Geometry purchase options for non-licence holders

For non-licence holders, VU.CITY provides the option to purchase geometry from our main base model, with the addition of the recently completed schemes. This combination offers access to a comprehensive set of geometrical data that reflects the current developments within the cityscape. This offering is designed to ensure that even without a full licence, users can still obtain valuable data for their planning and development needs, albeit with a focus on already completed projects as opposed to ongoing or future developments.

Level of Detail (LOD)

VU.CITY offers a detailed and tiered pricing structure for ordering geometry, tailored to the scale of the project and the level of detail (LOD) required. Here’s a breakdown of our pricing for different LODs and project sizes.

LOD 1 For larger, less detailed requirements, the minimum order is 0.5 km² at a cost of £1,000 per km².

LOD 2 Offers a moderate level of detail with a minimum order size of 0.3 km², priced at £2,000 per km².

LOD 3 Provides the highest level of detail suitable for detailed planning and visualisation. The minimum order size is 0.1 km², with a cost of £3,500 per km².

Project fee based on area size

Up to 0.24 km²: A project fee of £150 is applicable for small area requests.

0.25 - 0.49 km²: For medium-sized projects, the fee increases to £300.

0.50 - 0.74 km²: Larger projects within this range incur a fee of £450.

0.75 km² and above: The largest project size has a fee of £600, accommodating substantial development or detailed urban planning projects.

Special considerations
