Client/Sector: Simam Digital / development-planning POC
A browser-based 3D planning workspace for site intelligence, measurement and development proposals.
Project Snapshot
01 Challenge
Architects, estates teams and councils often assess sites using disconnected maps, reports and 3D tools. The opportunity was to create one browser workspace where a proposal could be measured, placed and discussed in its real context.
02 Approach
I shaped the product around four jobs: inspect site intelligence, measure plots, place proposal volumes and communicate impact. This keeps the broad digital-twin capability tied to recognisable planning tasks.
03 Execution
The POC combines selectable buildings and plots, open-map attributes, elevation-aware measurement, CSV/report outputs and 3D proposal placement. It is positioned as a Simam Digital demonstration with a path toward future BIM and client-data integrations.
04 Outcome
World Planning Twin demonstrates how complex spatial workflows can become accessible through the browser. It provides a credible basis for stakeholder discovery while showing practical 3D frontend, mapping and product-architecture skills.
Technical delivery
World Planning Twin is a browser workspace for site intelligence: organise geographic context, measure constraints and develop a proposal without separating the 3D view from the evidence behind it.
Sites, reference layers, measurements, annotations and proposed objects were treated as project data rather than temporary viewport state. That makes a planning session reproducible and creates a route to saved alternatives, revision history and stakeholder permissions.
Distance, area and elevation tools need visible units, editable points and clear attachment to the active scenario. Measurements were designed to remain inspectable after creation so they could support a decision rather than disappear as a transient label on the canvas.
The interface joined terrain and mapping context to 3D placement and supporting notes, helping users explain not only where a proposal sits but why. The public build demonstrates interaction and architecture with representative data; it is not presented as a statutory planning or survey instrument.
Project summary
No. It is presented as a self-hosted Simam Digital product or NDA-safe proof of concept without identifying confidential clients.
