--- title: Valuing land with a digital twin | Inviewd description: IMERZA analyses daylight, sight lines and traffic noise on a 3D model to work out what a site is really worth before the first brick. lang: en canonical: https://inviewd.com/en/valorar-terreno-gemelo-digital.html source: https://inviewd.com/en/valorar-terreno-gemelo-digital.html markdown: https://inviewd.com/en/valorar-terreno-gemelo-digital.md publisher: Inviewd S.A.S. --- # Valuing a site before you buy it A real estate project is won or lost long before the first crew arrives. It is won when someone gets the site right, gets right what fits on it, and gets right what people will pay to live there. And that decision is still made, almost always, with a site plan, a zoning study and a good deal of intuition. The short version - The most expensive decision in a project is made before there is any construction: which site to buy and what fits on it. - IMERZA analyses daylight, sight lines and even traffic noise in 3D to estimate the real value of the land. - Its founder puts it this way: a digital twin stops being a final product and becomes a living asset. - Bedrock Detroit applies the same principle city-wide, to model insurance risk and manage assets long term. - In Colombia this settles something very concrete: which unit types sell first, and at what price.

The most interesting case for anyone buying land is **IMERZA** and its work on the Maverick project for Discovery Land Company. What they do is not a pretty walkthrough. They visualise the terrain in 3D and analyse daylight, sight lines and even traffic noise on it, so they can calculate the real value of the land before a single brick is laid. The model stops being a marketing piece and becomes, in the article’s words, a financial instrument. Dorian Vee, founder and chief technology officer at IMERZA, frames it like this: > “The Maverick project for Discovery Land Company is a clear example of what can be achieved when digital twins are conceived as living assets rather than as final products.” And on what the model lets the buyer do: > “What began as a design evaluation tool now allows buyers to make key decisions, such as checking lot availability, enjoying the views and getting familiar with a different lifestyle without needing to visit the site.” Vee adds that after a decade in the sector and more than two hundred deployments, from large master plans to luxury developments, the result is that the model evolves with the project instead of freezing at the sales stage. ## The same idea, at city scale Bedrock Detroit applies the principle to an entire urban portfolio. There the digital twin is no longer for showing an apartment: it is for modelling insurance risk, running weather simulations and managing assets long term. Same tool, answering management questions rather than marketing ones. ## What this means for a project in Colombia Almost all of the above translates into a question any project manager recognises: **which apartments in this tower will sell first, and which will sit?** The answer depends on things a drawing does not show well: which floors get afternoon sun, which ones look at the mountain and which look at the building across the street, which facade faces the noisy avenue. All of it can be checked on a model before the unit mix is fixed and before the price list is set. The arithmetic is simple. According to Camacol, more than 70% of new-home purchases in Colombia are made off-plan. If seven in ten of your sales happen before there is any construction, the model you use to decide is, literally, all you have. This is exactly what we do at the [project verification](https://inviewd.com/en/vista-d360.html) stage: cross the model with the real surroundings so design and pricing decisions are made by looking, not by assuming. ## Sources [Unreal Engine — Long live the decision engine: how UE is powering the future of home building (February 2026)](https://www.unrealengine.com/news/long-live-the-decision-engine-how-ue-is-powering-the-future-of-home-building) · [Semana: Camacol on off-plan purchases (May 2026, in Spanish)](https://www.semana.com/hablan-las-marcas/articulo/sera-un-ano-bisagra-camacol-analiza-el-panorama-de-la-vivienda-en-colombia/202616/) ## Keep reading - [The corporate tenant doesn't assess the building: they assess the block](https://inviewd.com/en/contexto-urbano-esg-proyectos-comerciales.html) - [The hidden cost of design errors (and how 3D prevents them)](https://inviewd.com/en/costo-errores-diseno-obra-modelo-3d.html) - [Adjusting the project in 3D before selling the first apartment](https://inviewd.com/en/decidir-proyecto-en-3d-antes-de-construir.html) See the service: [Vista D360 — 3D project verification](https://inviewd.com/en/vista-d360.html) ## How to build a 100% digital sales room A 7-step roadmap for selling off-plan projects, with data from Camacol and McKinsey and the case of a project sold 100% virtually. ### Want to see this on your project?
