Market real estate at an early stage

Get potential buyers involved and excited during the planning stage to avoid the risk of vacancy.
BIM – projects guaranteed to be up to date

PORTER isn’t an isolated application, but rather a synchronized database for everyone involved in the project.
Useable on the simplest of devices

PORTER runs on all end devices. Combined with a headset and PC, you can offer impressive tours in virtual reality.

Experience what will be

Even before construction or renovation begins, see, experience and design what will be, and all this absolutely authentic! With real products from real manufacturers. And even if you feel like standing on the table while designing your real estate project – go right ahead, you can … it’s easy and intuitive to use.

PORTER Features

What you see is what you get

PORTER integrates manufacturer databases, with their actual products and fixed prices. This gives all project stakeholders maximum planning security and cost control – already during the planning stage.

Because PORTER is cloud based, the planning databases and manufacturer product ranges are always up to date. Algorithms running in the background enable area ratios to be calculated in real time and quantity/parts lists including pricing are generated.

PORTER upgrades the BIM process

PORTER is fully compatible with BIM as a management and planning tool. The databases that are created in PORTER can simply be integrated into the overall concept. The supported file format is .ifc.

PORTER – all technologies in one system

Floor plan digitization – from 2D to 3D in a few minutes

With the help of artificial intelligence, 2D floor plans are transformed into authentic 3D buildings that can be experienced virtually. And it’s all ready for integration into the BIM process. The corresponding rooms are recognized and materials can be precisely selected as a result.

Virtual Reality – interactive real-time material selection & high-end visualization

PORTER makes it possible to tour real estate projects and select materials in virtual reality even before building starts.

Using a VR headset, it’s possible to walk through the building in a three-dimensional representation of the space in true-to-life scale and to configure its features in real time.

Augmented reality – indoor and outdoor project projection

Using a smartphone or tablet, the planned real estate can be easily projected onto any surface, for instance onto a floor plan or unfinished building site – or view it as a model in thumbnail view.

Web3D – 3D buildings in a browser

The 3D buildings created by PORTER can be presented in browsers for interactive viewing. Study the building from the outside as well as from the inside from all directions and perspectives.

Streaming – browser-based, real-time visualization

PORTER works with streaming technology. That means a real estate project can be displayed in superb 3D quality online without needing any special processing power.

Individual renderings from the VR application

With the PORTER virtual reality application, renderings can be generated. The building and its interior design are recorded as an image in a manner similar to a screenshot.

360-degree tours – property presentation from any angle

360-degree tours of a 3D building can also be created in PORTER. These make it possible for the spectator to navigate through the virtual building and view it from different perspectives.

Efficient data processing with AI

Upload your 2D floor plan to the PORTER AI module. Alternatively, 3D files can be directly imported and interpreted. Thanks to artificial intelligence, an immediately accessible 3D model of the real estate project is created in mere minutes.

Here’s an overview of the file formats that are currently supported.

2D	3D
DXF	DXF/DWG (e.g. pCon)
DWG	FBX - OBJ
PDF	SketchUP (via PORTER Plugin)
JPG	Revit (via PORTER-Plugin)
