AT GROUND LEVEL property owners and developers looking to find the best way to grow in today ’ s market .
While the benefits of tools such as this seem clear , it requires a real change in behaviour to seek out , understand and trust data in this way . Traditionally , local agents were the main source for finding properties marketed for sale or to let and get a deal . Nimbus makes it easy to see properties available on the market and apply a filter to rule out those that don ’ t work as a solution so you can quickly focus on those that do . In addition , it enables users to easily source off-market property data offering a direct option to target building owners , avoiding competition and enhancing deals .
Looking ahead
In any conversation about technology , Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and its impact on the PropTech sector cannot be ignored .
While AI has been used to support successful data gathering , cleansing , insight creation and analysis , AI I still not quite there yet – but there is certainly room for it to take off .
While AI cannot yet replace consultancy work from experts there is potential for it to support that work . An important factor for the industry to understand is that AI , and technology in general , is not going to take people ’ s jobs but enable them to make better use of their time and help them achieve their aims and ambitions – and Nimbus provides several examples .
With the time saved from utilising data to source ownership and planning information , the whole sector will benefit from improved productivity . Individuals can focus on other important tasks and offer new services that would otherwise have been impossible .
The aim of PropTech is not to make construction completely digital for the sake of it but to take away the heavy lifting and enable businesses and individuals to boost their offerings and open more lucrative opportunities . Investors can find better deals , property professionals can speedily gather the information they need to provide great advice , and surveyors can work quicker allowing them to spend more time building relationships – something technology will never replace . �
