    HI all, im a qualified building surveyor and i have a quick qeury regarding 3d visualisations for planning applications.
    I know 3d "photos" are not required by planning fo say one off houses and the like but i was wondering if people in the business of compiling applications what they think of submitting 3d photographic visualisations of the dwelling.

    1. Do you think it would be advantageous to your application?
    2. Do you currently submit 3d visualisations with your applications?

    Any other views or suggestions? if so feel free to add!

    It can be advantageous - we do it sometimes - case by case basis

    generally only done 'on demand' of planning authority, but can be done on request from client...

    it is beneficial if the building envelope is not 'standard' and 2d drawings do not translate the form of the building...

    Cheers for the quick replies lads.

    Sinnerboy.... i was wondering do you do the 3d's in-house or sub them out to another firm?

    I agree with both your posts, as both you suggest its not the norm but can be beneficial in certain circumstances.
    Basically, i can do these 3d visualisations and they look quite realistic when rendered and touched up in photoshop, so before i start offering my services to architects and surveyors i just wanted to know of other peoples thoughts.

    Perhaps there isn't a great demand for this.. so wont be giving up the day job... but would be a nice little side earner???

    We got this done because it was going to Bord Pleanala, honestly I don't know it a made a damn bit of difference - we just covered as many of the bases as we could - and it worked.

    Actually what we did was get photos of the site, then inserted the 3D image into the photos (all done by a professional CAD and photoshop guy - a former colleague), our architect was impressed anyway!

    simple downloads like google sketch up can produce super images with a little practice.

    can't see people paying extra for it unless its actually requested from a CoCo...
