3D GAUSSIAN SPLATTING · NETHERLANDS
Stop sending photos. Send the place.
We fly your property with a drone and turn the footage into a 3D model. Your client opens a link, drags with a mouse or a finger, and looks at the building from any angle. It is built from real footage, so what they see is the place as it stood on the day we flew it.
01 · WHAT IT IS
This is not a 3D render. It is the real building, rebuilt from real footage.
What is 3DGS?
3DGS is short for 3D Gaussian splatting. It rebuilds a real place out of millions of coloured points. We scan the property with our drone and cameras from every angle. The software works out where each surface sits in space and rebuilds it from the footage. Last, we clean the model by hand, removing stray points and anything that does not belong.
You send one link. It opens in any browser in a few seconds, on a phone or a laptop. There is no app to install and nothing to work out: you drag to turn the building and scroll to move closer.
We capture the outside of the property: the building, the roof, the plot and everything around it. Exteriors only. We do not scan interiors yet.
02 · THE DIFFERENCE
That is not a photo. Click it and drag.
03 · SCANS
A few scans we have made.
04 · WHERE TO USE IT
Almost nobody in the Netherlands is using this yet. That is exactly why it works.
Most people understand the technology straight away. The harder question is where it is useful to them. Answer yes to any of these three and a scan is probably worth your time.
Is there a place people need to see, but cannot easily get to?
Too far, too expensive, no access, or nobody's diary lines up. A scan lets them see the whole place without going there.
Is something in front of you about to change or disappear?
A building before restoration, a plot before it is built on, a site halfway through construction. Photos give you a few angles of it. A scan keeps the whole thing, and in ten years you can still walk around it.
Does a photo make it look smaller than it is?
Height, roofline, the size of the plot, how the building sits against everything around it. A photo flattens all of that. In a scan the scale stays right, because people move around it and judge it themselves.
Estate agents and brokers
Residential · Country houses · New build
- Sell the plot, not just the house. Buyers want to know what is behind the garden wall, how close the neighbour really is, and what the road on the other side looks like.
- Serve buyers who are abroad. They can go around the whole property in their own time, and only travel over once they are serious.
- Win the listing. Bring a 3D scan of a house you have already done to the valuation meeting. Most sellers have never seen one, and no other agent is offering it.
Heritage and monuments
Churches · Mills · Facades · Foundations
- Record the roof, the tower and the facade exactly as they stand before restoration starts. Afterwards you can put the two side by side and show what changed.
- Show donors and grant committees the state of the roofline. No ladder, no lift, no scaffolding.
- Put the tower online. Hardly anyone ever sees a spire from above, and in a scan anyone can.
Hotels, venues and recreation
Estates · Campsites · Marinas · Weddings
- Let a couple planning a wedding see the grounds, the driveway and the setting in one go, before they book a viewing.
- Show a campsite, marina or park as it actually lies: where the pitches are, how close the water is, what the walk to reception looks like.
- Use your own site instead of a stock aerial photo. Guests can turn it, and it is clearly your place and nobody else's.
Construction and development
Contractors · Architects · Developers
- Capture the site as you found it before you touch anything. If there is a dispute six months later, you can show the whole site from any angle instead of a folder of phone photos.
- Record each phase from the air. Your client sees the progress for themselves instead of reading about it in a weekly report.
- Show a client or a neighbour what is standing on the plot today, next to what is being proposed. People object less once they can judge the real scale.
Municipalities and public space
Squares · Parks · Bridges · Participation
- Document a square, park or bridge before a redesign and again afterwards. Two scans show exactly what changed.
- Run a participation evening around the actual site instead of a map. Residents recognise their own street straight away, so the discussion is about the plan and not about where everything is.
- Keep a visual record of what a survey drawing does not show: wear, planting, signage, and how the space is actually used.
Land and building plots
Plots · Farmland · Estates · Investors
- Sell a plot the way a buyer thinks about it: shape, access, what borders it, and how far the nearest neighbour really is.
- Send a developer the site before they travel to it. They arrive already knowing what it looks like, so the meeting is about the plan.
- Record land before it is cleared, split or built on. Once the work starts, that version of the plot is gone for good.
Roofs and building inspection
Roofers · Solar · Housing corporations · VvEs
- Look at an entire roof from every angle without a lift, a ladder, or a day of scaffolding.
- Send the owner the whole roof instead of four photos and a paragraph explaining what they are looking at.
- See orientation, obstructions and what casts shade across a roof before anyone quotes for panels on it.
Industry and logistics
Warehouses · Yards · Plants · Terminals
- Show a supplier or an engineer the site, the yard and the roof before they travel. A lot of site visits only exist to answer a question a scan has already answered.
- Capture the yard and the site layout before an expansion, so the new plan has something real to be checked against.
- Give a broker or an investor the whole facility and its surroundings in one link, instead of six photos taken from the gate.
Not on that list? Ask anyway.
Tell me what place you have in mind and I will tell you whether it can be flown, what it would take, and whether a scan helps you. If it does not, I will say so and you have lost five minutes.
05 · WHAT IS COMING
Right now we do the outside. Interiors are next.
Walk through the inside
The interior, captured the same way as the outside. In a normal 360 tour you jump between two or three fixed points in the middle of each room. Here you move freely: stand where you want, look out of a window, look under a table, walk from the hallway into the kitchen.
- One continuous space, not a handful of fixed viewpoints
- Inside and outside in the same scan, from the roof to the hallway
- Still one link, still any browser, still nothing to install
A VR station in your office
After that, the same scans in a headset. A VR station in your own office with your own portfolio loaded on it. A client walks through four properties in one sitting and then goes to see the one they want, instead of spending a Saturday driving to three they would have ruled out in a minute.
- Your properties, loaded and waiting before the client sits down
- They walk it themselves rather than watch you present it
- Visits go to the shortlist instead of the long one
The first few clients decide what we build first.
If you run an agency or a venue and you want this, say so now rather than at launch. Early partners tell me what to build and in what order, and they get it before anyone else in their area. Putting your name down costs nothing. Exteriors are what I can sell you today.
06 · WHAT YOU GET
One scan. Five ways to put it to work.
A link
One web address. Paste it into a listing, an email, a WhatsApp message or a tender document. It opens on any phone or laptop, with no account, no app and no password. They tap it, wait a couple of seconds, and they are looking down on the building.
That link is real. Try it.
An embed
The same scan running on your own website. It is one line of code, so your web developer needs about five minutes. Visitors stay on your site instead of being sent somewhere else.
A QR code
On a window, a sign, a brochure, a business card, or the board outside the property. Someone standing at the gate on a Sunday, when your office is closed, scans it and looks around the whole place on their own phone.
A flythrough video
A camera path through the scan, exported as a normal video file for Instagram, an ad, or a slide in your presentation. The camera move comes out of the 3D model, not a second drone flight, so a different route later is a new export instead of another day on site.
A camera move, taken from the scan above
Stills from any angle
Once the place is scanned, a new image does not need a new visit. Tell me the height, the side and the framing and I take it out of the scan. Handy on the afternoon the brochure needs one more shot and the weather has turned.
Three frames, one flight, no second visit
Using it takes no explaining
07 · HOW IT WORKS
3 steps. Usually done within a week.
Scan
One to two hours on site with a drone. No lift, no scaffolding, nothing closed down. We check the airspace and the local rules for your address before we confirm a date.
Build
The footage is reconstructed into a 3D scan and cleaned up: floating artefacts removed, camera path set, file compressed so it still loads fast on mobile data.
Done
You get the model and a link to it, hosted online. It is yours. Put it in a listing, on your site, behind a QR code, in a presentation. We can advise on what works, the decision is yours.
08 · QUESTIONS
The ones I get asked.
What does it cost?
It depends on the size of the property, how much you want covered, and which of the five deliverables you need. A two-storey house with a garden is a different job from an estate or a holiday park, in flying time and in processing. I do not quote off a photo. We do a short call or I come by, and you get one number for the whole job.
Does this replace photography?
No. Photos still make the first impression, and a good photographer frames a facade better than a scan does. The scan is the step after, when someone likes what they see and wants to know what the place is really like.
What about privacy, and the neighbours?
We fly your property, not the neighbours. Faces, number plates and anything else you want out we avoid on the day or remove afterwards. Tell me before we start.
Can I measure things in it?
Not reliably. It is a visual record, not a survey. Accurate enough to judge a space, not to draw from. If you need measurements you can build on, hire a surveyor.
What weather do you need?
Even light gives the cleanest result, so bright overcast beats hard midday sun. Strong wind, heavy rain and poor light are the three reasons to move a date. I watch the forecast and move the slot.
Do you do interiors?
Not yet. Exteriors only: the building, the roof, the plot and the surroundings. Interiors need different equipment and a different method. We are working on it. Until it is ready I will point you to someone else.
Can you fly anywhere?
No. Airports, parts of some city centres and some protected areas are restricted, and a few locations need permission first. I check the airspace and the local rules for your address before I confirm a date.
Who else is doing this in the Netherlands?
Very few. The technique is about three years old and hardly anyone here offers it commercially. That is the advantage: right now your listing, your venue or your site is the only one that has it.
Where do you work?
Anywhere in the Netherlands. I am based in Breda, so Brabant, Zeeland and the Randstad are short drives, and northern Belgium is close. Further away is fine, it adds travel costs to the quote.
