How 3D Rendering Changes Architecture Business

CGI has streamlined design development and construction workflow and revolutionized architectural marketing. These are the four main business aspects that an architect can improve using 3D rendering.

Icon about client meetings and architectural project presentations using 3D rendering

Project Presentations

Architectural rendering can provide the exact right tools for conveying one’s vision, showing the project’s progress, and checking with the client if they like everything at every stage.

Icon about faster building permit approval using photorealistic 3D visualization

Design Review Presentations

Photorealistic 3D rendering shows how the building will fit the future surroundings. Such clarity helps architects present projects clearly at design reviews and public hearings.

Real Estate Marketing

Static, animated, and interactive CGI help attract buyers and renters before the building is ready for use. CGI will get the project noticed on listings, social media, and other marketing channels.

I hired ArchiCGI for a very important Residential Project, with a ridiculous(Musk) timeline. I provided CADD drawings and a few material visuals for exterior, and they provided the Artistry in Ludicrous Mode. Great group, they have all my future work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D rendering in architecture?

Architectural rendering is the creation of computer-generated imagery that shows a building concept or design in its future environment. The imagery can be static, animated or interactive.

How much does 3D architectural rendering cost?

The cost of a 3D visualization depends on the type of visual, urgency, complexity of building and environment 3D modeling, number of views, and resolution. This is why it is always best to contact a manager first and request project estimation. If you are looking for examples of our works with prices, please check out our Price List here: https://archicgi.com/lm-pricelist/.

If I have a Revit or Sketchup model, will it help decrease the price?

Yes, it can help. The exact answer depends on the quality of your 3D model. If it only needs some adjustments, the price will be reduced significantly. If the model should be rebuilt from scratch, the cost will not change much. However, such a 3D model will serve as a great reference and help 3D artists deliver accurate results faster. In any case, it's always a good idea to send the 3D team all the materials you have. For the exact price estimation of your project, please contact our manager.

What is the difference between Revit/Sketchup render and 3D render?

Revit, ArchiCAD or SketchUp can produce a render straight from the design model. Such images are accurate and useful during design development, but they usually need extra work to look photorealistic: lighting, materials, surroundings and post-production. A render from a visualization studio starts from the same model or drawings and is built for presentation and marketing: photorealistic materials, staged lighting, context and atmosphere. Both are 3D renders; the difference is the purpose and the level of finish.
