One of the most frequently asked questions we get at Esferarquitectura before starting is: “What information do I need to have ready to ask you for a quote?”.<\/em><\/p>\n The short answer is: much less than you think.<\/p>\n The process of creating a 3D render starts long before the first image is produced. However, there is a false myth that you need to have the execution project closed down to the millimeter to contact a visualization studio. Nothing could be further from the truth. <\/p>\n Here we explain what files are useful to us, what we use each one for, and how you can speed up the process of your 3D renders in Malaga.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To make a financial estimate and guide you on costs, we don’t need the final project. With any of these documents, we can give you clear numbers: <\/p>\n This is the most common starting point. If you have floor plans, elevations, and sections in PDF, it’s enough for us to understand the scale and geometry of the project. It doesn’t matter if they are highly developed plans or preliminary sketches. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you already have lines drawn in CAD, even better. Seeing the dimensions and layout helps us fine-tune the quote to the maximum. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have a basic volume, send it to us. Seeing the volumetry allows us to calculate the exact working time instantly. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you know you need to visualize your project, but your project isn’t defined yet or you are in an early stage, conveying your idea to us can be enough to prepare a budget estimate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once the quote is approved and the project is underway, the quality of the files sets the pace of the process. The more defined the DWG is\u2014organized layers, clear dimensions, well-linked references\u2014the fewer back-and-forths there will be during modeling. <\/p>\n But if the project still has loose ends or you are evaluating options, it is not a problem. We are architects: we can analyze the documentation you have, propose alternatives, and kick off the concept visualization while the project is being finalized. A virtual mockup to see the building in 3D is precisely what helps you make the final decisions. <\/p>\n The summary?<\/strong> Any documentation works for us to prepare a quote and plan the start of the work. Don’t delay the visualization of your project by thinking that “it still needs work”. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Send us the PDFs or the DWG you have on your desk right now, and we will prepare an estimated quote with no obligation.<\/p>\n
