Revisiting the topic “Why Use a Domestic Architectural Rendering Company?”

Greatly differing time zones. This may not seem to be much of a problem at first glance. You may be willing to stay at the office till 9:00 pm to talk to someone halfway around the world-after all, your new project is important to you. However this may become a daily routine as some of the progress images are not looking quite the way you expected. The calls are later (or very early) and more frequent and perhaps a bit more exasperating.

How do I know all of this? One way is that I have spoken with architects and developers that have outsourced their architectural renderings. To be sure, it is not always a bad experience, but it can be. I have heard many of the stories (some nightmares) of calls and emails around the clock.

The other way I know about this is that-yes-I have outsourced work. So I know from firsthand experience how what seems like a simple experience can spiral out of control.

The height of the “time zone” problem comes when you receive your completed rendering at 9:00 am, “as promised”. Everything looks fine, except upon further review you notice a critical omission-like no flag on the flagpole, or worse, an unwanted addition-like an extra floor. You need this changed, but your overseas source has retired for the night. You have to make prints and bind them for your critical meeting while knowing full well you will have “some splaining to do” in your meeting. I know, I’ve been there.

Related to the “time zone” issue is the fact that certain holidays in other countries are not the same as ours. Various “New Years” celebrations come at different times with long shutdowns. Just some things to think about if you have a critical deadline to meet.
