3D Digital Twins & City Models for Councils
A digital twin is a working 3D model of a real place, in the browser, with your own data on top. We build them from OpenStreetMap and Ordnance Survey building footprints, LiDAR and terrain data, and your own site boundaries, allocations or asset records. Real extruded buildings, height-coloured massing, terrain, sun and shadow studies, and layers a committee or a resident can toggle without training. No desktop GIS licence, no login wall, no plugin: it opens on a laptop, a tablet or a phone.
Why UK councils and local-authority teams pick BozApps for 3d digital twins & city models
UK councils are sold expensive proprietary GIS platforms by vendors who don't understand local-authority procurement, accessibility regulations or public-sector budgets. BozApps (with parent firm Bozmaps) builds on open standards (MapLibre, OpenStreetMap, Ordnance Survey OpenData) with WCAG 2.2 AA baked in and a fixed-price commercial model that fits council budgeting.
Bozmaps geospatial heritage: open-source map stack, no proprietary lock-in
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility built in from day one, audited at launch
Welsh-language parity available for Welsh authorities
Public-sector accessibility statement template included
Source code lives in your GitHub org, so you exit clean if you ever in-house
Fixed-price discovery, fixed-price build, predictable monthly operations
