3D Rendering Perth

3D rendering services for Perth projects

Exteriors, interiors, animation, 3D floor plans, house and display-home renders, product and commercial visualisation are all available at the same published prices. The dominant Perth brief is the builder's facade range: a set of home designs, each with several elevations, rendered consistently for the website and the display village. The second is the infill project — a duplex, a triplex or a small apartment building in the middle suburbs — where the street view has to satisfy the council and sell the units at the same time.

Perth homes are built differently from the east coast — double brick, rendered blockwork, Colorbond and tiled roofs, aluminium windows, and a lot of paving — and the light is harder and brighter. We model with the products WA builders actually use and light for a Perth sky, which is what makes a render look local rather than imported.

• Exterior and streetscape renders from A$445
• Interior renders from A$345
• 3D architectural animation from A$65 per second

Architectural visualisation Perth: R-Codes, DAs and development assessment panels

Residential development in WA is assessed against the Residential Design Codes (State Planning Policy 7.3), and most infill projects live or die on how they meet the street, the setbacks and the overshadowing rules. A realistic streetscape render — at pedestrian eye height, with the neighbours modelled from survey — shows a council planner or a Development Assessment Panel exactly that, and it helps a planner see the proposal in context. For larger projects that go to a DAP or the State Administrative Tribunal, verified views with documented camera positions and lenses are what the panel can rely on.

Apartment projects in Metronet station precincts and the activity centres — Cockburn Central, Canning Bridge, Subiaco, Leederville, Scarborough — are assessed against R-Codes Volume 2, and larger projects may go to design review. Ask your planner which applies. Renders that show the ground-floor interface, communal space and materiality do the heavy lifting there.

Who we render for in Perth

Volume and custom home builders selling from display villages in the northern and southern growth corridors, such as Alkimos, Ellenbrook and Baldivis. Infill developers across the middle suburbs. Apartment developers in the CBD, Subiaco and Cockburn Central. Architects and interior designers on prestige homes in the western suburbs, such as Cottesloe and Dalkeith, and on apartment projects in the inner suburbs. If you are planning a display-village or estate release, our guide for property developers covers the order the images work in.

Agents marketing knock-down-rebuilds and renovations from plans across the western suburbs and the riverside. Commercial landlords, retailers and industrial developers in Osborne Park, Welshpool and the other employment areas. Regional WA is handled from drawings the same way.

How we work with Perth clients

Perth keeps Australian Western Standard Time, UTC+8, and Western Australia does not observe daylight saving. That puts you two hours behind Sydney for most of the year and three hours behind from October to April: a nine o'clock start in Perth is eleven o'clock here, or midday in summer. We book briefing calls around that gap and write every time in AWST, so nothing is lost when the east coast changes its clocks. A draft sent at the end of our day reaches you in the middle of your afternoon, which leaves the evening to mark it up, and your comments are waiting when we start the next morning.

Everything starts from drawings: DWG, PDF, Revit, ArchiCAD or SketchUp files and the finishes schedule, plus, for a builder, the facade and colour schedule for each design. Site context comes from the survey, Nearmap and Landgate imagery, and, on a master-planned estate, from the design guidelines that apply to the lot. For verified views and drone composites we arrange a licensed WA drone operator for the backplate. Allow 5–7 business days for a typical set, with rush delivery in 48–72 hours (rush surcharge applies) for launches and lodgements; the turnaround guide shows what happens at each stage, and the briefing guide covers which files and details help most. Up to four revision rounds are included.

The model is built from WA products rather than a generic catalogue: Colorbond and tiled roofs, double brick and rendered blockwork, aluminium windows, limestone walls, paving and the fencing a Perth lot needs. Tell us the brick range, roof profile or window supplier your builder specifies and we match it, because a buyer standing in a display village will compare the picture with the real thing.

Perth suburbs and regions we render for

Inner and western suburbs (CBD, East Perth, Northbridge, Leederville, Subiaco, West Perth, Nedlands, Dalkeith, Claremont, Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove, Mosman Park, City Beach, Scarborough): design-review-assessed apartment projects in the activity centres, and prestige custom homes where the architect wants the render to settle cladding, glazing and pool decisions before the tender.

Northern corridor (Joondalup, Wanneroo, Ellenbrook, Alkimos, Yanchep, Butler, Clarkson, Karrinyup, Balga, Morley, Bayswater): builder display villages and facade ranges in the north-west growth area, and the duplex and triplex infill projects of Balga, Morley and Bayswater assessed under the R-Codes.

Southern and riverside (South Perth, Como, Applecross, Cannington, Bentley, Cockburn Central, Fremantle, Rockingham, Baldivis, Mandurah): riverside apartments and knock-down-rebuilds, Metronet station precinct projects at Cockburn Central and Canning Bridge, and the display villages of Baldivis and Mandurah.

Eastern and south-eastern (Midland, Byford, Piara Waters, Harrisdale, Canning Vale, Armadale): house-and-land estates and industrial pre-leasing around the Kwinana, Canning Vale and Welshpool employment areas.

Regional WA (Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Geraldton, Karratha) is handled from drawings at the same prices, with briefings in AWST.

Perth project types, from the portfolio

These six archive projects match the brief types most common in Perth. The builder facade range, six lot front views each showing the right house type with the fencing and planting from the planting plan, and the house types and street scenes set, three individual designs plus three street scenes taken from the site plan, are the estate-release and display-village brief: one consistent look across a whole street, which is how builders sell from display villages. The standard house type range in two cladding options is the range refresh, the same terraced, semi-detached and detached designs in a rendered finish and in timber, with identical cameras and light so the comparison is fair.

The single-storey courtyard house began as interiors for a renovation and gained its elevations once development approval came through, the order many owners follow: finishes first, street view after the planning decision. The industrial warehouse with site aerial gives a manufacturer front, rear and aerial views of a new building before construction, which is the industrial and employment-land brief. The home builder floor plan set, twenty-two furnished plans across ten house types, is the listing and brochure package a builder's marketing team orders alongside the facades.

What a Perth render costs

Published and fixed: exteriors from A$445, interiors from A$345, floor plans from A$445, aerials from A$795, animation from A$65 per second. Builders with a full facade range are quoted as a package, because each extra elevation of a design already modelled is a variant rather than a new render. Volume pricing from five images; 50% to start, 50% on approval of drafts. See the 3D rendering cost guide for the detail.
