"We have been seeking a site design and event planning tool to assist us with infrastructure placement, crowd management planning, site capacity management and logistical planning in transport and crowd movement. Urban Circus have developed a scale 3D solution allowing us to design to scale five sites located over the Gallipoli Peninsula. We have now removed the guess work in infrastructure placement, traffic management, crowd movement and contingency planning for this important event."

"SA Health required a communication and design development tool to advance a critical social infrastructure project. The team at UC were able to quickly understand the scope of the work required and provided a high quality product that exceeded our expectations. Importantly, they were able to do this within tight time and budget constraints. UC were able to create a model that gives people a 'real life' view of the developing deign, facilitating a broader understanding of how a new approach to providing mental health care might look. The team were responsive and client centred and the quality of the end product represents genuine value for money."

David Forster, Senior Project Manager
Major Projects Office, SA Health

UC was not only responsive and met our critical deadline, but provided additional value and service above and beyond my expectations. Their team communication and management, in-house modelling expertise, attention to detail and production quality was excellent."

Jared Barnes, Senior Urban Designer
Adelaide City Council

"DTEI had presented plans and artists impressions to the community however it was not until we were able to engage UC and work with their team to develop a fully interactive model of the overpass that we gained the support of the local residents.

The UC model is a tool that allows the accurate detail of the project to be clearly presented. DTEI used the tool to identify and explore areas within the design where improvements were required. This further contributed to the development of a final design for a project which will be both safe in operation as well as a pedestrian friendly space.

The team at UC were client focussed in the development of the model and provided regular updates of expenditure against budget. The project team would be pleased to engage UC for future projects where a high level of community understanding is required."

Paul Gelston, Project Director
Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure, South Australia

UC undertook the work in a professional manner, working closely with both Adelaide City Council and Taylor Cullity Lethlean. They quickly established a basic model and then finessed the imagery to produce a remarkable level of accuracy in a short space of time. The fly-through has been very effective at both a political and community level. It has portrayed the spatial character of the proposal as well as the intended atmosphere of the place. I have no hesitation in recommending UC.

Kevin Taylor, Director, Taylor Cullity Lethlean

"When it comes down to it - the UC team 'get it'. They know what they're doing, chase all the data, do all the legwork, bring everything together on time and produce great outcomes. As a client, I feel confident it will be done and done well. UC not only produce great video animations, but the interactive community sessions using the Virtual Reality technology has been a great success with hundreds of people lining up to use it on the night. We also have the ability to take the animation directly to the community on laptop as part of our consultation program."

"This has been a high value communication solution for the RTA across several infrastructure projects. UC provide a very professional service."

Fiona Court, General Manager, Infrastructure Communication

"UC produced a high quality, precise visualisation of Cross River Rail as part of the detailed feasibility phase. The visualisation brought Cross River Rail, and in particular the four new underground stations and two new surface stations, to life. It's been a fantastic tool to demonstrate to the community and key stakeholders the look and feel of the project and how it could operate.From day one UC were responsive, professional and all outputs were delivered on time and to our exact requirements. UC understands the infrastructure industry and use cutting edge technology to achieve outstanding results."

Luke Franzmann, Project Director (Cross River Rail)
Rail Rail Ports & Freight Division,
Department of Transport and Main Roads, Qld

"the UC solution has reduced five meetings down to one across the board. Complaints and ministerials have stopped. We don't need to take engineers out to explain issues – we get to do our job now....

We would also like to mention the great service from UC. It is very personal and very responsive. Not just from a technical level, but from a general service level. We feel very supported. Working remotely has not been a problem at all". The project team used the digital model for over 1,250 hours, or 75,000 minutes, in the first 12 months.

Bill Zhang and Desmond Khoo, Senior Project Managers
South Road Superway, DTEI SA 

"As the interactive model facilitated the client's understanding of our proposal, we believe that the model provided was a factor in assisting us to win this important tender."

"2 days and you understood and developed the concept into a working Virtual Plan.... before that it was 2 months and the architect still didn't get it...."

"The charrette drawings looked nice – but were so wrong when made real. UC rebuilt the whole masterplan quickly, then created a clear Plan for funding."

Julian Bunting, Town Planner, Logan City.

"I'm always impressed with the team at UC and their ability to turn around urgent jobs quickly. On a number of occasions we have needed things like images captured from our 4D model at short notice and UC always manage to exceed our expectations. This has helped us be responsive to community and media requests which is important when managing issues on major projects."
