Clients Can Familiarize Themselves with the Designers
There is no better way for designers to showcase their work and experience than through architectural visualization. Your clients can see your skills in action and make sure you can offer them what they need.
But the benefits don’t end with clients, as showcasing your work through 3D renderings allows you to promote yourself online by sharing your portfolio on your website, social media, or anywhere else. This will allow you to reach and impress a wider audience and get more clients.
Architectural Visualization Improves the Understanding Between You and Your Clients
Architectural visualization allows you and your clients to communicate your ideas clearly and easily. It enables architects and designers to collaborate and communicate more effectively. 2D designs can be difficult to read and usually require further explanation. If you work with foreign clients, this creates many problems, only one of which is the language barrier. On the other hand, 3D renderings allow a clear understanding of what is happening.
Through architectural visualization, you can create a comprehensive simulation of the product as it would look in the real world. You and your clients would have a much better understanding of the entire project, and it’s easier to make sure everyone is on the same page, no matter how simple or complex the ideas are. This creates higher customer satisfaction and everyone can feel comfortable expressing their needs and opinions.
Speeds Up the Initial Stages of the Project
A clear 3D rendering of the final result makes the initial construction phase of the project smoother. First, it will speed up the government approval process. You’d be surprised how many projects have been turned down because of the “uncertainty” that comes with them. Your realistic 3D rendering will eliminate this and allow your clients to get approved faster. While some changes need to be made, you don’t have to start from scratch. The entire development process is much smoother and more efficient.
Secondly, 3D renderings make it less likely that your clients will change their minds and request changes once the project is in development. 3D rendering increases productivity because it requires less rework and everyone has a very clear idea of what the end result should be.
Cost-Efficiency
In recent years, the cost of the technology used for 3D rendering has come down significantly. Since this technology is now readily available to most people, it is a cost-effective solution for you and your clients.
Just a few years ago, everything had to be created by hand, you had to make sure every measurement was correct and pay attention to a lot of details. This required you to invest a lot of time and energy in creating the project and increased costs for everyone involved. With 3D modeling software available, you can bring your idea to life quickly and easily, no matter if it’s a large or small project. Your client can fully understand your idea because everything is very presentable and easy to understand.
You Can Catch and Solve Problems Before They Arise
Whenever minor or major changes are made to the design, it can impact the entire project. This can cause technical problems, architectural problems, unattractive design, etc. Architectural visualization can show potential problems before the construction phase begins, saving time and money and making the project a breeze.
When everyone involved in a project can know exactly what the result will be, it is easier for them to work together and find a solution quickly. If there is a sound wall blocking an important landmark or marker, you will notice it before construction begins. If the preferred materials look bad, you will know in advance. Your client can easily change his mind about color or anything else that seems inappropriate and make the whole design perfect before committing to its construction.
Precision
As you work on your 3D rendering, you will constantly receive feedback and calculations from the computer to tell you whether your measurements and solutions are accurate or not. There is no room for error in the calculation because you can immediately notice the error and correct it.
With 3D-rendered architectural visualization, you can see the physical dimensions of objects and get a complete picture of the complete layout. You can take into account terrain, surrounding buildings and objects, streets, room sizes and much more. This can be very helpful for your clients as they can easily make changes where necessary. 3D renderings allow coordination of fire protection systems, electrical and mechanical systems, plumbing, etc. All in all, the accuracy and precision of 3D renders is what makes them attractive and desirable to your clients.
Presentable Project with the Use of AR and VR
You no longer need to present your proposal on a piece of paper or a computer screen, that’s a thing of the past. Virtual reality allows your clients to experience your design firsthand. It serves to replicate the real world and shows the project exactly as it will look when completed.
Your client will have the opportunity to view the entire project, enter every room and inspect every corner. If needed, you can take a helicopter look at the building and allow your clients to take it all in. You can tour the building if you want. Your options are endless. Augmented reality allows your design to be seen in the real world. You can visit the location with your client and use your smartphone to show everyone how it will look. Walk around and see the building come to life.
Benefits of Time-Lapse Videos
The most typical architectural video is a time-lapse video. With your 3D render, you can create a timeline of the entire project, from start to finish, allowing viewers to understand every step that needs to be taken.
You can include traffic frequency, environmental impacts, and atmospheric effects, allowing your client to understand the location of their building as a whole. This can have a major impact on the choice of location, the materials used, and the overall design. Time-lapse videos allow viewers to anticipate potential problems and come up with solutions in advance, saving time and money.
3D Renders Can Be Used as a Marketing Tool
Not only can you use your designs to promote yourself, but your client can also use them as a marketing tool. All the new technologies that have been developed for 3D rendering allow clients to easily sell and present their projects around the world. For example, if your client is building an apartment building, they can use your 3D rendering to show potential buyers how everything will look when it’s finished. Just as you can take your clients on a tour of your design through VR, your client can do the same for their customers. If you work with a 5-star hotel owner, you can help them create an interactive view of all their rooms and facilities, allowing your client to attract more guests.
Architectural visualization through 3D renderings makes everything run smoothly and efficiently and expands your client base. You can easily showcase your talent and use your work for worldwide promotion. Your clients will be impressed and know that you are there to help their projects become a reality. 3D renderings are becoming the standard in the industry, and you need to jump on board if you want to stay competitive.
