From Fornite to Forever Homes: MyHomeFinder

To use the Unreal gaming engine to revolutionise the new home buying journey, rethinking how customers explore and choose their new home, and how development data flows internally at Strata Homes. 

This web-first interface ensures the quality of the user interface never degrades through streaming, experiences respond cleanly across devices and device specific journeys can be delivered without compromise, respecting the user experience of the nearly 80% of users accessing the platform on mobile devices.  

This cohesive and uninterrupted experience between Strata’s website and the Unreal Engine is supported behind the scenes by a reusable framework. Shared logic, visual standards and data structures ensure consistency without rigidity and speed without compromise; crucial in a market where planning stages and site conditions can change quickly.

Another key innovation here, was the introduction of visual “stages”: concept, pre-application, and operational, allowing developments in the virtual world of MyHomeFinder to evolve visually alongside the real-world planning and build process, avoiding premature or misleading representation of the new homes being built. In combination, these innovations reduced production time and maximised the long-term value of MyHomeFinder.
