How Metters and Wellby's cutting-edge CGI Services Support Property Industry Professional Success

You have a vision and know exactly what that house renovation project or new apartment block could look like. Communicating that to stakeholders and potential buyers isn't always as easy. Often, they cannot "see" the outcome you do. Cutting-edge CGI services can eliminate confusion and create opportunities for impressive collaborations. With our CGI services for estate agents, property developers, and architects, it has never been easier to see a successful future.

What can Metters and Wellby's CGI services do for the property industry?

Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) utilises technology to create photorealistic images. Utilising an architect's drawings for a property or other detailed descriptions, our CGI services can take ideas and make them look like they've already been built long before a single brick is put in place.

As an experienced architectural practice, we understand the benefits that CGI can bring to a project. We go beyond design. Our CGI visuals accurately reflect the form and function of your project, ensuring realism and precision.

The Benefits of Visualising Through CGI

Providing an image to a prospective investor allows them to see the vision that you do, as a property developer, designer, or architect has to offer. There are numerous benefits to visualising property development long before any money is invested:

Improve clarity on projects during the design phase

One of the first and most impressive benefits of CGI for property developers and architects occurs in the design stage. Certainly, two-dimensional architectural drawings are very important resources for creating goals and project details.

However, taking those two-dimensional drawings and creating a more realistic and clearer image using CGI transforms the process. Your ideas and designs are transformed into life-like photos as if the project is already complete and move-in-ready.

An added benefit to visualising the project is that it speeds up the design process. From the start, there is better communication and clarity on the project’s objectives and expectations. That clarity can help minimise the amount of back-and-forth communication required to get it just right, saving time.

Sell the property project to local planners

Accurate, highly professional CGI images provide clarity and erase doubt. When working with local planners or other parties who could decide on whether the project can go ahead or not, it is critical to have a clear visual available to support your submission.

For example, local planners may not be confident of a project’s ability to fit within the community or operate in a way that is safe for the area. With the use of CGI, it is possible to clearly communicate every detail of a project. That visualisation eliminates doubt and provides clarity on project outcomes, which is so critical for getting approval to move a project forward.

Securing financing for the project

With so much risk in various areas of the property development world, financiers need to mitigate risk in any way they can. The utilisation of CGI by project owners could help defray the frustration and provide a clearer, more on-point visual of the project. This answers questions and builds confidence in all stakeholders.

CGI makes it easier to pitch for financing your project. It is not just a concept or a flat drawing that you are using to ask for funding. Instead, you are providing ample clarity that allows finance companies and equity partners to clearly see the advantages of funding the project.

Early stage selling

Another of the benefits of utilising CGI is that it enables you to sell your property. Not every stakeholder can visualise a project from a drawing. They want to see how it looks, room by room, and one feature to the next., This provides prospective buyers with a more realistic representation of what the property will provide to them and enables them to make better decisions.

CGI is not simply for exterior views of the property, though. It also enables buyers to see the shapes, colours, textures, and layouts of various rooms within the space. Use it to get a better representation of colour combinations, the natural light of a space, and the floor plan of various options. This improves the early stage selling of such properties.

CGI Is Changing the Property Industry One Project at a Time

All parties invested in the development, sale, and eventual living within a project must have clarity on the realistic expectations available. CGI creates clarity, answers questions, and boosts confidence. It is a small investment for the pre-planning, approval, and sales process. More so, today's consumers expect to have a true visual experience of any project before a single brick is put into place.

For estate agents, the use of virtual tools and detailed, three-dimensional images helps property buyers clearly see what their future could hold. These types of experiences help to save agents time, allowing the buyer to clearly see whether a property is worthy of consideration long before visiting the location.

 This has resulted in numerous benefits to all stakeholders in these projects. That may include:

With a higher potential selling point for your next property, improved interest from buyers who may not have ever considered the project before now, and a wide range of time-saving features, CGI services are a must today.

Explore how these tools are being used every day in the property industry to build confidence, increase revenue, secure financing, and move property development to the next level. With visualised examples of what a property development may look like, there is absolutely no doubt you can have the confidence to move your project forward.
