Featured Reviews for 3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley

studio M MERGE
3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 22, 2016
“Andrea designed a complete backyard remodel for us that involved extensive grading, hardscape and landscaping. The job turned out even better than expected and we constantly get accolades on the design. She chose the plants beautifully and 5 years out the yard looks better than ever and the plants have maintained and grown in even with restricted water use. I would highly recommend her and we plan to use her services again!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 30, 2016
“We worked with Urrutia Design on a complete home renovation. Jason and Martha listened to our ideas and translated them into their design aesthetic. Their cohesive design runs throughout the entire house and they incorporated our family's specific needs resulting in a more usable, beautiful space. We are thrilled with our new home!”
John Lum Architecture, Inc. AIA
3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 3, 2011
“We used John Lum Architecture for the complete remodel of ~1000 sq ft in San Francisco. John and team were fantastic to work with. Very creative yet good at listening to our thoughts and integrating our ideas. They understand how to both design a gorgeous contemporary space while still keeping it comfortable and livable. We depended on them with a lot of design detail recommendations such as fixtures, paint, tiles and they always had great suggestions that made the process much simpler and easy to manage. They are very professional, extremely responsive and timely. There were no surprises during the entire process including on deadlines and budgets. I would strongly recommend them.”

Lorin Hill, Architect
3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 12, 2014
“We were terrified to finally remodel. Now we're halfway through the job, and I'm wondering how it could possibly be going so well? The answer: Lorin Hill, Architect, and his team. Ours is not a small job - we've excavated a basement; moved the kitchen, downstairs powder room, laundry room (which went from 1st to 2nd floor); and moved a lot of walls and reconfigured closets to dramatically improve our space. We didn't know where to bookend the project, and could see endless options for how to improve our home. We interviewed multiple architects - familiar names that had signs up on the best streets. It was immediately clear that Lorin was the architect for us - he took in the important character of the home (and setting/land, neighboring homes, and street), he saw how we could shape the project to make the most of our resources and opportunities, and his communication style was unmatched by larger and smaller specialty firms alike. He's insightful, funny, has decades of experience in his craft, and (this is where Lorin really hits it out of the park) his design eye is so excellent that he is saving us from hiring a host of other professionals to make our finished result truly sing. In some ways I'd love to keep Lorin Hill our little secret - I can count on only one hand the service providers that so exceed my expectations that their fees don't seem high enough for what they provide (note the design comment above, and he's smoothed enough husband/wife remodel debates - helping us each see logic - that we'll happily enjoy our home for years to come, marriage intact). If you're lucky enough to find Lorin Hill with a space in his schedule that fits your project, grab it. If we ever win the lottery and have unlimited funds, we'll be back to take up all the rest of Lorin's time.”

HEYDT DESIGNS
3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 21, 2012
“Leigha Heydt was our second architect hired for our project. The first didn't work out due to lack of understanding each others goals and budget. Leigha was a breath of fresh air in every way. She took out the intimidation factor in our first remodel experience. We immediately loved her straight forward honest approach and her knowledge of building a home (she has contractor experience). She was quick at assesing our needs and got straight to work on our plans. The plans were extremely professional with meticulous details that made every process after (finding contractors, engineers, etc and getting town approval) a breeze. Leigha understood us and always steered us in a realistic direction to keep to our goal. She has a very keen eye for use of space and pleasing design... that is timeless and functional. I can not say enough about Leigha, she is very talented, a great architect. Our entire house was dated with a small, closed in kitchen and no master bedroom. Our house is absolutely fantastic now with an open big kitchen, amazing master suite and a beautiful flow throughout. We chose a more modern style that is very family friendly. Leigha was right there with every resource - websites, places to find every last detail needed in our home. Again, I can't say enough- she's an amazing architect and communicator, she's thorough, always on time, wealth of resources and the calm in what could be an overwhelming experience. She's the best!”
Sogno Design Group
3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMarch 29, 2014
“Kathy Rogers and her team at Sogno Design Group created a fabulous design for my kitchen. She listened well and incorporated the features most important to me. She provided 3 conceptual designs that were all great options. After I chose one she guided me through the decisions I had to make and the resulting design was a significant improvement. I now have a beautiful kitchen. Kathy was a pleasure to work with. Notes: the project cost below is for Sogno services only. The construction and appliances cost significant more. Architecture services were approximately 10% of the total. The photos attached are by homeowner and include some old furniture that will be replaced.”
Koch Architects
3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 29, 2014
“I just completed a complete remodel of my San Francisco Edwardian flat and build out my basement. Joanne and her staff did a fantastic job. It started out as a kitchen bath remodel, but once the design process started expanded to include every room as we discussed how different spaces would be used and what I didn't like about the current space after living with it for 20yrs. Might as well do it right! Joanne's attention to detail, listening, and high ethical standards are unmatched. She would listen in the meetings and ask questions then come back with some ideas and sketches to get my reaction. She knew what I wanted without me even knowing it. She was also sensitive to the project budget which was important. I was able to complete the project within my budget. She was also key to working with the general contractor. She brought with her experience in projects of my scope / scale and working with different contractors and even her own remodel. This helped immensely. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Koch Architects again.”
Saikley Architects
3D Rendering Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 20, 2015
“We worked with Alexandra for a rebuild of our home, upgrading it from a 3bd/1.5 bath to a 4bd/3.5bath while adding a second floor and changing the layout of the house dramatically. We chose Alexandra based on two critical expectations: that she would be good to work with (after all, you spend countless hours with your architect on a very expensive project), and that she would share our philosophy regarding the importance of combining form and function in house design. We were very lucky to have chosen her. Alexandra indeed spent countless hours with us. She paid careful attention to our wishes and needs. She worked patiently through every detail of the house, helping us maximize not only our living space but also important functional aspects of the house. From beautifully located and proportioned stairs to storage for kids backpacks under an entryway bench and built-in cabinets to roof segments and their slopes, everything was thoughtful, detailed, and practical. Alexandra also showed great professional and personal skill in navigating the permitting process, developing a good relationship with the city’s planning department that allowed us to enjoy all the benefits of the zoning code. She was always ready to help and mediate successfully when issues inevitably came up with our contractor. She followed through with everything she said she would in an even, friendly, and professional manner. We are delighted with our home and, truth be told, also take joy in the many compliments we get from anybody who visits our home or even passes by it. Alexandra was wonderful and we can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration of a 3D rendering project can vary widely depending on its complexity, the level of detail required, and the specific requirements of the homeowner. A basic single-room interior design project might take a few days to complete, whereas a comprehensive exterior and interior visualization of a large residential property could take several weeks. Initial consultations and revisions can also affect the timeline. Clear communication and defined expectations are key to keeping projects on schedule.
Material and design trend selection typically involves collaboration between the homeowner, the 3D rendering company, and possibly an interior designer or architect. The rendering company brings expertise in what is visually appealing and technically feasible, incorporating current design trends and the homeownerʼs personal taste. Additionally, these companies often have extensive libraries of textures, finishes, and fixtures to accurately match real-world materials.
Homeowners should gather as much information as possible about their project, including dimensions, floor plans, photos of the existing space, and any inspirational images or materials they wish to incorporate. Having a clear objective and understanding your personal style preferences will streamline the process. Also, preparing a list of questions and expectations for the initial meeting can help ensure your vision is accurately understood.
Common challenges, such as communication issues, design alterations, and unrealistic expectations, are best addressed through proactive management. A reputable 3D rendering company will set clear timelines, offer regular updates, and maintain open lines of communication. Using project management tools and 3D previews can facilitate feedback loops and adjustments before finalizing the renders. Transparency regarding what can realistically be achieved within budget constraints is crucial.
While there are no universally required certifications for 3D rendering services, certifications in architectural visualization, such as those from recognized software providers (e.g., Autodesk Certified Professional) or industry organizations (e.g., the American Institute of Architects), can be a good indicator of a companyʼs expertise and commitment to quality. Also, check for a companyʼs professional affiliations and any awards they may have received for their work.
Ensuring your vision is accurately translated involves clear communication from the start. Provide detailed information and references about your desired outcome. Engage in the design process by reviewing preliminary sketches or models, and donʼt hesitate to offer feedback.
