A sales office keeps who owns which plot, which file it sits in and what has been paid in a spreadsheet. The buyer sees a map on a wall. Neither of them can see the place and the record at the same time.
Our own build, from stock footage. The society is not named. Owners, payments and files in the picture are sample data and the panel says so on every layer.
What it is like without one.
The record and the place live apart
The spreadsheet knows the plot number. The wall map knows where it is. Putting the two together is somebody reading a row out loud while somebody else points.
Nobody can see what is actually built
Build stage is whatever the last person to visit remembers, and an overseas buyer cannot visit at all.
The answer changes with who you ask
Sales, accounts and the site team each hold a version, and the gaps between them surface at the worst moment.
What we built.
The whole society in 3D, from one short clip
One drone pass becomes a model of the society you can turn, zoom and click, in a browser, with nothing to install.
Every plot carries its own record
Owner, file and payment state sit on the plot itself. In this build they are sample data, labelled as such on every layer.
The build stage is read from the footage
Each building is marked finished or not finished from what the drone actually saw, so the picture does not depend on the last site visit.
The numbers, and what kind of number each one is.
Every figure here says whether it was measured, estimated or read, because a figure without that is not usable.

13empty plotsMarked by eye on the 3D, which is why they are counted separately.

83%of build stages read correctlyAgainst labels put on by eye. Assuming every building is finished would score 75%, so the reading earns its place by eight points, and it caught 10 of the 13 unfinished ones.
How it gets used.
On the screen in the sales office
The buyer sees the plot and its record together, which is the conversation the wall map was always standing in for.
Sent to a buyer who cannot travel
A link, opened on a phone in another country.
Brought up to date after each flight
The next pass shows what moved, so progress is shown rather than asserted.
What it is not.
The register here is sample data
Owners, files and payments in this build are invented to show how a society’s own register sits on the map. Your figures come from your register.
Empty plots are counted by eye
The 52 buildings are found from the footage. The 13 empty plots are a person looking, and they are reported separately for that reason.
It is a record, not a survey
Good enough to see what is there and what is not. Where a boundary or an area has to be settled, a surveyed figure rules.
