Studio2a (a Chicago based 3D architectural rendering firm) was recently recognized as a one of the most experienced leaders in creating affordable real estate renderings.
Creating either a still rendering or movie animation of your proposed site has been an expensive endeavor. By employing a model based design workflow, Studio2a combines architectural-based 3D rendering design tools with video game technology to create 3d renderings that cost a fraction of what they were a few years ago.
The trick to getting affordable renderings is to hire design consultants that are familiar with architectural design. When creating construction and permitting plans for a land development project, Studio2a creates detailed 3D grading models that are a composite of existing topography and proposed design. This aids in the expedient production of construction drawings but also allows for a quick and cheap transition into the creation of site renderings.
For those clients that desire architectural renderings, we encourage them to build a consultant team upfront that employs 3d BIM design. Your ideal project team should consists of:
- Land Planners – CADD layouts, parking, ADA routes, building footprints
- Surveyors – TINs, Point Cloud scanning, tree survey
- Architect – Revit building models
- Landscape Architects – Sketchup models, 3D plant placement
- Civil Engineer – Detailed Design surface, bring it all together
Studio2a works with the design team to create a full 3d model of the project. From this model, we provide the client with photorealistic 3d renderings of the site allowing site lines to be evaluated in the context of the proposed grades prior to commencing construction.
3d animations of the model assist with investing activities, permit review and stakeholder communications. Additionally, these videos assist with securing the first tenants of the proposed sites. In the past only large projects had the budget for visualization. Studio2a has cracked the code allowing us to create compelling real estate renderings on time and on budget.
