Every residential or commercial builder has been there. You’re building a huge property, but the timeline just isn’t as long as you’d like. The deadline is quickly approaching, and you need your renderings to come back ASAP. You’re in luck. Not only is PixelPerfect Studios experienced in providing beautiful and accurate renderings, but we’re also 100% dedicated to ensuring you meet your deadlines. That’s why we’ve compiled this Ultimate Cheat Sheet to Quick Turnaround. Keep these 5 tips in mind for those quickly approaching deadlines and you’ll have your renderings back in no time.
1. REACH OUT AS SOON AS YOU THINK YOU MIGHT NEED RENDERINGS
Even if your plans aren’t 100% completed, reach out to us as soon as possible and let us know that you’ll be starting a project that might need renderings. The sooner we know about your project, the sooner we can evaluate whether we have the time and manpower to complete it. Give us as much information as you have about the project and we’ll do our best to give you an accurate quote based on that information.
2. KNOW YOUR DEADLINE
Plan your deadlines accordingly. If you know you want to make large-scale prints or create a micro-site for the final renderings, make sure you consider how long that process will take and factor that into the deadline you give us to complete the renderings. Knowing your deadline helps us plan ahead and make sure we have the time to 3D model your space, send preliminary versions for approval and schedule enough time for your property to render out—a digital process that can take anywhere from a few hours to a full weekend depending on the size of the property.
3. FINALIZE YOUR PLANS AND GET YOUR FILES IN ORDER
The more changes made throughout the process, the longer the process takes. A crucial step to getting your renderings back in lightning speed is to make sure your plans are finalized and all of the relevant documents are ready to be sent before we start the rendering process. However, we understand things don’t always go as planned when building a home or apartment. If your designs change, don’t be afraid to let us know. We’re always open to accommodating changes throughout the rendering process – just remember it might tack on a little extra time.
4. GIVE US EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT
Floor plans, elevations, lighting plans, 3D files, contact information, etc. Any relevant files you have should be uploaded to our Hightail site as soon as possible. To ensure your renderings are not only completed quickly but also completed accurately we need as much information about the property as possible. Floor plans, elevations, and lighting plans help us make sure that our renderings look exactly like your property while 3D files can drastically cut down cost and time. Make sure you also include contact information so we can reach you if we have any questions.
5. COMMUNICATE
Communication is key to keeping the project moving and on track from start to finish. If our team has questions about your floor plans or needs the approval of the preliminary grey scales, the project can be on a temporary standstill until we hear back from you. The same goes for your team. If you have questions or changes you’d like to see, please feel free to reach out to us. When it comes to renderings, communication is essential for quick turnaround and accuracy. Make sure you provide the correct contact information so our team can reach you to ask questions and send preliminaries.
Quick turnaround is important, especially when your time frame is tight, to begin with. Following these tips will help you get your renderings back as quickly as possible.
