The short checklist

What to send for each type of render

Which file formats work

CAD, SketchUp, Revit and PDF all work. If you already have a SketchUp or Revit model, send it along with the drawings. A PDF floor plan works as well as the others; if anything on a plan is unclear, we ask before quoting.

What you don't need yet

How to send them

Put a link to your drawings — a shared folder or file transfer — in the enquiry form, or email the files to [email protected]. We confirm the views, the scope and a fixed price within 24 hours.

Start with a free view

Send the drawings for one view of your project and get one draft render free — draft resolution, with a small watermark — so you can judge the quality before you order anything. We check that the project and the files are suitable, then confirm the view and a demo slot; the 48 hours start once we confirm the slot and have the agreed files.

Questions

Can I send a hand sketch?

Can I send the files by email?

Yes. Email them to [email protected], or put a link to them in the enquiry form.

What do you need for the free demo?

The drawings for one view of your project. We check that the project and the files are suitable, then confirm the view and a demo slot.
