Cost drivers
Source quality matters as well. A clean 3D model or well-dimensioned drawings from SketchUp, Revit, Rhino or CAD keep both cost and schedule down.
Planning your set
Typical ranges of views by project type. Use them to plan a budget with the starting prices above.
| Project type | Typical views | What they usually cover |
|---|---|---|
| Single house | 2 to 4 views | Usually the front exterior, a rear or garden view, and one or two key interiors. |
| Multi-family | 4 to 10 views | Street-facing elevations, amenity spaces, a typical unit interior and often an aerial. |
| Commercial | 3 to 8 views | Main entrance and street presence, lobby, and the spaces that sell the building. |
| Interiors only | 1 view per room that matters | Kitchens, living areas and show suites are the usual priorities. |
Every project is different. Tell us the project and the audience, and we will suggest the views that earn their place.
Your options
A qualitative comparison. The right answer depends on your volume and how closely images must match your drawings.
| Option | Strengths | Trade-offs | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-house team | Full control and fast informal feedback. | Fixed salaries, software and hardware costs whether or not there is work, and capacity limits at deadline time. | A steady, high volume of visualization every month. |
| Outsourcing to a studio | Pay per deliverable, scale up or down by project, and draw on a full production team. | Needs a clear brief and a few review rounds; quality varies, so judge a studio on a test image. | Project-based or uneven demand, and work that must match your design exactly. |
| AI image tools | Quick, low-cost mood and concept exploration. | Geometry, materials and dimensions can drift from your drawings, and results are hard to revise precisely. | Early ideas, not drawings-accurate marketing or approval images. |
Questions
Exterior and interior renders start from $199 per image. 3D floor plans start from $149, photomontage from $399, architectural animation from $1,500 and VR from $3,000. The final figure depends on complexity, the number of views and the revisions you need, and you get a written quote before work starts.
The starting price covers one view built from your drawings or 3D model, lighting and materials, high-resolution output and 2 revision rounds. Larger scenes, extra views, custom modelling and additional revision rounds are quoted on top.
Scene size and complexity, how many views you need, how much has to be modelled from scratch, heavy landscaping or entourage, aerial or masterplan angles, extra revision rounds and a compressed schedule. Clean, detailed source files keep cost down.
Yes. Architects can order a single test image for $99 and judge the work before starting a larger project. The details are on the architects page.
Stills are priced per image, and floor plans per plan. Animation and VR are priced per project. If you need several views of the same scene, mention it in your brief and we price the set as a whole.
