In General:

1. How long does it take to complete a visualization project?

Ans: It would depend on several factors, depth of project, details..etc. A general rule of thumb is two weeks.

2. What do you need to begin work on the project?

Ans: With new clients, we generally ask for a deposit of 25% – 50% of the total project worth. The percentage required depends on the side of the project.

3. We have our own 3D models, can those be used in your renders?

Ans: Absolutely, often the models will have to be modified to work with a custom texture process, but using pre-exisiting models can lower overall project costs.

4. How do you handle plan or blueprint errors?

Ans: It depends, if the errors are small, then there is no extra charge. If an error reflects in work having to be redone then the quote will have to be adjusted to reflect that.

* Please note that we will make you aware of this, should it occur.

Pricing

1. Do you require a deposit?

Ans:  New clients pay a deposit of 25% – 50% of the total project worth. The percentage required depends on the project size.

2. How much do you charge for a 3D Render/ Visualization?

Ans: The project depends on a number of factors:

a) The amount of detail required.

b) The materials used.

c) The deadline time.

3. Will my quote price for my project increase?

Ans: Project pricing increases only under the following situations:

1. Plan errors. This is the most common cause of budget overcharges.

2. Scope changes – if the project scope changes after the project has started, this can cause additional costs.

* We always let the customer know before a budget overage occurs and the decision will be up to them to decide how to proceed.

The customer will always know what their final bill is.

4. How much do you charge for rush jobs?

Ans: Rush work is done at a rate of 1.5 of our normal rate.

3D Rendering

1. Why would I want traditional illustration and 3D computer rendered illustrations?

Ans: 3D computer generated projects have so many more advantages over traditional architectural illustrations.

Some of these advantages include:

A. multiple stills from various angles can be generated from the original work at a lower cost.

B. the models and images can be used to identify problems early in the design process to help minimize costly design errors mistakes in the future.

C. 3D computer rendering can be more accurate one of the great advantages of 3D visualization is that it can greatly aid in the design process and help to avoid any confusion amongst the project stakeholders.

2. Are the final images high enough resolution for print?

Ans: Absolutely. Final images are generated at print resolution and can be custom rendered to any size necessary.
