Scope

What the commission can include

The scope may include individual rooms, building exteriors, amenities or a wider development, with selected views prepared for design discussion, project presentations and marketing material. Camera positions, output sizes and the level of detail are agreed before production, since these choices determine which parts of the proposal need to be represented.

Project information

Preparing the brief

A useful brief includes the latest drawings or model, material specifications, landscape information and references for the intended lighting. Information that remains provisional should be identified at the outset so that a visual assumption is not mistaken for an approved design decision.

Review

Reviewing the work before delivery

Review should progress from geometry and camera position to materials, lighting and final output. Consolidating comments through an agreed reviewer helps the team distinguish corrections from changes to the underlying proposal and assess their effect on the programme.

Cost and timing

What determines the production requirement

Scope and delivery time depend on the number of views, the condition of the source information, the complexity of modelling and the revision requirements. A quotation should therefore follow a review of the available material rather than a comparison based only on the price of an image.

Interpreting the presentation

A visualisation represents the information and assumptions used to prepare it; it should be read alongside the relevant drawings and specifications when assessing the proposed development.
