Urban digital twin / disaster recovery

A digital twin for cities after disaster.

Help cities understand what remains and plan what comes next. BuildingsLife.ai connects building photographs, digital records, elevations, 3D models and maps to support technical review and recovery planning.

01 / Cities affected by disaster

Understand the damage. Plan the city's recovery.

War, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, extreme heat, ice and freezing, storms and fires leave different kinds of damage. Recovery starts with a documented understanding of the buildings, streets and neighbourhoods affected.

BuildingsLife.ai builds that urban picture one building at a time: connect each location to its source evidence and digital geometry, so teams have a clearer basis for assessment and reconstruction planning.

01

City context

Place documented buildings on a map by address or coordinates to understand their urban setting.

02

Source evidence

Keep photographs and AI-assisted building records together, ready for your review.

03

Digital geometry

Create perspective-corrected elevations and indicative 3D massing linked to the original evidence.

04

Recovery planning

Organize the evidence that qualified teams need to assess buildings and define recovery work.

02 / The recovery workflow

From city context to recovery decisions.

Locate buildings, gather evidence, create their digital records and support the technical work needed for recovery. The full process extends to architectural drawings and indicative cost estimates, with verified data and professional review.

Photograph-based records, elevations, indicative 3D massing and maps are available today. Satellite and drone processing, technical assessment, detailed drawings and recovery budgets belong to the broader workflow explained in How it works.

Explore the full workflow
01

Locate affected buildings

Use satellite maps for city-wide context. In the app today, place buildings by address or coordinates.

02

Gather drone footage and photographs

Collect views of facades, roofs and visible damage. The app currently supports photograph-based records, not drone video processing.

03

Create the digital twin

Connect source photographs, corrected elevations, indicative 3D massing and location in a digital record for each building.

04

Assess construction and damage

Qualified specialists review construction methods, building age, materials and damage. This is not an automated structural safety assessment.

05

Prepare architectural drawings

Use verified surveys and professional input for plans, sections and recovery designs. Perspective-corrected elevations are available in the app today.

06

Estimate recovery costs

The broader workflow uses verified quantities, work scope and local rates for indicative budgets. The current app does not automate this stage.

03 / Clear capabilities

A practical starting point for city recovery.

  • Available today: private, photograph-based building records with AI assistance, corrected elevations, indicative 3D massing and maps.
  • Technical conclusions and structural safety require qualified review and verified survey data.
  • Detailed architectural drawings and recovery budgets require further professional work. Cost estimates are not guaranteed quotations.
  • Satellite-image processing, drone-video processing and automated recovery cost estimation are not currently available.
  • No disaster alerts, predictions or live event monitoring. The video is an illustrative visualization, not a measured city reconstruction.
