No color
A 3D model
Where does everything go?
Where the island lands, how the cabinets meet a window, whether a wall comes out. Leaving color out keeps the conversation on the layout, which is the part that is expensive to change later.

3D rendering for home plans
We model the house, render it in the finishes you picked, and because we also build, we can tell which of those pictures will actually get built for what it costs. Send us plans or measurements from wherever the house is.
Built 
Rendered One house, three stages
The model, the rendering, then the house.
“Model” and “rendering” get used as if they meant the same thing. They are two different steps, shown here on a Tanglewood house our team designed and built.
Compare the rendering with the finished house.
01 The 3D model No color yet. It settles the shape of the house: the rooflines, the porch, where the garage sits. Moving a wall at this stage is a quick edit, not a costly change order. Then color goes on, below ↓
Rendered 
Built 02 The 3D rendering Color, once the selections are made: the roof, the siding, the brick, the doors. This is the picture you say yes to.
03 The house Built by our crews, and it looks like its rendering. A few details moved on the way; the brick, for one, was painted rather than left natural.
Start with your plans
Plans, measurements or a sketch. We will tell you whether it needs a model, a rendering or both.
Model, rendering, or both
A 3D model shows the layout. A rendering shows the finishes.
Model first, render second. Rendering a room whose layout is still moving means rendering it twice.
Color
A 3D rendering
What will it look like?
Tile, paint, cabinet color and fixtures, set in the room at the right scale and seen together. It is the last look before anything gets ordered.
Who asks for a rendering
Renderings for anyone who has to approve a house before it is built.
The person paying, the person building and the person deciding whether it is worth doing all have the same problem: a decision about a house that is not there yet.
Homeowners
You are about to approve a kitchen from a floor plan and a tile sample. A rendering shows you the room those two things make before you sign for it.
Builders
Your client cannot read a plan set. If they approve a drawing they did not understand, it often turns into a change order later. A rendering shows them what they are approving.
Investors
You are deciding whether a project is worth doing before you spend on it. A model and a rendering let you judge the finished product while it is still cheap to walk away.
What to send us
Four things, from wherever you are.
Nobody from our team needs to stand in the house. If something on the list is missing, we will tell you what it is.
Rendering is priced by the project, like the rest of our design and drafting work. The drawing-set pricing and what moves it are laid out on our residential drafting page.
-
Plans, or measurements
An existing set if there is one. If there is not, measurements taken by you or by someone you hire near the house. Either is a place to start.
-
Photographs
Of the rooms that are changing, or of the lot if nothing is standing yet. They carry the light and the view, which a tape measure never records.
-
Your selections, or a direction
The tile, paint and fixtures you have picked. If you have not picked, a few photographs of rooms you like tell us which way to go.
-
The question it has to answer
Deciding on a layout, choosing between two finishes, or showing a client. Knowing which tells us which views to draw.

Common questions
Questions about 3D rendering services
What is the difference between a 3D model and a 3D rendering?
A model is the house built in three dimensions without color: walls, roof, openings and cabinetry at the right size. A rendering is that same model with the selections applied, so you see materials, colors and fixtures together. You settle the layout on the model and the finishes on the rendering, in that order.
What do your renderings look like?
Like the ones on this page: clean, textured and drawn to scale, with the actual materials and colors on the actual model. Scroll up to see one next to the house it became.
What do I need to send you for a 3D rendering?
Plans if they exist, measurements if they do not, photographs of the rooms or the lot, and whatever selections you have made. Nobody from our team comes out to measure a house outside our area, so the numbers come from you or from someone you hire near the property.
Can you do 3D home rendering for a house outside Texas?
Yes. A model is built from drawings and measurements, so the house can be anywhere in the country. What changes with distance is only who takes the measurements.
How much does a 3D rendering cost?
It depends on the project: how much of the house is being modeled, whether usable drawings exist yet or have to be drawn first, and how many rooms need their finishes worked out. You get the number before any modeling starts.
How long does a rendering take?
It depends on the size of the project and on how quickly the selections get made. Tell us your deadline up front and we will tell you whether it is realistic.
What happens if I change my mind after I see the rendering?
That is what it is for. Swapping a tile or a paint color means re-rendering the view. Moving a wall means going back to the model and the drawings behind it, which is the reason the model comes first.
Can the same model become construction drawings?
Yes. Our drafting team draws the permit-ready set from the same design. In and around Fort Worth our crews can build it; anywhere else, the set goes to your builder. Tell us up front which city the set is going to, because submittal requirements are the first thing we need to know.
Do you render for builders and investors, or only homeowners?
All three. We draw for builders and investors as well as homeowners, and the renderings come from the same team that draws the plans.
Will the finished house look exactly like the rendering?
The design will. Details can still change between the rendering and the finished room, and the rendering is how you see those choices early enough to make them on purpose. In the bath at the top of this page, the tub changed and the tile, ledge and fittings did not.
Before anything gets built
Send us the plans. We’ll show you the house.
Plans, measurements or a few photographs and a sketch. We will tell you what it takes to model and render it, and what it costs, before you commit to anything.
