The benefits of CGI during the house extension design process..

Are you planning on adding an extension to your home? If so, have you considered the benefits of having CGI visuals done? CGI or computer-generated imagery can provide a 3D visualisation of your planned extension, offering numerous advantages to both you as the homeowner and also to the contractor who will be constructing the project.

Are you struggling to visualise the design?

For homeowners, it can be difficult to imagine the final result of their house extension project from 2d plans alone. Visualising the end product from sketches and blueprints can often be challenging, making it hard to fully appreciate what the final result will look like. That’s where CGI visuals come in handy.

By creating a 3D model of the extension, homeowners can get a realistic and accurate idea of what the project will look like. They can see the shape, scale and detail of every aspect of the extension before they submit their plans for planning or before any construction work starts. This means that homeowners can make changes to their design if they notice any issues or don’t like a particular feature. The ability to make changes before construction work begins can save time and money, helping you avoid costly mistakes.

Furthermore, CGI visuals can help homeowners with practical decisions such as lighting, colour palettes, and space planning. This means that homeowners can test out different design ideas before committing to any decisions. It’s also an excellent way to get a sense of the space that the extension will provide, helping homeowners get a better sense of how their lives will be improved by the renovation.

Benefits for the contractor..

For contractors, CGI visuals offer similar benefits. Contractors can use the visuals to gain visual clarity on the project, allowing them to better understand what their clients are looking for in terms of design and functionality. This can help avoid miscommunications and mistakes. CGI visuals also make it easier for contractors to estimate the time and cost of the project, meaning that they can develop a more accurate quote for the job.

Another benefit for contractors is that CGI visuals help them to communicate with architects and engineers. These professionals can collaborate to resolve concerns, reducing the risk of mistakes and making the project run smoothly.

Simulations and walk-throughs..

Online demo versions of CGI visual simulation tools can also be developed and utilised to show customers the proposed design and how it will work in practise.

In conclusion, CGI visuals offer numerous benefits for both homeowners and contractors. The ability to 3D model a house extension can help homeowners make smarter decisions and save both time and money when it comes to construction.
