Practical calculators for your project.
A handful of free, no-sign-up calculators that give you a fast, transparent orientation before you request a quote — from ROI estimates to scan effort.
3D Tour ROI Calculator
Estimate how much a virtual tour can lift enquiries, time-on-page and completed appointments.
Open toolArea & Price Estimator
Get a first, transparent orientation for your project based on property size and scope of services.
Open toolScan Effort Calculator
Work out the approximate time and number of scan positions a 3D capture will need, based on area and complexity.
Open toolHome Staging: Virtual vs. Physical
Compare the cost of virtual and physical home staging side by side – including the effect of the marketing period.
Open toolVacancy & Marketing Duration Calculator
Work out what every week of marketing time costs – and what a shorter marketing period would be worth.
Open toolListing Package Configurator
Assemble your listing package from photography, tour, floor plan and video and see the starting price.
Open toolWhy we build calculators instead of hiding prices
Anyone planning a visual real-estate or digitization project wants a rough sense of scope and cost early on — before entering a sales conversation. Our tools are meant to provide exactly that: a transparent first orientation you can arrive at yourself, in a minute, without a form. The results are deliberately shown as ranges and estimates, because every property is different: room count, ceiling heights, surfaces, access and the intended use all shift the picture. Treat the numbers as a starting point for a well-informed conversation, not as a binding quote. If a result looks plausible for your project, a short briefing is usually enough for us to turn it into a firm offer.
What the calculators can and cannot do
Every calculator on this page works with typical values from projects we have actually delivered. That makes them useful for orientation and useless for precision. A three-room apartment with clear sightlines and good daylight is captured faster than a listed building with narrow corridors, mezzanine levels and heavy furniture — even though both show the same floor area. Treat every result as the midpoint of a range, and expect your specific project to sit somewhere around it rather than exactly on it.
Why area alone is a poor predictor
The single most common misconception is that effort scales with square metres. In practice it scales with the number of rooms, the number of doors and level changes, and the complexity of sightlines. A 200 square metre open-plan office needs far fewer capture positions than a 120 square metre apartment split into eight small rooms. Reflective surfaces — large glazing, mirrors, polished floors — add further positions because they need to be captured from angles that avoid reflections. When a result surprises you, the room count is usually the reason.
What shifts the numbers in practice
Three factors move estimates more than anything else. Access is the first: a building that has to be captured outside operating hours, or where keys must be collected from three different parties, adds time that has nothing to do with the property itself. Preparation is the second: rooms that are cleared and tidy are captured in one pass, cluttered rooms need repeat visits or retouching afterwards. The intended use is the third — a capture for marketing tolerates a different level of detail than one that will serve as construction documentation or as the basis for a survey.
Using the results in a conversation
The most productive way to use these tools is to bring the result into the first call. If a figure looks too high for your budget, that is a useful starting point: there is almost always a version of the project that fits, whether by reducing scope, combining services into one appointment or capturing in phases. If a figure looks lower than expected, it usually means the tool has not accounted for something specific to your property — and it is better to discover that before an offer than after it.
From estimate to firm quote
Turning an estimate into a fixed price normally takes one short briefing. What helps most: floor plans if they exist, the number of rooms and floors, a note on access and occupancy, and a sentence on what the result is for. With that, a binding offer is usually a matter of a day or two. If your project falls outside the range these calculators cover — very large portfolios, unusual building types, ongoing documentation across months — the tools will not help much, and a direct conversation is the faster route.
Why we do not hide prices
In property services, "price on request" is the norm. The reasoning is understandable: every property differs, and a stated price becomes an anchor that is hard to move away from later. The downside is that prospects avoid the effort of enquiring as long as they do not know whether they are in the right ballpark at all. We resolve that with ranges rather than fixed prices: transparent enough for a budget decision, honest enough not to feign a precision nobody can deliver before inspecting the property.
What a quotation should contain
When comparing several offers, look for the items that are often missing: travel and journey time, post-processing, the number of revision rounds included, usage rights for print and online, hosting duration for tours, and the cost of later changes. Usage rights in particular are underestimated. A cheap offer covering only use in your own brochure becomes expensive as soon as the material is to appear on portals, in social media and in printed documents.
When bundling pays off
The largest single item is often not the service itself but travel and scheduling. Anyone combining several services into one appointment – photos, tour, survey, aerial shots – pays considerably less for the second and third than when commissioning them separately. For portfolios with several properties in one location the same principle applies at a larger scale, and where commissioning is predictable across the year, a framework agreement is almost always cheaper than individual orders.
Why experience beats formulas
The underlying values come from invoiced projects, not from a theoretical calculation. There is a practical reason for that: formulas describe the ideal case in which everything is ready and nobody is waiting. Reality includes locked doors, obstructed rooms, appointments cancelled at short notice and properties laid out differently from the drawing. These deviations are not exceptions but the rule – and they are baked into the values the calculators work with.
What not to do with the result
A calculated figure is not a negotiating position against third parties. Using a number from a calculator to push down another provider’s quote compares quantities that are not comparable – scope, usage rights and post-processing differ considerably. The figure is useful for your own budget planning and for the question of whether a project is broadly within your means. Everything beyond that requires a quotation describing the specific scope.
