What we render

Project types


The details

More than a building


  • Day & twilight

    The same view in bright daylight or warm dusk light, whichever sells the story best.

  • Aerial & eye-level

    Street-level approaches or elevated, bird’s-eye angles that show the property in its full site.

  • Landscaping & context

    Planting, hardscape, cars, and surroundings that make the render feel real, not staged.

Pricing

Beyond the render

Detailed drawings & documentation


Need more than the visuals? Alongside your renders we can deliver measured site and floor plans, landscaping layouts, and annotated elevations with materials and finishes, so the whole project is documented in one place. These are quoted with your project. See Floor Plans, Elevations & Permit Sets.

Why Sayo Designs

Exteriors that sell the project


  • Light that reads as real

    We get the sun angle, shadows, and materials right, so the render looks photographed, not computed.

  • You work with the designer

    Direct communication from first sketch to final frame. No account managers.

  • Fast, on a fair clock

    Sketches in 4 days, final renders 1 to 2 days after you approve. The clock pauses while we await feedback.

Exterior rendering FAQs


What do you need to start an exterior rendering?

Elevations, a site plan or floor plan, your exterior finishes, and a few reference images. If the building only exists as concept drawings, that is enough for us to begin.

How much does a 3D exterior rendering cost?

Exteriors are quoted per project, starting at $499. The final price depends on the number of views, the scale of the building, and whether you need aerial shots or day-and-twilight versions.

How fast will I get my exterior renders?

We send first sketches within 4 working days and final renders within 1 to 2 days of your sign-off. The clock pauses while we wait on your feedback.

Can you render a building that hasn’t been built yet?

Yes. Rendering from drawings, before construction, is exactly what exterior visualization is for. We build the model from your plans and elevations.

Do you offer day and twilight versions?

Yes. Twilight and dusk renders are a popular marketing option, and we can deliver the same view in both daytime and evening light.

Can you do aerial or bird’s-eye views?

Yes. Aerial and elevated camera angles are available and are useful for showing a property in its full site and surroundings.

Do you render residential and commercial?

Both. Single-family homes, multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use developments are all within scope.

What resolution and formats do I receive?

High-resolution JPG and PNG files, sized for presentations, listings, and print.
