Your project, before it exists

This page covers what can be done with a project that has not been built yet, and what it costs.

A drawing is not enough

You put the drawing on the table and the other person nods. They did not understand: drawings are read with training, and whoever decides rarely has it.

So the decision gets postponed, or it gets made badly and corrected on site, which is where correcting costs materials and time.

Walk through it

Your project in a link: you turn it with your finger, and a slider lowers a cutting plane and opens it from the inside, like a model with the lid taken off.

It opens in the browser. Nothing to install, no account, no software. You send it over WhatsApp and it works on the other end.

A developer in pre-sales has to show interest before the bank releases the construction loan, and interest is shown by people who understood the project. A drawing does not get you there. Something you can walk through from your phone does.

Look at it

The images of your finished project, before a single wall exists. That is while you can still change your mind without it costing construction.

Exteriors, interiors, the arrival, the detail that closes the sale. The views are chosen together, before production starts.

This is how a house of ours looks before it exists, which is while it can still be changed: it is the same thing you would receive of your own.

Set it moving

What a still image cannot tell: how the light changes through the day, how you arrive, how you move through it.

The video walkthrough

The camera enters and walks the project. It is what you send when you have to convince someone who will not read anything.

The vertical cut for social

The same walkthrough in phone format, which is where everything gets watched now. It comes from the same model, it is not produced twice.

The 360 tour

You stand at one point and look around, as if you were standing there. It earns its place above all for whoever cannot come and see.

These three are quoted in the conversation, based on the project.

If there is no model

Everything above comes out of a three-dimensional model. If your project only exists as drawings, we model it: the rest is born from there.

If the model already exists, we work on yours and modelling is not charged.

What it costs

The price of the images is published and worked out per image, not per square metre: the number of images does not grow with the area.

From USD 125 per image, minimum 6. It comes down with quantity: the more images, the less each one costs.

The modelling: If the project only exists as drawings, USD 250 is added once.

The interactive walkthrough, the video and the tour are quoted per project, in the conversation.

The price is the same for a person and for a company. The only thing that changes is the invoice.

What everyone asks

Do I need to have the design done?

It does not have to be ours, but it does have to exist. We work on your project or on your architect's, with whatever drawings you have. If what you want is to design the house from scratch, that is another of our lines and you are better off entering through there.

What if my project is only drawings, with no 3D model?

We model it. It is a separate figure added once, and from that model come the images, the video and the walkthrough afterwards: nothing gets modelled twice.

Can I ask for changes on the images?

The views are chosen before production, which is when changing costs nothing. On an image already produced, light, materials and framing get adjusted. Changing the geometry of the project is another job, and you are told before.

Who owns the images?

They are yours to sell, present and publish your project. They are not for filings with authorities or for building from: they are not technical documentation. We keep the right to show them as the studio's work, and if your project cannot be published yet, that is agreed before we start.

The design is another architect's. Can I still send it?

Yes, and it is half of the projects that come to this line. We only ask that you have the author's permission for us to represent it, and the design credit stays in their name in anything we publish: we sign the image, not the project.

Do you work on projects outside Colombia?

Yes, with no difference in price or process. The conversation is by video and the work is followed remotely. Images have no border: they need no signature or professional licence, because they are not technical documentation.

How much does it cost?

The images have a published price, per image and with a minimum, and it comes down with quantity. The interactive walkthrough, the video and the tour are quoted per project. The exact figure for yours comes out of the forty five minute conversation.

Send us the drawing. We will send it back as something you can walk through.
