About this service

Summary

🎯 Why Choose Me? With a proven track record of client satisfaction and consistent 5-star feedback, I focus on delivering work that exceeds expectations. I’m dedicated to meeting deadlines, maintaining open communication, and ensuring your project is a success.

Process

Initial Consultation and Project Brief Objective: Understand the client’s vision, goals, and requirements. Actions:

Conduct virtual meetings (via Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) to discuss the project’s purpose (residential, commercial, etc.).

Gather key information such as site location, budget, space requirements, aesthetic preferences, and functionality needs.

Share and review design inspiration boards or examples using online tools like Pinterest or Miro.

Discuss the project timeline and specific features the client desires.

Site Analysis and Feasibility Study Objective: Assess the site and perform an initial feasibility study. Actions:

Use Google Earth, Google Maps, or satellite imagery to analyze the site’s context, surroundings, and topography.

Research local zoning laws, building codes, and regulations through online resources.

Request site-related documents from the client, such as survey plans, if available.

Create a preliminary site plan based on the gathered data and assess the project’s feasibility within the given parameters.

Conceptual Design and Sketches Objective: Develop initial design concepts. Actions:

Create rough sketches or digital mood boards using tools like Adobe Illustrator, Procreate, or Canva.

Explore different design ideas and layouts, focusing on functionality, flow, and spatial relationships based on the client’s brief.

Provide multiple design options for the client’s review and feedback.

Finalize the chosen concept and obtain client approval through a virtual presentation.

3D Modeling in Revit or SketchUp Objective: Create a 3D model of the building design. Actions:

Use Revit, SketchUp, or similar software to develop a detailed 3D model of the building based on the approved concept.

Include structural elements, interior spaces, and key features in the model.

Integrate the model with the site context using imported data or approximations from satellite imagery.

Conduct virtual walkthroughs with the client for feedback and make adjustments as necessary.

Structural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) Integration Objective: Finalize the building design with necessary technical details. Actions:

Add structural elements (columns, beams, foundations) in the model using Revit or other tools.

Incorporate MEP systems, ensuring the design accommodates HVAC, plumbing, and electrical layouts.

Collaborate remotely with consultants (engineers, contractors) via emails, shared drives, or online collaboration tools like BIM 360 or Asana.

Review and refine technical details to ensure construction feasibility.

Construction Documentation Objective: Prepare technical drawings and specifications for construction. Actions:

Generate detailed construction drawings from the 3D model, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and details.

Use tools like Revit or AutoCAD to annotate materials, finishes, and dimensions.

Provide schedules for finishes, windows, and doors, along with any other construction-related information.

Submit documents digitally to the client or relevant authorities for permits if required.

3D Rendering and Visualization Objective: Create realistic renderings of the building. Actions:

Use rendering software like Lumion, Twinmotion, or V-Ray to produce photorealistic renderings of both interior and exterior views.

Adjust lighting, materials, and textures to match the client’s aesthetic preferences.

Provide different perspectives such as exterior views, interior shots, and close-ups of key design elements.

Share renderings for client feedback and refine as needed.

Walkthrough Video Production Objective: Create an animated walkthrough of the building design. Actions:

Use Lumion, Twinmotion, or Enscape to produce an animated walkthrough video of the space.

Plan the video’s path, showcasing exterior views, key rooms, and design highlights.

Enhance the video with lighting effects, background music, and optional voice-over narration.

Share the final video with the client for presentation or approval purposes.

Final Review and Client Approval Objective: Ensure everything meets the client’s expectations before proceeding. Actions:

Present the renderings, walkthrough video, and construction documents via a virtual meeting.

Collect feedback on visuals, models, and technical documents.

Make final adjustments based on the client’s input.

Obtain written approval to move forward with the project.

Handover and Final Delivery Objective: Deliver all completed files and documentation. Actions:

Provide the client with final 3D models, construction documents, renderings, and walkthrough videos via shared cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox).

Offer guidance on interpreting the designs for the construction phase.

Discuss potential future services, such as construction administration or additional renderings.

Post-Completion Follow-Up Objective: Ensure the client is satisfied and provide ongoing support. Actions:

Check in with the client after delivery to address any questions or concerns.

Offer support during construction by answering queries or providing additional details if required.

Request feedback or reviews to improve your services and build a stronger portfolio.

FAQs

What types of projects do you specialize in
I specialize in a wide range of architectural design projects, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. My expertise lies in transforming 2D AutoCAD drawings, PDFs, or images into detailed 3D models using Revit and SketchUp. I also provide high-quality renderings and construction documentation tailored to your project’s needs. Whether you need architectural modeling, interior design concepts, or photorealistic renderings, I can help bring your vision to life.
How long will it take to complete a project?
The timeline for a project depends on the scope and complexity of the work. For simpler projects, such as converting a 2D AutoCAD drawing into a Revit model, it might take a few days to a week. Larger projects, including full 3D modeling and rendering, can take several weeks. I always provide an estimated timeline upfront and ensure that the project is completed on time, keeping you informed of any changes or adjustments needed.
Can you provide revisions during the project?
Absolutely! Client satisfaction is my priority, and I offer revisions throughout the project to ensure the design aligns with your expectations. I encourage open communication and feedback, allowing us to make adjustments to the 3D models, construction documentation, or renderings as needed.
Do you offer 3D walkthroughs or animations for presentations?
Yes! I can create 3D walkthroughs and animations to showcase your design in motion. These are perfect for presentations, allowing you to visualize the space and design elements from multiple angles. Whether it's a simple walkthrough or a more complex fly-through animation, I can deliver high-quality visualizations that effectively communicate your design vision.
How do you ensure the quality and accuracy of your 3D models?
I ensure the accuracy of my 3D models by following a structured approach that includes regular reviews and adjustments during the modeling process. I rely heavily on the BIM (Building Information Modeling) capabilities in Revit to maintain consistency and precision. Additionally, I ensure that all elements are accurately represented and that the final model aligns with your specifications and requirements. I regularly share progress updates and welcome client feedback throughout the process to ensure your satisfaction.
What software do you use for 3D modeling and rendering?
I use Revit for detailed architectural modeling, construction documentation, and BIM integration. For 3D modeling, I also use SketchUp for more conceptual designs and quick iterations. For rendering, I primarily use Lumion and Twinmotion, which help me create high-quality, photorealistic renderings and animations to present your design in the most professional way possible.
