See your planning drawings as a 3D house
A real house, generated from its planning application drawings. You walk through it, go upstairs, step out into the garden — and watch the sun fall on it on any date of the year, at any hour.
A two-dimensional plan is not read, it is guessed at
Someone signing off a set of planning drawings is looking at sections, elevations and a site plan. They are expected to infer a volume, a ceiling height, the light in a room at four o'clock in November — things a professional reads at a glance and a private client does not read at all.
So the expensive changes arrive late: during the structural work, when the window is already in on the wrong side. That is the gap Planeo closes, by showing the project before it is built.
What Planeo does
- The model is generated from your own drawings — the ones in the planning application. Nothing to redraw.
- The project sits on its own plot, at its real orientation, with the lie of the land.
- The sun path is the one for the location, at the date and time you choose. The 21st of December at nine in the morning and the 21st of June at six in the evening are the two questions everybody asks and nobody can settle before moving in.
- Sunlight across the garden, hour by hour — enough to place a terrace or a vegetable patch without getting the aspect wrong.
- Walk through it in the browser, with nothing to install, and cut the roof away to see the house as a doll's house.
Who it is for
House builders, project managers, architects and estate agencies selling off-plan — and the private clients who want to understand what they are about to sign. For the sale of a building plot, a model helps a buyer picture the house far better than an artist's impression, because it can be measured.
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to supply a 3D file?
No. The planning drawings are enough: floor plans, sections, elevations and the site plan.
Does it run on an ordinary computer?
Yes, in the browser, with nothing to install. Allow a few seconds to load: it is a full 3D scene, not an image.
Is this an energy assessment?
No, and it should not be made to say so. Planeo shows geometry and sunlight; the regulatory calculation remains the work of an engineering consultancy.

What to try first
- Walk through it. Walkthrough mode: go in, go upstairs, come back out. That is where a client understands the volumes — a two-dimensional plan does not show them, it leaves them to be guessed.
- Drag the time slider. The sun is calculated for the real position of the plot. Pick the 21st of December at nine in the morning, then the 21st of June at six in the evening: that is the question every client asks, and the one nobody can normally settle before moving in.
- Cut the roof away. The house becomes a model seen from above, room by room.
- Open the garden sunlight view. How many hours of direct sun each part of the plot gets — enough to place a terrace or a vegetable patch without getting the aspect wrong.
