Architectural Renderings, Built From Your Drawings
Send me a PDF, a CAD file, a SketchUp model, images, or even a simple hand sketch, and I'll turn it into a photorealistic exterior rendering — no finished 3D model required. If you've already got a Revit or architectural model, that works too.
Once your files are in hand and the job's confirmed, you'll have a high-resolution rendering back in 3–5 days, or 72 hours with rush.

Exterior 3D Architectural Renderings
Photorealistic views of the finished building — the hero image that sells your project to owners, investors, and selection committees. Whether you call it architectural rendering, building rendering, or project rendering, the deliverable is the same: your design, shown the way it will look built. Based in Nashville, working with architects and developers nationwide.

What I Need From You
No finished 3D model required. Send whatever you've got:
- → A SketchUp file
- → A CAD file
- → A PDF drawing set
- → Images or photos
- → A simple hand drawing
- → Or, if you have one, a Revit / architectural model
The more complete the source, the more accurate the rendering — but you don't need a finished model to start. Tell me what you have and I'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
Need the model first? I can build the architectural Revit model, then render it. Every Revit model I build includes two exterior renderings at no extra charge.
Who This Is For
Architects without an in-house viz team
Your firm designed it — I make it look built. Send your drawings or model and get back a rendering ready for the proposal, the board, or the client meeting.
Developers who need a marketing or investor image
A single striking rendering often gives a deck, a listing, or a project website what it needs, without the cost of a full animation.
Owners planning before an architect is engaged
Have a concept, a sketch, or a rough plan and want to see it? A rendering turns that into something you can hold up and react to before the design is locked.
Why Work With Me
3–5 days from kickoff, or 72 hours with rush — once your files are in hand and the job's confirmed, for any input, model or not.
From-drawings flexibility.
I build from whatever you actually have — a PDF, a CAD file, SketchUp, images, or a sketch.
Construction-accurate, because it comes from a VDC background.
10+ years in construction and VDC, including 4 on-site, means the geometry reads as buildable, not just pretty.
US-based and direct.
You work with me directly — no offshore hand-off, no account manager relay.
3–5 days, or 72 hours with rush.
Once your files are in hand and the job's confirmed, that's the standard clock — for any input, model or not.

How It Works
-
1
Send me what you have
a PDF, CAD file, SketchUp model, images, a sketch, or a Revit model.
-
2
I build & light the scene
your building rendered in photorealistic detail and context.

one round to refine angle, lighting, and emphasis.
-
4
Final delivery
high-resolution images, ready to present, in 3–5 days from kickoff, or 72 hours with rush.
What You Get
- → Photorealistic exterior renderings, built from whatever you send — PDF, CAD, SketchUp, a sketch, or a model
- → Your building shown in real context — site, surroundings, lighting, materials
- → Marketing- and presentation-ready stills, delivered in high resolution
- → Exterior focus — the views that sell a project to owners, investors, and selection committees
What a Rendering Is — and Isn't
A rendering depicts your design — the drawings, model, or sketch you send me — for presentation and marketing. Build Virtual is not a licensed architect or engineer, and a rendering is not a construction document or a substitute for architectural or engineering review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What files do you need to make a rendering?
A SketchUp file, a CAD file, a PDF drawing set, images or photos, a simple hand drawing, or a Revit/architectural model — whatever you have is a fine starting point.
How fast can you deliver a rendering?
3–5 days from kickoff, standard — once your files are in hand and the job is confirmed, whether you're sending a model, drawings, or a sketch. Need it faster? A 72-hour rush is available.
Do you offer revisions?
Yes — one round to refine angle, lighting, and emphasis is built into every rendering.
Do you offer interior renderings?
I focus on exterior renderings — the views that sell a project to owners, investors, and selection committees.
How much does a rendering cost?
Renderings start at $500 each. Additional views from the same model are $400 each, and a 72-hour rush is +$250 per rendering. One revision round is included. Request an estimate and you'll hear back within one business day.
Can you make a rendering from just a sketch or photo, with no 3D model?
Yes — a PDF, CAD file, SketchUp file, images, or a simple hand drawing are all accepted starting points; a finished 3D model isn't required.
Client Results
In Our Clients' Words
“Build Virtual hits it out of the park for us every single time! The renderings and videos give us an edge in both the proposal and interview phase. Build Virtual is our go-to.”
Exclusive & Confidential
Exclusive to your pursuit
I work with one team per pursuit, never with a competitor chasing the same job. Engagements are reserved first come, first served — so if a pursuit is on your horizon, reach out early to lock in your spot.
Confidential by default
The renderings and animations I produce give you an edge in the interview room, so I keep our work and our relationship confidential unless you give me permission to share. Your competitors won't hear it from me.
