3D
Virtual reality for Homebuilders
Archiform
3D has released what could be the ultimate 3D
virtual reality homebuilder's package.
The
housing industry has only dabbled with virtual reality, mainly
due to the cost, time and effort to form a brief. Hi-rise and
resort developers have enjoyed the benefit for some time, mainly
due to larger advertising budgets and the mass production of
only a few designs. This doesn't mean that 3D virtual
reality is not desirable or perfectly suitable for detached housing,
it's just been out of reach.
By
working through the needs and the budgets of home builders Archiform
3D has created new package rates that are considerably less than
previous rates yet offering something
that builders have not utilized, interiors. "Naturally we
have to make a profit too, so the greatest challenge was finding
a common ground with our new clients", says Steve Bell,
managing director. "To
make this happen we needed to put the hard work in early and
create a service that moves fast enough for builders and fits
into a relatively small budget"
The
new packages start at well under $1000 for coloured
floorplans,
streetfront renderings and internal renderings of the living
rooms and master bedroom. All are done to the same quality as
Archiform 3Ds established hi-rise and resort work and are actually
based on the same processes. The main difference between the
two services is that the home builder packages
utilise over 100 premade scenes from the USA and Australia, avoiding
the interior design phase and halving the proofing requirements.
Archiform 3D's policy is to expand this catalogue by one scene,
being the latest
or
most fashionable of it's type, each and every week.
The
result is a significantly reduce timelines and therefore the
ability to reduce prices. The effort required by the client has
also reduced, because now it is simply a matter of choosing the
style of furniture rather than instructing an interior decorator.
The anticipated time for each home builders package is less than
14 working days, with an average of just one week. The final
results are provided as hi-res artwork and a pre-designed brochure in electronic format that can be emailed directly to buyers or
sent out to print.
Project
builders, estate developers and smaller local builders all benefit
from this new service, which goes head to head with traditional
simplistic artwork in price, but offers better quality, coloured
floorplans, finished artwork designs and, of course, interior
renderings.
Archiform
3D is a world leader in 3D virtual reality scenes
for the property industry and has brought production times
and pricing
to what is considered one of the most computational intense
fields in the world.
All
samples and prices are located and the brochures
