It turns an off-plan sale into an immersive experience, useful for sales meetings, development pages and digital campaigns.
Accessible everywhere
The tour is viewed from a browser, on desktop, tablet or mobile, with no heavy app to install.
A helpful mesh to choose the right 3D asset
The virtual tour often performs better when it is part of a complete set-up: an orbital model for the exterior, renderings for the key visuals and 3D floor plans for the readability of the layout.

Key questions before ordering a virtual property tour
What is a 3D virtual property tour used for?
A 3D virtual property tour lets you show a home, a residence or a space before it is built. It helps buyers picture themselves in the space, reduces the friction of buying off-plan and strengthens off-plan sales collateral.
Can a virtual tour replace a show flat?
It can complement or replace a physical show flat for certain sales uses. The virtual tour is available online, can be viewed remotely, can be reused on development pages and is lighter to deploy than a real show unit.
Which files are needed to create a virtual property tour?
The most useful files are 2D plans, DWG files, sales plans, sections, mood references, material choices, desired furniture and sales objectives. Vizion Studio can help frame the brief if the file is not yet complete.
How long does a complete virtual tour take?
A complete virtual tour usually takes 5 to 10 days. A first render or a first area for review can be shared within 3 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of the home and the material provided.
In summary
What is a real-estate virtual tour?
A virtual tour is a navigable 3D experience that immerses the visitor inside a home, room by room, as if they were really there. Unlike an orbital model, which shows a building from the outside in rotation, the virtual tour brings a specific home's interior to life: you move from room to room, looking around in 360°.
Property developers use it as a virtual show home: touring an off-plan home before it's built, qualifying buyers remotely and reducing the number of physical visits needed to sell.
Navigable room by room, in 360°, in a simple browser.

Frequently asked questions
Everything about the real-estate virtual tour
Pricing, timelines, required files, mobile compatibility: answers to the questions developers and architects ask.
What is a real-estate virtual tour?
A virtual tour is a navigable 3D experience that lets you explore a home room by room, in 360°, as if you were there. It's produced from plans, before the property is even built.
How much does a virtual tour cost?
Pricing depends on the home's floor area, the number of rooms to model, the level of décor detail and the timeline wanted. Every quote is bespoke, based on your plans.
What is the difference between a virtual tour and a physical show home?
A physical show home is a real furnished unit, costly to build and dismantle after sales. The virtual tour offers the same emotional projection, online, available from the development's launch and without the construction costs.
Does a virtual tour work without a VR headset?
Yes. Our virtual tours are controlled with a mouse, finger or keyboard, right in the browser. No VR headset is needed, though the tour remains compatible with such equipment.
How long does it take to produce a virtual tour?
Typically allow two to three weeks between receiving your plans and going live, including approvals, depending on the home's size and complexity.
What files do I need to provide?
2D plans, DWG, BIM/Revit model or simple sketches are enough. We adapt to your existing materials to rebuild the home in 3D.
Can the virtual tour be viewed on mobile?
Yes. Every tour is optimised to run smoothly on smartphone and tablet, with no app to install, right in the browser.
Can the virtual tour be embedded on my website?
Yes. We deliver a link or embed code you can insert directly on your site or development page.
What is the difference between a virtual tour and an orbital model?
The virtual tour immerses the visitor inside a home, room by room. The orbital model offers an exterior overview of a development, rotated in 360°. The two formats are complementary.
What is the difference between a virtual tour and a 3D rendering?
The 3D rendering is a still image, designed for print or advertising. The virtual tour is a navigable experience, designed for online exploration.
Is interior decoration included?
Yes, every virtual tour includes realistic décor (furniture, materials, lighting) that helps buyers picture themselves in their future home.
Can several unit types be toured?
Yes. We can produce a virtual tour for each representative unit type in your development (T2, T3, duplex, etc.), to cover the whole sales offer.
Does the virtual tour replace a physical show home?
It can replace it entirely or complement it. It's a far cheaper alternative to a physical show home, available as soon as sales launch.
How is a virtual tour made?
We model the home in 3D from your plans, add realistic décor, then set up the navigation points that enable room-by-room movement.
Are tours updated if the project changes?
Yes, a tour can be updated if the plans change before sales. Get in touch so we can assess the update needed.
