There’s a Plugin for that! My blog and some of my other web sites focus on visualising Asset & Facilities Management issues , so uses BIM, CAD, PDF’s, maps, databases, photographs, tables, graphs and other data associated with properties. I want to highlight Free WordPress Plugins that have worked for me on my Blog, Demo

The idea was to alter an existing Real Estate Site to a Asset Property Management Site in WordPress using free Templates/plugins. Go to apriori.ml to view the demonstration site. This has now evolved a bit as I can see extra things that I think  I want to do and add to the site. From the

Another post Heatmaps for visualising exterior and interior space conditions uses D3.js heatmaps. The good part of this is that you can use filters to explore the information and drill down into the data. Video (4min) I

It has been filtered for building fabric, services and joinery have been excluded at the beginning. It is a bit of a haphazard blog.
