Ever since 3D renderings hit the scene, they have been transforming architectural projects into masterpieces with their eye-catching realism. 3D renderings will help you seal the deal on your project more quickly and will showcase the designer’s expertise, whether a 3D agency takes credit for the design or the magic was all yours. But everything has its price. 3D architectural renderings are expensive but well worth the price.

Architects sink a lot of time and energy into creating realistic 3D architectural renderings. Paying for all of that time and energy can really add up. That is why a lot of architects and interior designers are turning away from creating 3D visualizations.

If architects and interior designers want to continue selling 3D renderings to their customers without using up all of their time and energy, they can hire a 3D agency. But is that actually cost-effective? Most architects will think that only they can accurately execute their ideas and that by doing it themselves, they don’t have to worry about the quality of the final product or incurring any extra costs.

However, most architects and interior designers haven’t thought of everything. Do you know how much licensed 3D modelling software like ArchiCAD costs? And what about all of the time it takes to learn how to use these types of software? 3D architectural rendering software is expensive and takes weeks to learn.

Are you prepared to drop everything and invest all of your time, money and energy into designing your own 3D renderings? Or, would you rather leave all of that up to a 3D agency who can outperform the competition and bring added value to your offering?

Even though 3D architectural renderings are expensive, they can be a great long-term investment for your business. The pros of working with a 3D agency:

• A 3D agency is made up of trained professionals.

Even though the 3D agency may not be able to express your ideas in the exact same way that you would, they won’t be too far off. With relevant training and several years of experience, 3D agencies can understand your needs and accurately incorporate them into a 3D rendering. You can easily toss around ideas and design approaches with them and let them know if any changes have to be made.

• 3D agencies offer trial periods.

Without seeing any of their work, it can be hard for an architect to put all of their trust in a 3D agency. Some agencies offer a trial period if you want to test the waters and see the quality of their work before jumping in headfirst. You can get a feel for the quality of their work without having to sign a contract. Then it’s up to you if you want to partner with the agency or avoid their services altogether.

Do you still think that creating your own 3D architectural renderings is the best option? Are you ready to dedicate your time to buying the software, learning how to use it and then creating your own 3D renderings, all while squeezing in the same amount of time you usually spend on your current customers and looking for new contracts? Although 3D architectural renderings come with a high price tag when they are created by a 3D agency, it is certainly not worth the cost of the precious time you could be spending with your customers and signing new contracts. A 3D agency can also provide you with professional, qualitative work that will blow the competition out of the water.
