A digital twin also records the real site as it is built and operated, from drone surveys, laser scans and 360 captures, and links it to project data such as progress and sales.

How does this fit Saudi Arabia's digital-twin plans?

Saudi Arabia is building city-scale digital twins, starting with Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah. A project-level twin built on survey-grade data and open formats is ready to connect to that wider ecosystem.

Can we start with one site?

Yes. Most clients start with one development or one phase, then extend the twin to further phases and projects once the team is using it.

Where is your team based?

Our Saudi office is at The Garage in Riyadh, and our production team works on Gulf time zones. We deliver projects across the Kingdom.
