Home remodeling may be nothing new to the seasoned homeowner, but 3D design certainly is.
Design contractors still use 2D blueprints to visually represent a client’s remodel request, but more and more of them are seeing the appeal of 3D design software.
If you’re planning a room renovation or a whole home remodel, we highly recommend you choose a 3D design build firm for your project. Here are some reasons why:
ELIMINATE DESIGN DECISION YOU WILL LATER REGRET
In home remodeling, using 3D design software to build a scaled model of the final product can speed up the approval stage. A 3D model can clearly represent the proposed remodel better than even the most detailed blueprint by accurately translating 2D measurements into physical, true-to-life dimensions, angles, and placements.
ACCURATE SPATIAL PLANNING/ ACCOMMODATION
A physical model of the remodel proposal means clients can actually see the space they’ll end up having to work with. This true-to-life representation makes it easier for them to accurately divide the space and prepare accommodation plans that will translate almost seamlessly into the actual remodel—with very little risk of error.
IMPROVED COMMUNICATION
Not everyone gets written dimensions, measurements, and degrees. While it’s easy for an engineer or architect to visualize what it means when someone says the cabinet is “30 degrees parallel to the corner,” or that kitchen island “runs perpendicular to the counter for about 2 feet,” the average layman or homeowner might have too much trouble with the lingo to clearly picture what is being described. However, everyone understands 3D. It’s physical, visual, and highly interactive, making it the perfect platform to initiate seamless communication between all parties involved in the remodel process.
