Architectural and Building Control 3D Visualisation Service
At Select Interiors, we offer a 3D visualisation service that utilises advanced 3D software to create graphics + render designs. This service, also known as 3D modeling, is particularly useful for floor plans + interior design projects as it allows for a more detailed + accurate representation of the final design than traditional 2D plans.
Our 3D visualisation service is an excellent tool for those who are unsure of what they want in their new space. With our service, you’ll be able to see exactly how your space will look, giving you a better understanding of the final product + helping you make more informed decisions.
3D Model Printing Service
3D printing is an architectural and building control process in which a three-dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material, such as plastic or metal, using a computer-controlled printer. This process is similar to the manual modeling techniques used in plastic arts, such as sculpting.
This technology is increasingly being used by architects + interior designers to communicate the layout of an interior space. With the help of 3D printing, Select Interiors can provide a 3D printed model service to bring your 2D plans to life, allowing you to better visualize + understand the final product.

What are 3D visualisations?
3D visualisations are computer-generated images or animations that depict a three-dimensional representation of a proposed design or structure. They are used to give a more realistic and interactive view of a space or object, allowing clients to better understand the look and feel of a design before it is built. 3D visualisations can be used to showcase the interior and exterior of buildings, landscapes, products, and more, and they can be created using various tools and software such as 3D modelling, animation, and rendering programs.
What is useful to look out for when instructing a commercial designer?
When instructing a commercial designer, it is useful to consider the following:
Objectives: Clearly communicate your goals and desired outcome for the project.
Brand guidelines: Provide any existing brand guidelines or style preferences to ensure consistency in the design.
Target audience: Consider the target audience and what will appeal to them in terms of design and messaging.
Budget and timeline: Discuss the budget and timeline for the project and ensure the designer is aware of any constraints.
Reference materials: Provide any reference materials or inspiration for the design, such as examples of similar designs you admire.
Feedback and revisions: Clearly communicate your expectations for feedback and revisions during the design process.
Final deliverables: Specify the final deliverables you require, such as files in specific formats or resolution.
By keeping these points in mind, you can ensure a smooth and productive design process with clear expectations and outcomes.
