How an architectural drafting project with Rendimension works

A project starts with the files you already have: drawings, a model, a site plan, finish selections and reference images. Rendimension reviews them, confirms the views and deliverables in writing, and flags missing information before modeling starts, so the quote reflects the real scope.

The first draft is shared for comments on camera, materials and lighting. Feedback is collected in one round per stage, applied by the same artists who built the scene, and final files are delivered in the formats agreed at the start. Because the work is produced remotely, the process is the same for a project in Columbia as for one anywhere else in South Carolina.

How to choose an architectural drafting provider in South Carolina

Drafting quality shows up at permit review, not in a portfolio. Ask for a redacted drawing set the provider produced for a comparable building type and check the sheet organization, the dimensioning and the notes.

Local code and submittal formats differ from one jurisdiction to the next. A remote drafter can meet them, but the scope should say who researches local requirements and who stamps the set when a licensed professional is required.

If the project will also need renderings, keeping drafting and visualization with one team avoids rebuilding the model from PDFs and keeps design changes in sync.
