For housing societies, developers & planners

See every plot. Prove every promise.

One drone flight turns your society into a 3D map anyone can open on a phone, with every plot given its stage from the footage: finished, part built, or still bare ground. Send us your approved layout and we set the two side by side. Fly it again as the work goes on, and what goes under the ground is on record before the trenches are closed.

Our own recordings of these builds, playing here in the page. Each is built on licensed stock footage of somewhere we have no connection to, and the owners, payments and prices in any of them are invented and labelled on screen. Ask us and we will walk you through the live one.

The questions every society gets asked.

By buyers, by overseas investors, by the authority and by your own maintenance team. Today the answer is a site visit, a file search or a guess.

“Is my plot where my file says it is?”

Allocations that no longer match the ground, after re-planning, merged plots or a road moved.

“Where is the park from the brochure?”

Parks, mosques, schools and green belts on the approved layout that were never built, or were built somewhere else.

“What is under this road?”

Sewers, water mains and cables laid, covered and forgotten, until someone digs in the wrong place.

“How far has my house got?”

Owners abroad who paid for a plot they have never seen, and hear about progress second hand.

“What needs fixing, and where?”

Maintenance with no up-to-date map of what was actually built.

Three people ask for this, for three different reasons.

Society management, the buyer paying from another country, and the dealer who fields their questions. Each one below is in the same order: what hurts, what we do, what changes, and the published figure behind it.

5,118of 7,905 housing schemes counted in one province were illegal or still going through approval

Figures given to that province’s Chief Minister, reported in the national press in June 2025. “Illegal or under approval” is that count’s own wording and it does not mean every scheme in it is a fraud. The same report gives 2,687 as approved; those two numbers do not quite add up to the total it states, so we draw only the one it leads with. This is the number your buyers have heard about, and it is why they ask you for proof.

Society management and developers

Stalled work, funding, and buyers who want proof

What hurts
Plots sold on instalments fund the next stage of work. If buyers doubt that the work is moving, the payments slow and the work slows with them. And they are asking you for proof, because they have heard about the schemes that were not what they said.
What we do
A dated 3D map of your society, refreshed by a flight a month, with every plot coloured by stage and status, and a link any buyer can open on a phone.
What changes
You show proof instead of promises, you answer the same question once instead of fifty times, and you see sold, on instalments and still available on one screen. Your committee and your bank are looking at the same picture you are.
The published evidence
Buyers typically pay in instalments over three to five years, and developers use those payments as working capital, so delivery can depend on the next one arriving. Punjab counted 7,905 housing schemes, of which 5,118 were illegal or still going through approval.
A site read plot by plot from one pass: what is finished, what is part built and what is still bare ground, with a drag between the ground as it was and the model as it is now.

Buyers paying from another country

Trust, instalments, and land you have never stood on

What hurts
You cannot walk the plot. You rely on a dealer’s photographs and a message, and you send money to land you have never seen.
What we do
A plot passport: one link that shows the real ground, where your plot sits in it, the latest progress and the date it was captured. People in the scene are blurred. Once the society loads its register, your instalment status can sit beside the plot.
What changes
You see what your money is building, on your own phone, month after month, before you send the next instalment.
The published evidence
Under one in ten households receive workers’ remittances, yet they account for about 29% of what is spent on construction and home improvement. We found no published figure for how many buyers abroad buy off-plan or by file, so we do not quote one.
Every plot and whose it is: the owner, the build stage read from the footage, and which instalments are behind. Owners, files and payments are invented and labelled on screen.

Dealers, sales offices and file offices

The same three questions all day, and records on paper

What hurts
Dealers answer the same questions all day: is my plot developed, what stage is the road, is it approved? Meanwhile the file office holds the records on paper and in spreadsheets, and every answer means somebody going to look.
What we do
A dealer pack: the messages, a QR code and a short guide, so everybody sends the same link. Your register is laid over the map from your own spreadsheet, and how it is loaded is agreed with you.
What changes
Faster answers, fewer site visits a buyer has to make, and one source everyone points at instead of six versions of the truth.
The published evidence
The Rawalpindi Development Authority says a QR code system has been activated for housing society files to protect citizens from fraud, and that societies holding a valid NOC are legally recognised. Scan and verify is already how some authorities want buyers to check. We found no published figure for the time dealers spend answering buyer questions, so we do not quote one.

These figures show the size of the problem your buyers have heard about. They do not say your society is part of it. We do not check approvals or legal status: that stays with your authority. Every film here is one of our own builds on licensed stock footage, and the owners, payments and prices in them are invented and labelled on screen.

Simam can do this for you.

Each of these starts from the same flight. Most societies want two or three of them.

Every plot, mapped in 3D

The whole society rebuilt in 3D from the flight, with every plot found, pinned where it stands and coloured by stage: empty, foundations, structure, finished.

Plan against ground

Your approved layout laid over what was actually built. Plots, roads and amenity sites that do not match are flagged, so your surveyor knows exactly where to look.

A plot passport for every owner

A private link per plot: its stage, the view from every flight, and what changed since last month. An owner on the other side of the world sees their plot without getting on a plane.

Before it is buried

Fly while trenches are open and slabs are poured. Pipes, cables and foundations are kept in 3D, in place, for every repair that comes after.

Paperwork against the ground

Allotment files, registers and handwritten ledgers read by AI, cross-checked against the plot map, with only the doubtful entries sent to a person.

See it finished

A picture of the finished street or the owner’s own home, made from the real view of the plot and always labelled as an illustration.

Underground works

Record it before it is covered.

We cannot see through soil, and nobody honestly can. What we can do is capture the works while they are open: the steel, the footings, the pipe runs and the cable ducts, in 3D and in their true positions. A year later, when a main needs repairing or a new connection has to go in, the record shows where things are instead of someone’s memory of it.

These are live demos from our research lab, not showreels. Each one reports its measured results and what it still gets wrong.

  • Every plot given its stage from the 3D rather than from somebody’s report, and coloured on the map.
  • A register over the top, who holds each plot or floor, filtered by sold, booked, on instalments or free, and checked against what the drone actually saw.
  • Click anything for its detail: a plot opens its passport, a building its height, floors and footprint.
  • Layers over the ground: work areas, materials and plant, hazards, and a route walked across the site.
  • Its own numbers, printed: frames kept, how long the rebuild took, how closely it matches the footage, and which figures are measured rather than estimated.
Split view from a drone's position: bare land rebuilt in 3D with model houses and services on the left, an AI picture of the finished society on the right

Day one of a society

  • Bare land in 3D, 37.7 dB
  • 68 buildings to click
  • Today against three years on

A new society on its first day, graded earth and a site office, rebuilt in 3D from one 43-second drone orbit. An AI masterplan is laid on the real ground with plots at the sizes they are really sold in, 2.2 km of streets, and water, sewer, power and gas under them. Every plot, the mosque, the school and the shops get a building you can click for its size, structure, services and build time, and a timeline builds it all phase by phase. Stand where the drone stood and drag between the site today and an AI picture of the same view three years on. The plan and the pictures are AI illustrations, labelled as such.

A terrace of row houses rebuilt in 3D, every unit pinned and the grey structures behind it labelled

Row houses

  • 32 buildings, 7 empty plots
  • Stage read 91%
  • 8 of 8 grey structures

A second society on the same map, from a different clip: a terrace of developer-built row houses with owner-built homes behind, every unit pinned and every building read for how far it has got. Its first 3D solve came out inside out; we caught it and solved it again before building anything on it.

A handwritten rainfall register with every cell shaded by whether the AI read it right

Handwritten records

  • A century of ledgers
  • 610 of 610 when two agree
  • Checks its own totals

Handwritten registers from the 1860s to the 1950s read cell by cell and scored against human copies. Where two readers agree, every cell was right; the rest go to a person.

A whole housing sector mapped in 3D, plot by plot and phase by phase

A whole sector

  • Plots, phases and blocks
  • Built against still empty
  • One flight, one map

The same approach taken across a full sector rather than one block: every plot and phase on one map, with what is built set against what is still bare ground. This is the view a sales office or a development authority asks for, because it answers how far along the whole thing is in one screen. Sample data, labelled on screen.

A commercial quarter rebuilt in 3D with every building measured and a register of its floors

Commercial core

  • 16 seconds of footage
  • Every building measured
  • A register per floor

The commercial quarter of a society rebuilt from sixteen seconds of drone footage, with every building measured from the 3D and a register of who holds each floor. Measurements from a capture are for seeing and comparing, not for settling anything, and the surveyed figure rules. Sample tenants, labelled on screen.

Selling plots or phases before they are built? There is a page written for that, in the terms those buyers use. Enquiries about it usually come by WhatsApp rather than by email, so that is open too: message us on WhatsApp. It reaches a person, not a queue, and it is the fastest way to get a straight answer about whether your footage will rebuild.

See them running.

Six of these moving, rather than six pictures of them. Every one is a sample build of ours: the societies, the owners, the payments and the prices in them are invented and say so on screen. The first plays by itself; the rest start when you ask, so the page does not pull video you did not want.

Walk a block that is still going up. Inside and out, floor by floor, with what is finished and what is not marked on the structure as you pass it. Anybody who happened to be in shot has been blurred.
A whole sector, block by block. Every flat and every shop on the face of the building it sits in. The register of what is sold, booked and available is sample data, and the film says so.
Every plot, and whose it is. A register of owners, files and payments laid over the 3D and checked against what the drone actually saw. The owners and payments are invented for the demo.
Bare land, with the plan on the real ground. Streets, services and plots drawn onto the earth as it is on day one, then the years running forward. The masterplan is an AI illustration, not an approved drawing.
The same ground, read for progress. Each plot given its stage from the 3D rather than from somebody’s report, and the register checked against it.
What one pass can be read for. Roofs, roads and plots found and coloured by an AI, heights taken off the 3D, and before, now and finished set side by side.

Measurements taken off a capture are for seeing and comparing: roughly ten to twenty per cent where the scale is set from the storeys of a building, and rougher again from flying height alone. Where a figure matters legally or commercially the surveyed number rules, and nothing in these films settles a boundary, an area or an allotment.

Three ways to start.

Every society is a different size, so each one is quoted after we have seen your layout and a sample of footage. There is no price list. Looking at your footage costs nothing.

Four steps, then a link.

No hardware to buy and nothing to install.

  1. 01

    Fly

    Your pilot, or ours.

    A planned flight over the society. If you already film the site, your own footage is usually enough.

    Typical: Half a day to a day on site
  2. 02

    Rebuild

    The society in 3D.

    We turn the flight into a 3D model and find every plot in it.

    Typical: Three to seven working days
  3. 03

    Check

    Against your plan and your files.

    Your approved layout and your records are matched to what is on the ground, and the differences are listed.

    Typical: Inside the same build
  4. 04

    Share

    One link each.

    Your team, your authority and every plot owner see what they need, on a phone.

    Typical: One to two weeks end to end

What it is, and what it is not.

Out of the box, a flight gives you a progress and planning picture: what is built, where, and how it compares with the plan. That is enough to spot a missing park, a plot built out of line or a stalled phase.

Settling a boundary dispute is different. That needs survey-grade measurement, so for those projects we add ground control points or a survey-grade drone and work alongside a licensed local surveyor. We will always tell you which of the two you are getting.

Questions.

The ones societies ask first.

Do we need our own drone?

No. If you already film the society, we can usually work from that footage. If not, a local pilot can fly it to a simple brief we give them.

You are based in the UK. Can you work on a scheme in another country?

Yes, and most of what you can see on this page already is. The society examples are built from footage of schemes in Pakistan, and the apartment and district example is Almaty, in Kazakhstan. Those are our own builds rather than commissions, so treat them as what the method does, not as a client list. The work happens on the footage, not on site, so we can start without anyone travelling. Calls, reports and links all work remotely.

Can plot owners see each other’s plots?

Only if you want them to. Each plot passport is a private link, and what it shows is set by you.

How often should we fly?

Monthly while a phase is under construction, and whenever trenches or foundations are open. Once a phase is finished, a flight a year keeps the record current.

Is it accurate enough for legal boundaries?

Not on its own, and we will not claim it is. For boundary work we add ground control or a survey-grade drone and a licensed surveyor. For progress, planning and buyer updates, a normal flight is enough.

Can it connect to our plot database or CRM?

Yes. The plot map is software, so plot numbers, owners and payment status can be linked to it, and the portal can live on your own domain.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of the society and what you want from it, so we quote after seeing your layout and a sample of footage. Looking at your footage costs nothing.
