3D Architecture Models Made Easy

Building models by hand is a painful process and we all know it's tough to cut a straight line with an Exacto knife at 4:00 AM.

But smart design can get trapped in a blueprint.

There is no substitute for a scale architecture model when it comes to communicating with clients or approval boards.

The Missing Link...
Over a matter of days we provide the missing link between your design concept on the computer and a physical model your client can touch.

Everyone Loves Google Sketchup and Google Earth.
We love SketchUp. It's free. And it's easy to quickly build 3D models of different complexity. Using resources like Google's 3D Warehouse, entire cities can be downloaded for free and built to scale. (Check out Jacksonville, Florida downloaded from 3D Warehouse and built to scale.)

Of course, we can also work with just about any CAD package on the market as well. If you're interested in learning more about the different digital options see our FAQ section for answers on CAD Questions.

If You Can Design It, We Can Build It
A nice feature is being able to remove different sections of a model during a presentation and show the floor layout. This makes blueprints start to come alive and people ask better questions.

Since anything designed on a computer can be built, a model can be sliced in a whatever direction you like and built to show important or confusing design features.

The Entire Solution
Quality can range from full-color showroom presentation models to quick, affordable massing models for exploring site relationships. 

Explore conceptual ideas for new developments or move the germ of an idea through refinement more quickly.  Preliminary models can also be used as a launching point of discussion and tweaked over time.

Tools For Marketing Your Firm
Have you designed a great project? Consider building small massing models and setting them up in your conference room for your next pitch. Or scale your design down to a few inches, print it out with your logo and web address in 3D, and send the models to potential leads or former clients. Now that's a business card that people will actually hold onto...and who knows what kind of conversation it could spark.
