UC planning transforms your clunky, slow, expensive planning process into agile, flexible, nimble and iterative development. With our UC Planning, In one package you win the power to create, test, optioneer, prove, develop, simulate, engage, induct and instruct others – interactively, collaboratively and in real-time. We provide online, cloud-based 3D planning tools to a full-service consultancy. Contact us to learn more and for pricing options.

Project managers work in complex environments. Each new stakeholder or interface can compound planning complexity and engagement to negotiate and assure a project outcome. In complex projects, you might have dozens to thousands of constraints, interfaces and stakeholders to manage.
Interfaces include constraints, adjacent operations, neighbours, safety, access, solar and sightlines, wayfinding, signalling, user and operator experience, flooding, hydrology and utilities, functional outcomes, engineering compliance and more. Stakeholders can include businesses, operators, operators, staff, neighbours, agencies, lobby groups, politicians, contractors, communities, regulators, clients, managers, executives and adjacent projects. Planning is not simple.
UC Planning helps you accelerate your project development, O&M and constructability testing, communications and engagement with agile 3D real time planning. Virtual or in-person interactive planning workshops allow agile iteration and refinement collaboratively. Linked directly to our communication and engagement service, you can have 3D renders and visualization any time.

To test and simulate projects during planning is expensive and complex using conventional planning methods. Our next-generation digital 3D planning makes it immediate from day 1 to build parametric 3D plans in context so you can simulate operations, access and user experience, constructability and temporary works, signalling, signage and wayfinding, townscape integration and visual impacts from anywhere, yields, costs, interfaces, solar access, active transport, and functional relationships quickly and easily. That’s why UC digital planning is saving project managers and planners time, money, risk and stress.
Tradition planning sees separate commissions for all these studies by expensive consultants. We ingest CAD, BIM, survey data like LiDAR point clouds and photogrammetry and bring it all to life at your fingertips in a real-time 3D planning simulator so you can test, experience and communicate live. It’s the digital transformation of planning, available today. Contact us to find out more.
“Planning that took over a year with an AEC with little clarity and low confidence, UC have resolved in a few weeks. Alignment options, interfaces and customer experience are now totally understood. Plus we have great tools to negotiate with key stakeholders and make progress. The real-time workshops are great.”
— Queensland Transport and Main Roads Planning Manager
UC planning provides value along the entire project development, construction and operations asset lifecycle. The greatest RoI achieved the earlier in the project lifecycle it is implemented because this is when clients have the greatest opportunity to influence change and save money in later design and construction stages.
Live feedback is invaluable in an accurate, measurable, 3D high fidelity geo-spatial environment. Clients enjoy complete and total visibility to discuss and iterate with tools to test options and their multiple impacts with instant, animated, human-scale and behavioural feedback.
Clients and their stakeholders slice and dice, push-and-pull infrastructure components in our 3D planning platform. The immediate engineering implications, human-scale feedback across interfaces and experiences at human scale in real-time gives confidence and assurance and builds shared vision and understanding.
UC Planning is perfect for programme and project managers who are planning works with complex interfaces and stakeholders. UC Planning works with infrastructure clients globally from our headquarters in Melbourne Australia.

Facilitating complex optioneering in constrained environments above-and-below
Infrastructure managers using conventional planning methods face these kinds of challenges. UC Planning solves many of them….
Optioneering takes too long
Integration is like herding cats
Variations keep occurring
Bad outcomes in cost / time / quality / risk
Comparing plans is mind-bending
2D planning is too hard to understand
The outcome was different to the plan
Validating plan impacts is difficult
Shared understanding is absent
Collaboration is low
Plan review and feedback is glacial
Understanding interface impacts is difficult
Rapid test-and-learn is not available
Temporary works planning is clunky
Staff just work it out on-site (no plan)
Increased safety risks
Working blind, with no shared vision
Winning the hearts and minds
Negotiating the plan is painful
Plan responsiveness is low to change
Responding – to changes / emergencies
Planning for multi-use in space or time
Plan adaptivity to external shocks
Selling the plan – up, down and sideways
Deciding on the plan across groups
CX planning – customer experience
