What do recent architectural rendering projects look like?
Each one of the images you can see below was designed and created by an independent artist available right here on the Easy Render platform. Naturally, we give full credit to their respective creators.
What is included in our architectural 3D rendering services?
Because every architectural project is unique, your final deliverables will depend entirely on the offer and artist you choose. Make sure to clearly agree on these key points with your artist before you actually hire them:
- Final images delivered in the specific resolution and file format you need for screens, print, or planning submissions.
- Complete 3D modeling of the structure based on your CAD drawings, sketches, or existing 3D models.
- Accurate site context, including realistic landscaping, neighboring buildings, people, and vehicles.
- Precise materials and finishes matched perfectly to your project specifications.
- Custom lighting and time-of-day setups, such as bright daylight, atmospheric dusk, or nighttime.
- The exact number of revision rounds clearly agreed upon in your initial offer.
- Full usage rights for client presentations, marketing campaigns, and planning applications, as defined in your agreement.
What determines the cost of 3D architectural rendering services?
Architectural visualization pricing is primarily based on the complexity of the modeling and site work required. For example, building a 3D model from scratch using 2D drawings naturally costs more than rendering a Revit or SketchUp model you already have. Large sites, detailed landscaping, and complex aerial views also require more time. However, requesting extra views of the exact same building will cost significantly less than the very first view.
What types of 3D visualization services do we deliver?
Exterior renderings
Facades, landscaping and street context for houses, apartment buildings and commercial projects, from single views to day and dusk versions of the same scene.
Interior renderings
Living spaces, kitchens, bathrooms and commercial interiors with real materials and lighting, so clients can sign off finishes before anything is ordered.
Houses and villas
Single homes and villas shown with facade materials, landscaping and pools, for architects, builders and homeowners presenting a design or seeking approval.
Apartment and residential buildings
Multi-unit residential buildings in their street context, with balconies, materials and planting, for planning submissions and off-plan sales.
Hotels, resorts and commercial buildings
Hotels, resorts, offices and mixed-use buildings rendered to attract investors, tenants and guests long before construction is complete.
Landscape and courtyard views
Gardens, courtyards and public spaces between buildings, showing how a development feels at ground level for planning and marketing.

What are architectural rendering services?
Architectural rendering services take your raw drawings, sketches, or basic 3D models and transform them into highly photorealistic images of a building before it physically exists. A professional 3D artist digitally models the building and its surrounding site, applies accurate, real-world materials, populates the scene with landscaping and people, and sets up realistic lighting based on your chosen time of day.
The final result looks exactly like a photograph of the finished project. This makes it significantly easier for clients, planning committees, or potential buyers to understand the vision compared to deciphering a complex set of 2D plans.
When do you need architectural visualization services?
Architectural renderings easily earn their keep whenever a critical decision relies on people understanding a building that’s just not there yet. They are incredibly useful for:
- Client approval: Clients sign off on building massing, facades, and material choices much faster when they can look at realistic views instead of flat elevations.
- Planning and permits: Photomontages and eye-level street views help local planning officers and concerned neighbors clearly see how a new project fits into its current surroundings.
- Competitions and pitches: A stunning set of 3D architectural visualization services is often the deciding factor that wins a major design competition or secures a new client.
- Marketing and pre-sales: Property developers rely heavily on building rendering services for construction hoardings, brochures, and online listings so they can begin selling units long before construction finishes.
Who uses an architectural rendering company?
The majority of architectural rendering projects on Easy Render come from architecture practices, property developers, home builders, design-build firms, and private homeowners who are planning a new build. Small and mid-sized architecture practices often outsource their rendering needs because hiring a full-time visualization specialist on staff only makes financial sense if they have a non-stop flow of work.
Property developers, on the other hand, frequently commission these renderings early on to raise crucial finance and kickstart pre-sales.
Do you need exterior, interior, and aerial views?
Most architectural projects require a combination of different views.
- Exterior renderings effectively highlight the facade, material choices, and main entrance from eye level.
- Aerial views provide the big picture, showcasing the entire site, multi-building layouts, and how the project fits within the broader neighborhood.
- Interior renderings focus on key areas like a grand lobby, an open-plan living space, or a fully furnished show apartment.
Commissioning all these views from a single artist is highly recommended. It keeps materials and lighting completely consistent across the entire set, and it is almost always cheaper because the 3D model only needs to be built once.
What should you prepare before posting an architectural rendering job?
Providing a clear, highly detailed brief is by far the fastest way to get accurate offers and cut down on frustrating revision rounds. Before you post your project on Easy Render, make sure to gather the following elements:
- Drawings: Gather your site plans, floor plans, elevations, and sections with accurate dimensions, or simply provide your existing Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, or ArchiCAD model.
- Materials: Specify your facade materials, glazing, roofing, and paving. It helps tremendously if you can include exact product names or clear reference photos.
- Site context: Include real photos of the site, the surrounding buildings, and the specific sightlines you need to show.
- Views: Decide on the exact camera angles you want. Also, let the artist know if you need aerial views and what specific time of day or season fits your vision best.
- Use and deadline: Clarify exactly where the images will be used (such as planning submissions, client presentations, print media, or websites) and the exact date you need them delivered.
What makes an architectural rendering genuinely convincing?
At the end of the day, a high-quality architectural rendering is judged on one main thing. Does it look exactly like a photograph of a real building? When you are comparing portfolios from different artists, you should look closely for these five key elements:
- Accuracy: Proportions, window openings, and ceiling heights need to match the drawings perfectly so the image can be fully trusted in a planning or sales meeting.
- Materials: Elements like brick, timber, concrete, and glass should weather, reflect, and catch the light exactly the way real-world materials do.
- Context: Landscaping, streets, neighboring buildings, and people must be shown at the correct scale, ensuring your building doesn’t just float awkwardly in an empty scene.
- Lighting and atmosphere: The sun position needs to match the actual site orientation. You also want a mood, like a clear morning or a warm, inviting dusk, that perfectly suits the project.
- Camera: Views should be framed from realistic human positions with straight verticals, mimicking exactly how a professional architectural photographer would shoot the real building.
How much do architectural rendering services cost?
Here at Easy Render, architectural rendering prices are determined by custom offers from our artists rather than rigid, fixed packages. If we take a closer look at the 100 most recently completed projects on our platform, the typical project cost was around $270. When considering the middle half of all projects, the price landed somewhere between $150 and $450.
As a general rule, asking for several views of the exact same building will cost significantly less per image than ordering a single view, simply because the 3D model only needs to be built once. On the other side of the coin, large sites, highly detailed landscaping, complex aerial views, and extra revision rounds will naturally increase the final price.
How do you choose the right artist for your architectural work?
Architectural visualization is a field that heavily rewards true specialists. For example, an artist who mostly renders interiors might struggle with massive site contexts and detailed landscaping, while someone who mainly does product visuals might not know how to read complex construction drawings.
When you compare custom offers on Easy Render, look for portfolios featuring exteriors and aerials of buildings that match yours in both scale and style. It is also a great idea to ask the artist upfront how they will work with your files, whether they plan on modeling from scratch using your CAD drawings or rendering directly from your existing Revit or SketchUp model.

Frequently Asked Questions about Architectural Rendering Services
How much do architectural rendering services cost?
A single fixed price does not exist here at Easy Render. Each of our artists sends custom offers that are firmly based on your brief and requirements. If we take the 100 most recent projects on our platform into consideration, the typical cost circles around $270. On a more general level, about half of all projects cost between $150 and $450. All in all, the final price will depend on the number of views you require, how complex the modeling work needs to be, the overall site context, and how much detail you need.
How long does an architectural rendering take?
Turnaround times depend mostly on the modeling phase. Working from an existing 3D model is naturally much faster than modeling from scratch using 2D drawings. Keep in mind that large sites, complex aerial views, and phased projects will take longer. Be sure to agree on a firm delivery date and set up draft milestones in your offer before you officially hire an artist.
What files do I need to send for an architectural rendering?
To get started, you should send a site plan, floor plans, elevations, and sections as CAD files, PDFs, or a 3D model if you already have one. You should also include a list of facade materials, photos of the site, and the specific camera angles you want. The more precise your brief is, the more accurate your offers will be, and the fewer revisions you will need later.
Can renderings be used for planning applications?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our clients successfully use renderings and photomontages in planning and permit submissions. Just make sure to tell your artist what specific views and accuracy levels your local planning authority expects, and share real site photos so the building can be placed perfectly in its true surroundings.
Can I get exterior, interior, and aerial views all from one artist?
Yes, and it usually makes perfect sense to do so! Having one artist work from a single master model keeps materials and lighting completely consistent across every single view. Plus, ordering additional views of the exact same model will cost you much less than commissioning brand-new scenes from different artists.
