A development project runs in an order, and every stage leans on the one before it. You find land and run the numbers: what the zoning allows, what the market will pay, what it costs to build, and whether the margin survives the carrying costs. If the site needs more density than the zoning allows, you hire an architect and a planning consultant and start a rezoning. That means staff meetings, revisions, a public process and a council vote. In BC, recent provincial changes have altered when public hearings are required and how small-scale multi-unit housing is permitted, so check with your municipality early.
Once the land use is settled, the design moves through a development permit and then a building permit. At the same time you are lining up construction financing, and most lenders want to see a meaningful share of the homes presold before they fund. That puts marketing and sales on the critical path long before a shovel goes in. In BC, you file a disclosure statement with the regulator before you market and sell, and there are specific rules about marketing before a building permit or financing is in place.
Then you launch: brand, website, renderings, film, a sales centre, a price list and a broker program. Construction starts, buyers wait, and you manage amendments, completion dates and deposits. At the end come occupancy, strata registration, handover, deficiencies and warranty. Across all of it, your job is the same: keep a dozen outside firms pointed at one version of the project, and keep the money moving.
Your renderer, web agency, sales-centre installer, marketing firm and architect each keep their own files. Every handoff is an email, and every email is a chance for the wrong version to travel.
We make the visuals, the tours and the sales-centre content, and they all run from one record in StudioLink. The approved file is the file everyone uses.
More →The design changed in the development permit round, but the launch renderings were made from the earlier set. Now your ads show a balcony that isn't in the permit drawings, which is a disclosure problem, not just an embarrassment.
We build every image from a named drawing set and log it on the order, so when the design changes we can tell you which images need updating before they go out.
More →Someone said yes on a phone call. Six weeks later nobody can prove who approved the colour scheme, and the argument costs a revision round.
An extra view here, a night version there. Each one is small, and together they break the budget with no paper trail.
Every job starts with a scope and an estimate you see before we begin. A change is a new line you accept, not a surprise on the invoice.
More →Staff and neighbours will challenge a view that flatters the building. If they catch one, they stop trusting the rest of the package.
We build eye-height views from the true 3D model and present every round through CityLink, which is live for council presentations.
More →With three projects at different stages, you learn about a slipped deadline from a vendor's apology, not from a dashboard.
StudioLink Manage shows projects, tasks, orders and spend in one place, across every project you have.
More →Land value, permit timelines and pro forma assumptions live in one person's files, disconnected from the project they describe.
DeveloperLink is coming: land value, permits and feasibility on the same record. Today, your project record starts at the first order.
More →A clear brief, fast decisions and one channel for feedback, so they aren't redrawing to satisfy three people's emails.
Drawings on schedule, and a design that holds its shape through permits.
Markups pin to the image, so the architect sees one consolidated set of comments instead of a forwarded chain. See how architects work with us.
Accurate context views they can put in a report without caveats.
Advice that anticipates what staff will ask for, before the submission.
Consultants comment on the same record as the design team, and their requested views are ordered and tracked like any other job.
Honest views from where people actually stand, and a clear account of what changed between rounds.
A fair hearing and a predictable timeline.
CityLink keeps each round and presents it in chamber from one link. Structured neighbour feedback is coming.
Approved images, early, in every format they'll use.
A campaign that sells what you are actually building.
The agency draws from the approved library, so nothing unapproved reaches an ad.
Current inventory, pricing and material they can send today.
Presales that satisfy your lender, and deposits that stick.
Tours and the sales centre show the approved set. Inventory, pricing and leads in SalesLink are coming, and will sync with Spark or Avesdo.
The same finish schedule the buyers were sold.
A home delivered as marketed, with few deficiencies.
The approved finishes stay on the record. Deficiency tracking after handover is coming.
You order at the level you need: Model Only, Essentials, Premium or Interactive. We send an estimate in StudioLink. You accept it with our terms of engagement.
We build a true 3D model from the architect's drawings. Everything we make comes from that model, which is why the images agree with each other.
Context views, eye-height views and shadow studies, presented through CityLink. Each round is kept.
Seasonal refreshes and AI-assisted variations from the same scene. AI changes light, season and styling. It never changes the building.
HomeLink, DeficiencyLink and StrataLink are coming, so the record continues to the owners and the strata.
Earlier than most do. You need accurate views for the rezoning or development permit, and the same model then carries into launch. Ordering at the rezoning stage means the launch set is an update, not a rebuild.
Architectural drawings (plans, elevations and sections), a site plan, and any landscape or interior direction you have. A CAD or BIM file speeds things up. If the design is early, we can start from what exists and update as it develops.
It depends on the number of views, the level of detail, how much landscape and interior work is involved, and how many revision rounds you need. We don't publish prices. Read what drives rendering cost, then ask for a scope.
In BC, developers must file a disclosure statement before marketing, and there are specific conditions for marketing before a building permit or financing is in place. The rules differ in other provinces and states. Check with your lawyer and the regulator before launch.
They should. A rendering is part of how you represent the home to a buyer, and a mismatch can cause disputes at completion. That is why we build from the drawings and show which set each image came from.
Yes. Every project sits on one screen, with its orders, scope, tasks and spend. Each project has its own team and access.
No. SalesLink is coming and will connect to the CRM you use, including Spark and Avesdo. Today we make the tours and sales-centre content that your sales team uses.
No. You accept an estimate and our terms of engagement inside StudioLink, then pay deposits and invoices in the same place.
