Why use a domestic architectural rendering company?
With so many options available for outsourcing architectural renderings, why would you use a domestic architectural rendering firm and pass on the possible low costs of overseas outsourced renderings?
Communication. This is probably the most critical factor when selecting anyone to represent your project. You may have had the experience of working with a talented architectural renderer who “just does not get it” when it comes to your design intent. This problem can be compounded when your artist does not share your language. And while some overseas rendering firms advertise representatives that speak “perfect English” there are idioms and phrases you may use to express your requirements that do not translate. If you say “Well we’re back to square one”, or “knock their socks off”, you may not be understood.
Often times someone from a different culture will not ask you what you meant-you may not find out that you were not understood till the project is well under way. Cultural backgrounds can also be difficult to bridge. This is not to question the competency of the liaison-there are just differences.
At Genesis Studios Inc., we go the “extra mile” to be sure we understand what you mean. If we are not positive we have grasped your intent, we’ll take a step back and discuss the issue before moving on. It is better to be certain early on than to have to make revisions later on. Unnecessary revisions are costly, cause frustrations and can really slow a project down.
It is not unusual for us to work with architects whose first language may not be English; Spanish for example. Since English happens to be a more universal language it is easier for someone whose first language is not English to communicate with someone who understands English well.
To enhance communication, we also present sketches as we progress, incorporate your mark-ups and advance with our architectural illustrations. We know that you want “no surprises!”
For a successful project, communication is key. These are just a few of the images that show the process resulting in the completed rendering for Global City.
