Renders & Animations

Embrace the Benefits of BIM for Construction

One of our specialities is to provide our clients with 3 dimensional realistic renders (CGI's) of proposed and existing projects. This enables our clients, neighbours and especially the local authority to visualise the space and future design well before the construction even begins. These images can then also be used for marketing purposes to assist with sales.


Our 3D models are all created using the latest software and technology available. For larger schemes, we can prepare a fly-by animation of your project, which not only provides a new perspective but can also illustrate the effect a building can have on natural light/shade of your property or of a surrounding building.

Fly-by Animation

Depending on the project and client requirements, our 4D Planning has in-house award-winning model makers and 3D designers who specialise in building accurate and detailed miniature models of proposed architectural schemes. These models can help demonstrate a design to the public for marketing purposes, but also to the local council for the purpose of obtaining planning permission.

Benefits of Renders and Animations from Grid Point:

There are significant advantages of our 3D renders for planning including;


  • Many people can find it difficult to visualise the actual buildings represented by architects plans and elevations.
  • Most Councillors who sit on committees and make recommendations are usually neither architects nor builders. They can find it difficult to really visualise what is being shown to them.
  • This is when 3D renders really can make a big impression. Our CGI images accurately show the proposed property and how it will appear within the proposed location. Furthermore, they also convey that the applicant is serious about getting the project approved.

 

We can produce property marketing images to show the aspirational ‘lifestyle’ you would like associated with your new build. There are vast 3D model libraries of modern interiors we can modify to create just the right look.


Our architectural interior rendering service uses our design and photographic skills to produce interior photographs that will sell your property.

What Our Clients Say

  • Nick Weaver Director of Civils Contracting


    “Grid Point were appointed by Civils Contracting Ltd to undertake the complex modelling of the earthworks and ground remediation strategy for a new aircraft hangar for Biggin Hill Airport. Grid Point were instrumental in assisting with the development of a cost effective solution. Having understood our requirements they created 3D computer models and consulted with our commercial team to substantiate and effectively tender the project with a clear understanding of costs and quantities. Not only did we have a clear understanding of the earthworks package and financials, Grid Point provided our contractor with a 3D model that was loaded into their plant (CAT D6) enabling the contractor to cut and fill the site without any fuss. It was a great deal safer and faster than using traditional surveying method, it also eliminated the need for us to have additional resources.  


    Thank you Grid Point – very professional, coupled with impeccable service!”

  • Micheal Fisher - Countryside Properties (UK) Limited


    “Grid Point were appointed by Countryside Properties as our Earthworks Specialists to provide an Earthworks strategy for our development. Grid Point were able to provide a cost effective solution and a feasible Earthworks Strategy all within a tight deadline and budget. Providing such a high level of service enabled Countryside to progress to the releasing of approved working drawings. One of the benefits of taking these services out of the scope of the Civil Engineer is that the Earthworks strategy can be developed ahead of working drawings stage allowing the Stage 4+ design to proceed without question marks over levels and reduces risk of delay to the design programme or rushed last minute changes or otherwise avoidable retaining walls, muck away etc. 


    Grid Point communicated well with both planning and working drawing engineers smoothing out the design process while reducing groundworks risk and potential groundworks delay due to working in an un-profiled site. Thank you Grid Point for providing reassurance, eliminating the unknown risks and removing the potential for unnecessary costs”

    “Grid Point played a significant role on the Benenden Hospital project assisting all of the site team providing their expertise in most areas predominantly the Site Engineering, Design and CAD/3D volumetric carried out to assist the commercial team. Grid Point prevented Willmott Dixon from being exposed commercially by providing information gained from experience within Earthworks/Civil Engineering and their exceptional knowledge of AutoCAD making it easier for Willmott Dixon to actively forecast final volumes and costs - the visual drawings produced were extremely beneficial in helping to accurately substantiate works completed”
