Firstly, you can use 3D Renders to identify and potential flaw in the architectural concept while you are still designing the project. Looking at your idea in a photo-realistic setting allows you to notice the imperfections and adds a layer of convenience to sort out design challenges. For example, you can change the textures of the siding, roofing or change the landscaping plan to suit the project better. Its always helpful to iron out the lacunas in the beginning stage itself.

#2. Concept Presentation to Client via Photo-immersive 3D Renders.

As an architect, it instils a deep sense of confidence to the client when you present high quality, photo-immersive 3D renders even before the construction begins. Its a fabulous feeling to witness the first look of the project for potential buyers. Not only does this help you garner the project, but it also enables the client to actively participate into the design process, thus making the whole project smoothly executable. Your clients will love the entire process and positively collaborate on the detailing as well.

Once you have presented your design successfully, you still need plethora of tools to finalize the end-design, that is approved for construction. During this stage, clients can be picky and often want to try a few options before finalizing the design. Building on the conceptual designs, you can progressively elaborate the details in sync with the client needs. This assuages client concerns and portrays your professional expertise. You are sure to obtain referrals from your previous clients into their professional circles helping you develop sustainable business.

#4. Conveying the Exact Idea to Construction Team

How often have you witnessed your details being mismanaged in the actual construction process. Although not a part of standard construction documentation, 3D Renders and CGI portrays the exact details in a lifelike photo that can be readily understood across all construction agencies; be it contractor, painters, interior décor agencies and landscaping contractors. It presents a one vision that enables consistency in design vis-a-vis actual construction. The project contractors avoid costly rework, in-turn enabling smooth project delivery.
