Active Siteplan

Active Siteplan for
New-Build Developments

Make every plot easier to understand and explore.

Give buyers a clearer view of your development with an interactive 3D siteplan, connected to live pricing, availability and property information.

Sound familiar?

Selling the plot is harder when buyers can’t understand it.

A plot number on a development plan only tells part of the story. Buyers need to understand what’s available, where it sits and what choosing that plot will actually mean.

Buyers can’t always see what’s available

When availability changes quickly, static siteplans can make it harder for buyers to know which plots they can actually choose from.

Plot differences are difficult to communicate

Position, orientation, surroundings and outlook can all influence a decision, but those differences aren’t always easy to explain on a flat development plan.

Off-plan requires too much imagination

When streets and homes aren’t built yet, buyers are being asked to make a significant decision without being able to properly understand what their chosen plot will look and feel like.

There is a clearer way

More than a digital version of your development plan.

An Interactive Siteplan transforms a traditional new-build development plan into an interactive experience buyers can explore for themselves.

Instead of simply seeing where a plot sits, buyers can rotate the development, switch between 2D and 3D, filter homes, check live pricing and availability and understand how individual plots sit within their surroundings.

From there, they can keep exploring. Move down to street level, open a floor plan or step inside internal tours if available.

Giving buyers a clearer picture of the development and the individual home they’re considering.
More clarity off-plan

Help buyers understand the plot, not just the floor plan.

Which way does the garden face? What’s around it? Where does it sit within the development? Which similar plots are still available? What will the street look like?

Active Siteplans give buyers the context to explore each plot and understand the differences for themselves.

Because finding the right home means understanding where it sits

What does an Interactive Siteplan give buyers that a flat plan can’t?

A traditional 2D siteplan shows buyers where plots are. An Interactive Siteplan helps them understand the differences between those plots and explore the development in context.

Traditional approach

Flat 2D Siteplan

A useful overview of the development, but limited in how much context it can give buyers.

−
Fixed overhead viewShows the development from one static perspective.
−
Basic plot positionHelps buyers locate a plot, but gives limited spatial context around it.
−
Manual pricing and availabilityPlot status and prices often need to be checked elsewhere or updated separately.
−
No interactive filteringBuyers have to visually search the whole plan to find relevant plots.
−
Limited orientation contextUnderstanding outlook, garden direction and sunlight often relies on explanation.
−
Stops at the masterplanBuyers need separate assets to explore the street, floor plans or inside the home.
Interactive experience

Active Siteplan

Turns the development plan into an experience buyers can actively explore and use to compare homes.

✓
2D and 3D explorationSwitch between clear overhead planning and a more spatial 3D view of the development.
✓
360° development viewRotate the site to understand how plots, roads, homes and surroundings relate to one another.
✓
Live pricing and availabilityConnect plot data so buyers can see current prices and whether homes are available, reserved, sold or coming soon.
✓
Plot filteringHelp buyers narrow down the development and quickly identify plots relevant to their search.
✓
Time of day and orientationGive buyers more context around plot orientation and how sunlight interacts with the development.
✓
Connected explorationMove from the siteplan into 360° Street View, floor plans and Virtual Showhomes where available.
A flat siteplan tells buyers where a plot is. An Active Siteplan helps them understand what makes that plot different.
Go beyond the development plan

One accurate 3D Model.
More ways to provide
clarity off-plan.

Your Active Siteplan is built from a highly accurate 3D model of the development, giving buyers a clear understanding of plots, housetypes, orientation and the wider site.

But that same model can connect further into the buying journey.

How much does an Active Siteplan cost?

Every development is different, so the cost depends on its size, the functionality required and how it needs to connect with your wider digital sales experience.

As a guide, Active Siteplans typically cost between £90 and £222 per plot. Larger developments generally become more cost-efficient on a per-plot basis.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is an Interactive Siteplan for a new-build development?

An Interactive Siteplan is an interactive digital development plan that allows buyers to explore individual plots, housetypes and property information rather than relying on a static siteplan or PDF. Our Active Siteplans combine interactive 2D and 3D development views with features including live pricing and availability, plot filtering, time-of-day functionality and connections to other digital property experiences.

What is the difference between a 2D and 3D interactive siteplan?

A 2D interactive siteplan provides a clear overhead view of a development and its individual plots. A 3D interactive siteplan provides additional spatial context, helping buyers understand how homes, roads and surrounding areas relate to one another. Active Siteplans allow buyers to switch between both 2D and 3D views.

Can an Interactive Siteplan show live plot availability?

Yes. Interactive Siteplans can connect to live plot data so buyers can see the current status of homes across a development, including available, reserved, sold and coming soon plots.

Can an Active Siteplan show live house prices?

Yes. Pricing can be connected to your plot data so buyers and sales teams can see current pricing alongside individual homes. When connected with the NewHomesHuub, updates to pricing and availability can be reflected across the digital experiences using that information.

Can buyers filter plots?

Yes. Filtering functionality allows buyers to narrow down the development and identify plots and homes relevant to their search.

Can buyers see which way a garden faces?

Yes. The interactive development environment helps buyers understand the orientation of individual plots. Time-of-day functionality can provide further context by showing how sunlight interacts with the development at different times.

Can an Interactive Siteplan connect to a 360° Street View?

Yes. Individual areas and plots can connect with our 360° Street View experiences, allowing buyers to move from the wider development plan to a ground-level view.

Can buyers explore inside a home from an Active Siteplan?

Yes. Individual plots can connect to floor plans and internal property experiences, including Virtual Showhomes, where these have been created for the development.

Can we use the same Interactive Siteplan on our website and in our sales centre?

Yes. Interactive Siteplans can be used across housebuilder websites, interactive sales centre displays and tablets, helping create a consistent experience across online and in-person touchpoints.

Can Interactive Siteplans be used within a customer portal?

Yes. Interactive Siteplans can form part of the wider customer journey and connect with our NewHomesHuub and customer portal experience.

Can an Active Siteplan integrate with our existing systems?

Yes, depending on the systems involved. Integration requirements are assessed as part of the project scope and can include connections to relevant plot data, pricing and availability sources.

How much does an interactive siteplan for a new-build development cost?

Active Siteplans typically cost between £90 and £222 per plot. The final cost depends on the number of plots, functionality required, integrations and whether our other services are being delivered as part of the development.
