"How am I supposed to get approvals when I don’t even have the final drawings yet?"
That was Richie’s dilemma. As a real estate developer in New York, he was ready to transform a vacant lot into a multi-family housing project. But the city wasn’t going to greenlight anything without clear, detailed visuals.
The problem? The architectural plans weren’t ready. All Richie had was a preliminary site plan and a few reference images of buildings he liked. The clock was ticking. The longer he waited, the more the project stalled—meaning lost time, lost opportunities, and mounting frustration. But he couldn’t afford to sit back. He needed a solution. Fast.
Richie reached out to us with a challenge:
We knew right away that this project required more than just technical expertise—it needed problem-solving. Without architectural blueprints, we had to find a way to extract as much clarity as possible from Richie’s ideas.
That’s when we asked him for one crucial step: sketching his modifications directly onto the reference images.
"I’m not a designer," Richie said. "I don’t even know if my sketches make sense."
"That’s okay," we assured him. "Even rough ideas will help us get it right the first time."
With his input, we were able to bridge the gap between concept and execution. No need for months of back-and-forth with architects—just a streamlined process that got straight to the point.
Once we had Richie’s sketches and site plan, our team of rendering artists got to work. The project involved:
"Can we tweak the roofline a bit?" Richie asked during the revision stage.
"Absolutely," we said. "That’s why 3D rendering is so powerful—you can make changes before a single brick is laid."
The revision process allowed Richie to refine his vision without costly mistakes down the line. Every adjustment brought him closer to a final product he could confidently present to the city.
After a few rounds of fine-tuning, the final renderings were ready. The result? City approval—secured. A clear, compelling vision to show investors—achieved.A major time and cost-saving alternative to waiting for full architectural plans—delivered.
"I can’t believe how realistic this looks," Richie said. "This is exactly what I envisioned."
This wasn’t just about creating beautiful images. It was about solving real-world problems—helping a developer move forward when time, money, and approvals were on the line.
