Computer Generated Images of Home Extensions: Visualise Your Future Home
Computer generated images of home extensions are an essential tool for bringing your ideas to life. These visuals help you see exactly how your space will look, making it easier to make confident design choices. At Fluent, we specialise in creating realistic CGIs that provide a clear understanding of your plans, ensuring your extension matches your vision. Whether you’re building a new space or planning a loft conversion, these images can make a significant difference in your project’s success.
Why Use Computer Generated Images for Home Extensions?
CGIs are invaluable when designing home extensions, as they make it easier to visualise layouts and details. They also help prevent misunderstandings with builders. For example, a 2D plan might not clearly show the height of an opening, leading to mistakes during construction. With CGIs, every detail is clear. Builders can see exactly what you want, reducing the risk of costly errors.
Single-storey extensions are easier to understand when you can see how much space is around a kitchen island or dining table. For loft conversions, CGIs are even more helpful. Sloped roofs and unusual angles make it difficult to imagine how the finished space will look. With computer generated images, you can confidently decide whether to add one large master suite or two smaller bedrooms.
Planning and Neighbour Relations
CGIs can also play a vital role in easing concerns from neighbours. Visuals help show how your extension will look and reassure them it won’t block light or disrupt their property. This can lead to smoother planning approvals and better relationships.
For instance, one of our clients used CGIs to show their neighbours the minimal impact of their rear extension. This not only improved neighbour relations but also ensured the planning process went smoothly.
Making Informed Design Choices
Computer generated images of home extensions are also useful for exploring different design options. One client couldn’t decide whether to place their kitchen in the rear extension or keep it in the original dining area. By creating CGIs for both layouts, they were able to make an informed decision. Similarly, CGIs help loft conversion clients visualise how spaces under sloped roofs will look, ensuring their choices make the most of the available space.
Boosting Property Sales with CGIs
CGIs aren’t just helpful for designing extensions. They can also be a powerful tool when selling a property. For example, homeowners planning to sell often use CGIs to showcase the potential of a home with approved extensions. These images help buyers understand what’s possible, making the property more appealing.
We’ve also worked with clients marketing new builds. By using CGIs during construction, they could advertise the property on websites like Rightmove before the build was finished. This strategy saves time and generates interest in the project early on.
Using Existing Plans to Create CGIs
If you already have 2D plans, we can convert them into computer generated images. Although it’s easier for us to work from plans we’ve created, we can redraw existing ones using advanced 3D software. This ensures high-quality visuals, even if your original architect doesn’t offer CGI services.
Are Computer Generated Images Expensive?
The cost of CGIs depends on the complexity of your project. At Fluent, external views of a house start at £400 + VAT per view, while internal views start at £200 + VAT per view. While this may seem like an investment, it can save thousands in the long run by preventing costly changes during construction.
For example, spending £400 on CGIs can help you avoid misunderstandings with builders or unexpected design issues. By visualising your plans, you’ll feel confident your extension will meet your needs and expectations.
