Why do Communications and Planning belong together?
Because great planning needs great communication. Planning sits at the interface between…
- The physical and technical
- The psychological and emotional
There are thousands of types of plans being made every day – like:
- Planning a launch
- Planning a development
- Planning site works
- Planning emergencies
- Planning a bid
All planning requires good communication so you can win trust and understanding faster.
By combining 3D Planning & 3D Comms – our major clients and partners are able to build trust and win great work, faster and easier than traditional methods.
Case Study: Frankston Hospital


Project leaders knew they needed :
- Great Site Interface Plans – proving the hospital functions unhindered during construction
- Great Planning Customer Experience – planning together using live 3D planning
- Build Deep Trust in Relationships – by working in an open customer experience
That means Great Planning and Great Plans are needed. Both the verb and the noun.
3D Site Plans are up-cycled for 3D Communications. The 3D comms process is to
- Understand the real story – through great questions and analysis.
- Script the key messages into a narrative
- Build a visual storyboard – words into a visual script
Animate and render – build a compelling communique to engage and inform
The value? Winning trust. Gaining understanding. Building high value relationships.
3D Planning gives you powerful communications automatically.
Adding 3D Comms makes your plans irresistible.
