Architectural Rendering Services That Look And Feel Real

3D renders can take a few days to just over a week. Some more complex projects may take longer. Let us know if there is a deadline for your project so we can do our best to fit your schedule.
Pro Tip:

• Please leave extra time for your project to ensure you can utilize our revisions.
• Make any deadlines you have known upfront.

RealSpace offers high-quality architectural renderings at an excellent value. Our customers typically range from custom home builders and realtors to mid-sized developers and even some Fortune 500 companies.

The industry-wide cost of 3D renders can range from $150 per image to $15,000+.

RealSpace does not go after the cheapest price point. We find our customers would prefer to invest in a higher-quality architectural visualization at a reasonable rate with professional service. We are very respectful of our customers’ time.

On the other hand, we are also not a high-end boutique studio. We offer a big jump in quality from basic architectural renders without charging exuberant amounts of money. Often, the difference in quality between one of our mid-priced renders and one of the much pricier companies is negligible.

We’ve created a comprehensive guide to explain 3d rendering pricing, including an interactive pricing calculator. Additionally, we’re always available to provide you with a free quote. Fill out one of our contact forms with some information about your upcoming project, and we will get back to you ASAP.

Generally, a set of architectural plans or engineering files is an excellent place to start. These files allow us to provide you with a quote, and it begins the conversation to find out what your goals and expectations for this project are.

Short answer:
No

Long answer:
Architectural plans are ideal but not required. We can work off sketches/drawings or reference photos with some basic dimensions. However, without CAD plans, we cannot be as accurate. With architectural rendering, there is no guarantee of total accuracy. However, when we have plans, we import them into the software we use and can match the plans as precisely as possible.

Better than reality
It can be tricky to get good photos. The best lighting is at sunrise or sunset. In most cases, you need to hire a professional photographer, which can be costly. With 3D images you always get
Good lighting

• Good weather
• Green grass
• Perfect camera angles
• Fully grown, beautiful landscaping
• Top-of-the-line furniture staging the interior shots
• Revisions and refining are part of the process

Offer options
Creating multiple versions of the same image with different finishes and colours is usually very cost-effective.

Start selling sooner
With 3D rendering, you can start selling once the design is complete. This can be a huge cash flow benefit.

Market onsite
You can print your renderings on signage at the property and generate some interest in the project. Onsite signage is generally inexpensive, and if you are not ready to sell, you can collect an email/phone list of interested people.

Regulatory board approval
Development applications can be tricky. However, architectural renderings can convince neighbours and regulatory boards that your project will be an excellent addition to the community. Neighbours may see the project as something that will increase their property value instead of construction and noise.

Camera angle
If you can provide us with an example of a photo or rendering that you like, in most cases, we can match it. Alternatively, if you make a markup of a camera angle on the architectural plans, we can base the renderings off of that.

Time of day and lighting
If you let us know in advance, we can usually match time-of-day lighting and interior and/or exterior lighting.

Landscape architecture
We have an extensive library of vegetation and can match most regions’ vegetation so that it is accurate to landscaping plans.

Furnishings and fixtures
At no extra cost, we can match most interior design styles. However, if you have custom furnishings and fixtures, we can custom create anything needed.

1. Include as much as possible in your plans.
2. Provide manufacturer specs and/or reference images.
3. Collect as much feedback as you can for each draft to make the most of your revisions.
4. Leave enough time. Although we are happy to accommodate tight timelines, it is our experience that projects that are not rushed will produce the best results.

We are happy to work off client-provided 3D models.

Format-wise, we can work with all the major software applications:

• SketchUp
• Revit
• SolidWorks
• 3D Studio Max
• Maya
• Blender
• And more

We do not provide a discount when the client supplies a 3D model unless it is a high-quality scene from 3D Studio Max or Maya. Generally, SketchUp, Revit, SolidWorks, and other 3D CAD software will need remodeling. However, we can use the provided model as a reference to build a more detailed model, which enables us to ensure we capture everything from your original model plus more.
