3D-Printed Architectural & Building Models

It's your building. The model is printed from the project's actual Revit/BIM model — massing, proportions, and structure true to the drawings. That accuracy is the difference between a keepsake of your project and a generic tower off a shelf.

Yes. I'm an architectural scale model maker, and I print from the real design model rather than building by hand. Architectural mini models, the miniature building models teams keep on a desk, a boardroom shelf, or an interview table, print in one piece up to about 12″ × 12″; larger models are printed in multiple passes. Either way, the model comes from your Revit model, or from a Revit model I build from your drawings and photos, so the proportions match the real design.

Yes — every model I print is a custom 3D-printed building model, a true replica of your building, built from a real Revit model of your building, yours or one I build from your drawings and photos. Tell me the building, and I'll confirm size, colors, and any personalization — project name, team names, a logo — in your estimate.

Ideally the Revit or BIM model of your building — I print directly from the real design model, and if I'm already doing your animation or BIM coordination, I likely have everything I need. No model? Send photos, elevations, or drawings — even a single good picture of the building — and I'll build the model from scratch before printing. Modeling time is quoted up front in your estimate. I keep the source model on file, so a repeat order or an additional copy down the line doesn't mean starting over — you keep the printed piece.

No model is no problem — send me your drawings, elevations, or even good photos, and I'll build the Revit model before printing. Because modeling the building is the larger share of that work, a model built from scratch costs more than one where I already have a file to print from, whatever the building type or size. Answer the questions in the estimator above and I'll email you both numbers for your specific project. Once a model exists, full-size copies start at 50% off, and smaller 6-inch copies run about 70% off — priced on your written estimate, with additional discounts at 5+ and 10+ copies.

Yes — photos or plans of the home are enough to get started; you don't need a file already prepared. Closing gifts start at $500 when you have the home's 3D file. A 10-inch model built from photos or plans is $800, no file needed. An engraved base with the address, a name, or the closing date is included, and your logo can be added from a vector file at no extra charge. See closing gifts for realtors and lenders for the full price breakdown.

A single-piece print runs up to about 12″ × 12″ — sized to sit on a desk, a boardroom shelf, or an interview table. Bigger projects are split and printed in multiple passes, up to roughly 36″ × 36″, for a full building or a full-team set. Tell me your project and I'll confirm what fits.

It depends on the finish. Single Color and Full Color print the windows in, straight from your Revit model, in the same place and proportions as your real drawings: open cutouts in Single Color, open cutouts or dark panels in Full Color. Full Color + Acrylic Windows adds tinted, see-through acrylic panels set behind the facade that read like real glass, quoted on a formal estimate. None of the models use real glass.

Yes. Every model ships on a custom display base with your project name and company branding, and personalization is part of the point — team members' names and titles, milestone dates, even a removable tower crane. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll include it in the estimate.

Plan on 2–6 weeks depending on the size of the model, the finish, and my current workload. Some projects need filament ordered in specific colors, and larger multi-section or Full Color + Acrylic Windows models take longer. Tell me your deadline up front and I'll confirm the schedule before you commit.

Different tool for a different job. A model shop builds a presentation piece by hand — museum-grade detail, weeks of work, priced so you get exactly one and it sits in a lobby. Mine come straight out of your Revit model, so the geometry is accurate to what's actually being built, and they cost little enough that you can hand one to everyone in the room and leave it with them. If you want a hand-finished centerpiece with individual mullions and landscaping, hire a model shop — that's what they're excellent at. If you want something accurate, fast, and yours to give away, that's this.

Standard 12-inch models start at $500 for single-family homes and $1,500 for mid- and high-rise buildings when you supply the model. Building the model from scratch from drawings or photos adds to that. For your exact number, answer a few quick questions in the estimator above and you'll get an instant estimate. These prices are a fraction of what a hand-built model shop charges, since these come off a printer instead of being built by hand over weeks. Full-size copies start at 50% off, and smaller 6-inch copies run about 70% off — priced on your written estimate, with additional discounts at 5+ and 10+ copies. Most teams order a set so everyone from the owner to the superintendent gets one. Request an estimate with your project and date, and you'll hear back within one business day.
