Digital Twin

We use 3D scanning technology to create a ‘digital twin’ of a buildings interior. This is especially useful for landlords to record the condition and extent of their space prior to agreement for lease with their tenants.

A digital twin can also be used as a virtual tour allowing landlords to showcase their property to the world 24/7.

A digital twin is a great way to compliment an agreement for lease tenant pack as it provides a record of the space prior to a tenant undertaking CAT-B interior fit-out works, during the dilapidations period the digital twin can be used as a visual reference to assist with this process.

This service is also a great way for our clients to showcase the completed project to stakeholders and clients.

Clients we have worked with

  • “I would highly recommend Neil. We first worked together about 8 years ago for a project in Gateshead and he did such a great job he is now my go to architectural designer for any project across the UK. He truly listens to the brief and asks all the right questions to capture and prioritise all the requirements. He has an exceptional eye for detail, not just aesthetically, but also with regard to practicality and functionality (in my experience a lot of architects only focus on the aesthetics) so the true advantage of Neil’s work is that it works and stays looking good as you don’t have to tinker with it to make it function properly afterwards.”

    Lucy Taylor - Director, Property & Facilities - Xplor

  • “Xplor Technologies office which is located in the Central Square South building, Newcastle Upon Tyne opened in November 2021. 5EDGE Architectural Design Service were commissioned to design an open & collaborative layout plan office for a busy 146 desk call center / training environment incorporating breakout space for lunch, coffee breaks and informal meetings. I worked closely with Neil Sedgley of 5EDGE whom I found to be an extremely likeable, professional, always very approachable and on hand during the design & fit out process. The M&E installations are easy to manage making the facilities management very practical, straight forward and stress free. Upon opening the new office our colleagues and visitor have been hugely impressed with the working environment and give the option to often work from home most staff have chosen to commute to the office to enjoy the working space which provides a good mix of desks and away from desk working also the opportunity to engage in face to face meetings. The attention to detail in terms of the overall design is very impressive using high quality finishings throughout. A lot of consideration was given to noise suppression during the design stage as the office is primarily a call centre environment. This has been achieved throughout and a more relaxed place to work has been achieved. The initial close out and hand over of the office as the project was seamless and extremely thorough. I would recommend 5EDGE for any similar style projects.”

    Neil Brown - Regional Facilities Manager EMEA - Xplor

  • “I worked with 5EDGE on a particularly intricate scheme in the city centre of Newcastle. My role in the project team was the site lead of the principal contractor within a traditional project setup. First impression was being bowled over at how comprehensive the architectural pack was. For example; the NBS was full with specific details, the elevation pack left nothing to interpretation with the same reflected in the setting out drawings. Details became apparent as the build continued which tied the entire scheme together. Exceptional skill level. On site; Neil was approachable, open to discussion but made it clear that all design detail went through him. From a builders perspective Neil’s input was incredibly valuable and readily given. I can honestly say Neil is the most talented and diligent architectural designer I’ve ever had on site.”

    Gunars Mantinieks - Site Manager, Overbury - Northern

  • ‘Having worked with 5Edge on a past project, I am nothing but impressed. As a design manager, I work closely with the design team, and Neil was my point of contact within the professional team. He is both exceptional at pulling a cohesive scheme together, and refined in his approach to ensure that all details are thoroughly considered. Neil will take on board advice and experience from specialists in the field to ensure that the best possible outcome is achieved; and is fair in his approach with both his client and the main contractor that he works with. Neil is always keen to visit site, to view the progress but also help overcome any challenges that arise. Neil favours a team approach with everyone involved and will always collaborate to find the best solution. My personal opinion is that Neil is fantastic at what he does and an asset to any design team.'

    Liam Rowan - Design Manager, Overbury

  • “I am Richard Walker a Project Manager for Overbury Fit Out Northern, I had the pleasure of working with Neil last year. The project was a high specification Fit Out with most of the construction being Metsec which my team and I were relatively unfamiliar with. Neil’s design was of a level it made everything very simple, his drawing pack was the best I’d seen and his attention for detail left nothing to question. He supported us extensively throughout the whole process and made what could have been a difficult job very easy indeed. I very much look forward to working with him again in the future as his knowledge, detail and diligence is second to none “

    Richard Walker - Design & Build Manager , Overbury

It has truly been a pleasure working with you throughout this project. Your dedication and attention to detail are remarkable, and you will undoubtedly be our first choice for any future projects.
