Exterior Architectural Renderings: August 2018

Latham House Rendering

Often, I get emails, calls, or web chats about my pricing. The question usually looks like this, "what do you charge for an exterior rendering?" or "what do you charge for a kitchen rendering?" My reply is always the same, which is, "Each project is unique and I quote based on the size and complexity of your project, so I do not give generic pricing". A lot of the time I don't get a reply and sometimes people get a little hostile. Since the internet makes the world small, I believe many of these inquiries are from people wanting to break into the industry and they want to know what I charge. If you see the standard pricing menu I would stop and think, will I get what I pay for and the answer will be, yes!

The Latham House rendering is a manufactured home with less than a 1000 sq floor plan. The house sits between a garage and a shed. I am sharing this because, there is no average project. From 1000 SF houses to 40,0000 SF houses, I do them all. Also, some of my smaller houses have more detail than some of my larger houses, so size isn't necessarily an indicator of cost.

63 Ponds Architectural Renderings

Here is a beautiful home in upper state New York. It is always a pleasure to work with this client, although sometime interesting. I usually get a vague texts, the architect steps in and out of the process, and the owner usually calls in a panic, needed something within an hour when I haven't heard from him in weeks. Hey, it keeps me on my toes.

Main Street Minnesota Rendering

Over the past couple of decades, I have created architectural renderings for projects around the globe, on every continent and virtually every US state, however, only a handful for the state I currently reside in. Main Street Minnesota rendering was for a Twin City Minnesota Architect.

Often, I get emails or phone calls about rush projects and usually, I'll pass. There is usually a reason a project is rushed and it is due to poor planning, which usually extends to the architectural rendering. The Main Street Minnesota rendering was a rush project, I asked my pertinent questions, and I chose to take the project. All went well and the project was delivered on time.

Wedding Venue Rendering

Another fun one that I wanted to share. My objective was to take a pretty basic building and make it romantic. From the white flowered plants, to the flowery ground cover, I thing I accomplished my objective. Do you agree?

This was a great project that I think turned out well. I am always impressed when the business owners reach out to me. From architects and designers to business owners and homeowners.

What is happening is, like most businesses, architects and designers find a way to create revenue. With most design software today, the architectural rendering is a by-product of the design drawings. So, it becomes something that the architects and designers can charge for, however, the quality, for the most part, isn't' really good. When the owner requests an architectural rendering, so they can do their marketing after the design is done, they find that the renderings will not suffice and that's where I come in.

Having said that, I see another change happening. The architects and designers are starting to approach me again because they are finding out that they can't compete with their renderings if they do them in-house. Like anything, it takes a lot to get really good at something and to get a good rendering you need someone, like me, who specializes in it.
