About The Customer
SGS Studentbostäder is a student housing provider based in Kålltorp, Sweden. They are committed to providing quality housing solutions for students, with a focus on convenience and accessibility. The company is currently in the process of building 123 student apartments and is always looking for innovative ways to improve the rental experience for their prospective tenants. During the pandemic, they recognized the need for a solution that would allow prospective tenants to view and experience the apartments digitally, without the need for physical viewings. They commissioned Service Works Global to provide a digital visualization solution that would meet this need.
The Challenge
SGS Studentbostäder, a student housing provider in Kålltorp, Sweden, was in the process of building 123 student apartments. The challenge was to provide prospective tenants with a comprehensive preview of the apartments without the need for physical viewings. This was particularly important during the pandemic, where physical viewings were not feasible. The company wanted to offer a digital experience that would allow users to walk from room to room and get a genuine feel for the atmosphere. The level of detail required for this project was medium, but the company wanted the flexibility to offer a low, medium, or high level of detail as required.
The Solution
Service Works Global (SWG) was commissioned to deliver visualization technology to the SGS student housing portal. This technology allowed prospective tenants to go on a digital tour and get a complete overview of the apartment, both via the 3D floor plan and the 3D visualization. The visualization service was created for browsers, which means it could be used on a computer, tablet, or smartphone without the need for an app being installed. The project also included creating three-dimensional floor plans enabling tenants to visualize all the rooms in an apartment. Additionally, the technology provided the capability to measure from the floor plan, allowing students to obtain a good grasp of all the proportions and start planning how the apartment would be decorated.
