Architectural rendering built around the design process
Architects need renders at several stages and for different reasons. Early on, quick images help test options and convince a client. At planning stage, images must represent the proposal honestly. For competitions and awards, they must stand out. We adjust the effort and style to each stage instead of pricing every image as a hero shot.
Because we work from your Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp or Rhino model, the renders stay accurate to the design – and updates are fast when the design changes. We keep the scene linked to your model so a revised façade or a new window layout can be re-rendered without starting again.
For hero marketing images, see photorealistic rendering; for animations and VR, 3D architectural visualization.

Architectural Rendering Services standards in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia
We set up every project on the standard of the country where it will be built or manufactured. These are the references we work to most often:
| Country | Standards and codes we draft architectural rendering services to |
|---|---|
| USA | Marketing and MLS listing rules for disclaimers on CGI images; ADA-compliant design shown where the design includes it |
| UK | ASA advertising rules for CGIs in property marketing; Landscape Institute TGN 06/19 for verified views (AVR) in planning |
| Canada | Provincial real estate advertising rules (e.g. RECO in Ontario) on artist's impressions |
| Australia | Australian Consumer Law on off-the-plan marketing images; state planning photomontage requirements |
How our architectural rendering services process works
- 1Send your files
Upload sketches, PDFs, markups, photos, scans or a model through the quote form. Tell us the standard (US, UK, Canada or Australia) and the deadline.
- 2Fixed quote in hours
We review the scope and reply with a fixed price, the deliverables list and a delivery date. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 3Drafting & modeling
Your project is drawn in AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks or the software you use, on your title block, layers and templates.
- 4QA check
A second drafter checks dimensions, annotations, layer standards, sheet numbering and cross-references against your input before anything is sent.
- 5Delivery & revisions
You receive native files plus PDFs. Comments come back as markups and we revise them quickly until the set matches the brief.
Turnaround and pricing
Design-review images from a ready model are often delivered in 1–2 business days; final presentation images in 3–5 days. Every job is priced as a fixed quote after we review your files, so you know the cost and the delivery date before work starts. See how our pricing works, or send your files through the quote form for a quick estimate.
