Architectural Render Price Calculator

How Is an Architectural Render Priced?

In architectural visualisation, most of the budget goes not into a single image but into the 3D modelling beneath it. Once the model exists, every additional frame, angle or 360° point costs far less to produce. That is why the estimate has two layers: modelling first, then outputs.

1. What drives the modelling cost

• Project type: a single villa, a multi-block housing complex and a mixed-use development do not take the same effort.
• Existing 3D model: if you already have a usable model, only scene setup and rendering are needed; modelling from scratch is the largest line item.
• Floor count: as a building rises, facade work, floor repetition and landscaping grow more complex.
• Number of blocks: every distinct building is modelled separately.

2. Outputs are priced per unit

Exterior renders are priced per frame, interiors by both the number of distinct rooms and the camera angles within them, 360° tours per viewpoint, and 3D floor plans per furnished plan. Animation differs sharply between a short AI-assisted clip and a full 3D CGI production.

Why a range instead of one number?

The calculator assumes a straightforward project at standard scale. Architectural complexity, facade detail, the number of revision rounds, delivery time and the quality of the drawings you send all move the final figure. The result is therefore an approximate range and not a binding offer. The exact price is stated in the proposal once your DWG, PDF or 3D files have been reviewed. All amounts exclude VAT; VAT is shown on a separate line.
