Who We Work With

Six groups send us most of our work, and each one uses the images differently.

Architects and architecture firms

Concept communication, client presentations, and planning permission submissions.

Real estate developers

Investor decks, pre-sales campaigns, and launch marketing.

Builders and construction companies

Resolving design intent before it becomes a problem on site.

Interior designers.

Material, lighting, and FF&E schemes shown as finished rooms, from a living room rendering to a full bathroom rendering set.

Real estate agents and property marketers

Listing visuals for properties that are not built or not furnished, supported by virtual staging.

In-house marketing teams

Campaign assets for web, print, social, and trade press.

A Studio Built for Repeat Work

Five reasons architects and developers send us the next project, and the one after that.

A studio, not a freelancer marketplace

7CGI has operated since 2015 with an in-house team of more than 20 3D artists, project supervisors, and an R&D lead, working from studios in Beaverton, Oregon and Dhaka. Work is not brokered out to a rotating pool of contractors, which is why visual style stays consistent across a multi-image set and across repeat projects years apart. You can meet the team on our about page.

Capacity that scales with the project

A single hero image and a 40 image development package run through the same pipeline. Team size means large multi-view projects do not queue behind one artist’s calendar.

A defined review process

Every project includes two full rounds of revisions. Drafts are shared before materials, lighting, and furnishing are finalized, so camera angles and composition get agreed while changes are still cheap.

Transparent per-image pricing

Most architectural renderings fall between $250 and $600 or more per image, depending on complexity, view count, and detail level. Quotes are per image with no hidden fees, and the variables that move the price are explained up front.

Working across time zones

The US and Bangladesh studios overlap enough to move a review cycle daily rather than weekly. Files sent at end of day in the United States are often back the following morning.

How an Architectural Rendering Project Runs

Six stages from your first file to final delivery, with sign-off built in at the point where changes are still cheap.

We confirm scope before anything starts

  1. 1.You send drawings, models, and references.

  2. 2.We review the files and flag anything missing.

  3. 3.You receive a fixed per-image quote and a delivery date.

Nothing goes into production until scope, deliverables, and price are agreed in writing.

Composition gets agreed first

  1. 1.We propose camera positions for every image.

  2. 2.You approve or adjust the framing.

  3. 3.The scene is built to the approved angles.

This is the cheapest stage at which to change direction, so we settle it before any detail work begins.

Layout sign-off before detail

  1. 1.A draft quality render is produced for each view.

  2. 2.You check layout, framing, and proportion.

  3. 3.Changes are applied before materials are added.

Draft renders strip away texture and lighting so the underlying composition is easy to judge on its own.

The approved composition gets finished

  1. 1.Textures, finishes, and material schedules are applied.

  2. 2.Time of day and lighting are set.

  3. 3.Landscaping, furniture, and styling are added.

This is where the image becomes photorealistic, working from the references and mood you supplied in the brief.

Full resolution files in your formats

  1. 1.Final renders are output at your required resolution.

  2. 2.Files are delivered in the formats you specified.

  3. 3.Two rounds of revisions are included.

Most projects use fewer revisions than they are entitled to, because composition was signed off at the draft stage.

What we need from you to start

  1. 1.Design files. CAD, floor plans, elevations, sections, or Revit and SketchUp models. Site plans, landscape plans, FF&E, and material schedules if you have them.

  2. 2.Visual references. Photos, Pinterest boards, previous renderings, brand guidelines, or furniture references that show the mood you want.

  3. 3.Deliverable details. Number of images, interior or exterior views, camera angles, resolution, file format, animation length or 360 degree requirements, deadline, and what the images are for.

  4. 4.Site context. Site photos, a Google Maps location, or surrounding context references.

If all you have is a hand sketch or a basic floor plan, that is workable. We build accurate models from far less than a full CAD set.

Architectural Rendering Questions, Answered

Common questions about cost, timelines, file requirements, and how a project runs.

What is 3D architectural rendering?

3D architectural rendering turns drawings, CAD files, floor plans, elevations, or 3D models into realistic images or animations, showing how a building, interior, or development will look before it is built. It is used for design approval, planning submissions, investor presentations, and pre-construction marketing.

How much do architectural rendering services cost?

Most professional renderings cost between $250 and $600 or more per image. Price depends on project complexity, how many camera angles you need, whether 3D modeling is required from scratch, and whether it is a straightforward residential exterior or a detailed commercial aerial. 7CGI quotes per image with no hidden fees.

How long does an architectural rendering take?

A single still image typically takes 3 to 7 business days. Larger multi-view projects, animations, or full development packages run 1 to 3 weeks depending on scope.

What files do you need to start?

Ideally architectural drawings such as CAD files, floor plans, and elevations, or 3D models from Revit or SketchUp, plus material and style references. A basic floor plan or hand drawn sketch is enough to begin, and we build the model from there.

Can renderings be used for planning permission?

Yes. Our high resolution renderings suit both planning and permitting submissions and pre-construction marketing, and can be delivered to whatever specification the authority requires.

How many revisions are included?

Two full rounds of revisions on every project. Because composition is signed off at the draft stage, most projects use fewer.

What is the difference between architectural rendering and architectural visualization?

The two terms are often used interchangeably. Architectural visualization is the broader one, covering still renderings, animations, 360 degree panoramas, virtual tours, and real-time interactive walkthroughs. Architectural rendering usually refers to the still images within that.

Do you work with clients outside the United States?

Yes. We work with architects, developers, and design brands worldwide from studios in Beaverton, Oregon and Dhaka, Bangladesh. The time zone overlap between them lets a review cycle move daily rather than weekly.

Which service should I choose for a residential project?

For the building itself, start with exterior rendering. For rooms, use interior rendering. For layout and listings, a 3D floor plan rendering does the most work. Larger office, retail, and mixed use schemes are covered by commercial architectural rendering.
