3D HOUSE ANIMATION, MANCHESTER-based studio
Marketing house animations that move you ahead of UK competition
Whether or not to invest in housing animations depends on the size of development, property value, location, degree of local competition and how quickly you’d like to sell your properties. There’s no doubt that top-quality animations, accompanying social media snippets and snapshot stills will generate a great deal of interest before your development is finished and will go a long way to converting interest into off-plan sales.
Our 3D animation studio in Manchester offers a selection of property animation packages to ensure you can get the quality without having to pay a premium. There’s usually something we can produce for you, whatever the budget, even if it’s just a camera sweep across a room to use as a website header. So, if you’re not sure if 3D animations are right for your house sale process, why not give our expert team a call? We’ll talk you through the various options and give you ball-park figures over the phone.

FAQs
Is the cost I’m quoted the cost I’m going to pay?
We are transparent about the costs of our housing animations from the get-go. Creating high quality realism from 2D architectural drawings and materials references is an artform and as such is open to subjective interpretation. Our quoted price includes any subjective changes, as well as a couple of small structural changes such as removing a fence, a chimney being moved, a Velux window added. The only time you may be charged extra is if you make alterations to your designs after we have shared the low resolution images with you, in which case we will charge the same rate as the original quote only for the time taken to make those changes. The animation process allows for tweaks and changes to camera paths and speed of movement so you can make sure your housing animation is exactly how you’d like to be.
What do you need from me?
We’re not just a production line. At every point in the apartment animation process, every expert in our team is playing to their strength. To make sure you get the best possible results and to keep your costs down, we’ll ask you about your core market, price point and how easy / difficult you expect sales to be. We’ll ask you for as many details up front as possible as we know this makes for a more efficient process. If your animation includes interior spaces, we’ll need your interior specifications along with your planning drawings and building materials schedules.
What if there are several different departments that need to provide feedback?
It’s best practice to funnel the feedback into one point of contact. At the start of the animation process, we can make things easier for you by asking for information directly from your architect. However, if you need feedback from them, the sales department and the directors, we always tell you when to expect your housing animation raw views so you can arrange meetings in advance and keep production flowing.
Do you know what you’re doing? What’s your level of expertise?
Creating the best property marketing CGIs available starts from the point of concept – when we first take a look at your plans we make sure we find the camera angles which will show your properties off in the best light. We’re a well-established company; we’ve been creating architectural animations since 2005. During that time we’ve honed our systems and nurtured a team of experts. It’s not just one person creating your image…we’re proud of our team which includes a trained architect, a fine artist, a videographer / VR guru, a stylist, a marketing expert and an experienced project manager. We’re a bunch of self-critical perfectionists who won’t rest until we have produced the best possible content for you.
I’ve never commissioned property marketing walkthroughs before and I don’t know what to expect
No problem, we’ll walk you through the process. Our clients range from sole traders who are new to CGI through to large property developers and architects well-versed in housing animations and already have an understanding of what’s involved. If you already know, great, we will quickly talk you through how we work to make sure you get your CGIs on time, on budget, with the least amount of hassle, every time. If you’ve never done it before we’ll walk you through our process to ensure it’s stress free for you every step of the way.
How long does everything take?
We’ll always ask if you have a deadline that needs to be met before we take your job on. We’d rather under-promise and over deliver. If we can’t meet your deadline we’ll be honest from the start. Once the job is booked in, delivery times will mostly depend on how quickly we get the info we need and the feedback required. Once we have all the information we need to get started an average set of still CGIs will take around 1-2 weeks to get produced, interiors take an extra week. Once these are signed off, we start producing the architectural animation, which generally takes between 1-2 months depending on its length, the number of spaces we’re covering and how many changes to brief we may need to incorporate. We will keep you posted of our progress at all times and if you have any questions, queries or issues there’s always someone at the end of the phone who will help you straight away. We’re a small company with a large capacity, and we pride ourselves on our customer service. We understand your deadlines are important and we’ll make sure we meet them.
