Our Planning & Site Visualization Services
We provide a comprehensive range of visualization options tailored to support your planning process:
Photomontages
A photomontage is a visual that combines a photograph of the existing site with a 3D model of your proposal. It shows exactly how the proposal will appear in its real-world context.
Visual Deliverables:
- ✓Verified views from key locations
- ✓Street-level photomontages
- ✓Aerial and elevated viewpoints
- ✓Before and after comparisons
Our Planning & Site Visualization Process
We combine coordinate survey data, professional photography, and matched 3D models for defensible planning results:
Site & Project Review
We review your design plans, planning parameters, and existing site photography to align on objectives.
Site Photography & Survey
We capture site photography from viewpoints or verify camera positions and focal lengths of your existing photos.
Context & Site Modeling
We build a 3D model of your site and context (surrounding blocks, topography) from survey data.
Proposed Building Modeling
We coordinate your proposal (building, parking, landscaping) into the 3D context model from design files.
Photomontage Production
We match the 3D model camera alignment to site photographs, configuring coordinates, shadows, and light paths.
Review & Refinement
We present drafts, implement coordination adjustments, and verify standards before final delivery.
Delivery
We deliver the final high-resolution site renderings and printable graphics packages.
Software & Tools We Use
We leverage advanced Ray-Traced alignment shaders and GIS tools to compile verified and accurate views.
Compatible Output Formats
Every photomontage and display graphic is compiled in high-resolution, scale-accurate exports ready for planning books:
Quality & Standards
We maintain strict QA checkmarks to verify scale, camera alignment, and contextual fit to produce defensible results:
