What do you use architectural renderings for and when do you order them?

This question seems so simple that you may think us daft for even suggesting that you need to be informed. But a surprising number of clients have no idea when to order their images because they don't understand the full scope of what they can be used for.

Staged architectural rendering service

Before you understand when you can order images you must also understand that architectural renderings can be staged. We can produce them as information becomes available and the costs for altering the images is often less than you may expect. It wasn't easy to make it work this way but it was necessary due to the current sales process for developments, which is no longer on completed product but is actually happening during the design phase of the development. We can prioritize different parts of the project to suit your design process and marketing needs.

For example, if you have the exterior of the building worked out and you are now designing the interiors then we could complete the outside structure ASAP and get your project to market based on that. As the interiors are designed we create additional renderings that are added to your presentation. Considering that most marketing is now digital the process of adding new architectural renderings is extremely simple.

You could also turn this example around and work on interior images and other features while the outside structure is composed.

With this in mind it is clear to see that you can actually start the creation of architectural renderings early. One caveat, however, is that if you desire to have fly-through animated video then the time required to re-process areas that are affected by alterations can sometimes stretch out. It is recommended that if you know certain parts of the building will change significantly that you discuss how much additional processing time will be required for animated video.
