Builder Pre-Construction
Design Services
Builders often face the challenge of marketing a home before it is complete. Many potential buyers struggle to picture how a finished design will look, which can delay sales until long after construction is complete. To overcome this, builders have partnered with Avant to create realistic 3D renderings before breaking ground. These visualizations make it possible to list a home on real estate platforms early, giving buyers a clear sense of the finished product.
This approach provides builders with several key advantages. In many cases, it allows them to secure a contract before construction is finished. Faster sales can also reduce carrying costs, especially when a project is financed with a loan that accrues interest during construction.
Beyond marketing, 3D renderings serve as a valuable communication tool. Builders can share them with subcontractors to clearly illustrate the desired outcome. Traditional 2D drawings and written descriptions can be left open to interpretation, which can lead to costly mistakes. Renderings reduce the risk of miscommunication and ensure everyone involved understands the final vision.
The Process
Project Kickoff
The kickoff stage is where collaboration begins. During this step, we gather all the essential details from the builder, including floor plans, elevations, project timelines, and design goals. Together, we establish the scope of work by clarify what interior and exterior spaces they would like to visualize.
Design Inspiration
For builders that don't have an interior designer, this stage is where they can provide photos that resemble the look or feel that they would like the home to have. Often times this includes several inspiration photos for each room with the home as well the exterior finishes.
Design Review
In the final stage, we review the renderings with the builder to ensure the design intent is fully captured and the finished product meets expectations. This is also the time to make any final adjustments needed to achieve the desired look.
