What to Look for in Architectural CGI Companies

What architectural CGI companies produce

Architectural CGI, short for computer-generated imagery, refers to photorealistic rendered images and animations of buildings and spaces, typically used for marketing, investor presentations, and design approval. This is functionally the same service as architectural rendering, with CGI being a common alternate term used in the industry.

What to evaluate before hiring one

Review portfolio work that matches your project's scale and building type, ask about the number of revision rounds included, and confirm realistic turnaround timelines before committing to a provider, since marketing claims about speed do not always match actual production timelines for complex scenes.

  • Review portfolio work matching your project scale and type
  • Ask about the number of included revision rounds
  • Confirm realistic turnaround estimates for your specific scope
  • Clarify pricing structure: per image versus per project

Rendimension helps teams plan this kind of work. See 3D Rendering Services for scope and pricing.
