3D rendering & visualization

Exterior architectural rendering

An exterior rendering shows the home before the foundation is poured: the siding, the rooflines, the windows and the light across the facade, true to your elevations. It is the image that wins the client, supports the application and sells the lot.

Exterior architectural rendering of a contemporary home with mixed cladding

Built from the elevations

We model each elevation from the drawings: window and door locations, head heights, overhangs, soffits and roof pitches. Where the plans and elevations do not match, we flag it and ask, so the rendering never shows something the framer cannot build.

Cladding that looks real

Lap siding, board and batten, stucco, brick, stone veneer and metal panels all catch light differently. We set the profile, exposure and colour from your schedule and show corner trims and transitions the way they will be installed.

Where exterior renderings are used

  • Client approvals before permit drawings are finished
  • Rezoning, minor variance and site plan applications
  • MLS and realtor.ca listings for new builds
  • Show-home signage and site hoarding
  • Builder and developer websites

Questions we are asked

Can you show two colour packages?

Yes. Once the model is built, a second colour package or siding option costs less than the first rendering, because only the materials change.

Can you show the home in winter?

Yes. Snow, bare trees and early-evening light are a popular choice for Canadian campaigns, alongside a summer version.
