When you start down the path of having a custom-built home, it begins with finding the right architect and designer who can help make your vision come true. Designers have programs to help lay out their schemes, and now architects have them as well. The emergence of 3D imaging has been a game changer for the custom home building industry, especially regarding the client-architect relationship.
Visualization
In the past, architects had to rely on 2D visuals and models to show their clients how their custom-built homes would look. The new 3D imaging programming we are seeing today allows the architect to show the client the design with a virtual home walkthrough. This is a far better way for the homeowner to see if the home’s design and aesthetics are what they had hoped.
Immediate Refinement and Feedback
For me, one of the best features of 3D imaging is that the homeowner can make changes and see them take place in real time. They can offer their immediate feedback to dial in the architectural design and this can be done before ground is ever broken on the home. Imagine the money that can saved by making changes this way rather than doing a walkthrough after construction has started and realizing you don’t like the way something looks. This alone can keep your project on budget.
Cost-effective Decision Making
Making final decisions on finishes and certain features can be taxing for some people. Using 3D imaging for this allows you to see your different options in play, as well as how they work together. You can dial in specific features such as countertops, flooring, and lighting before construction rather than waiting until the finishing stages.
More Efficient
We have discussed this here on multiple occasions because a lack of efficiency will often result in higher costs for the home’s construction. There are far fewer unwanted surprises and “regrets” over certain features that may have been made after construction started. The small fee associated with 3D imaging will undoubtedly pay for itself by preventing expensive modification from taking place after construction has begun.
