As I am sure you are aware, the custom home-building niche is always evolving. Builders, designers, and residential project managers are always adding new tools to their chest in terms of being able to present the client with more and better options. It would not be exaggerating to say that 3D image virtual walkthroughs are one of the most significant technological breakthroughs we have seen over the past few decades.
Why is 3D image virtual walkthrough technology so important?
Fewer Design Revisions – before this programming was created, for the most part, clients relied on blueprints and models that hardly offered the experience of a 3D walkthrough. Homeowners can now see every design aspect and intricate feature of the home, which enables real-time changes before the final design of the home is produced for the builders.
Better Resource Management – one of the great features of this programming is that it can also give a very accurate estimate of the materials that will be needed. This obviously helps eliminate large material over-ordering or worse, under-ordering of materials. When under-orders occur, there are times when those specific products are no longer available, which can be a complete disaster when you are talking about things like tiling and accent features.
Detecting Design Flaws – another great benefit of this programming is that the designers and builders are able to see any possible design flaws and challenges that may arise during the construction. Only now, they are seeing them before the ground is broken, able to make the necessary design adjustments rather than dropping a bombshell on you during the build that would result in tens of thousands of dollars in additional costs.
Keeping the Project on Time – When projects exceed the allotted time, the extra bills start adding up. Labor can crush the projected budget when this happens, digging deep into your emergency budget. Your contractors will be able to anticipate bottlenecks that may occur during the build, and plan for them appropriately so they do not impact the build.
Better Communication – When you are doing a custom build, especially during the design process, changes can sometimes feel like they take forever. 3D imaging programming now enables changes to be made immediately after the input is given, then the homeowner can check them again to see if they approve or disapprove of the changes. This can literally take months off the pre-build time during the design process.
These are just five of the benefits of using 3D virtual image walkthrough programming, with Better Build Now offers to its clients.
