As a client, how can you make sure you know what you’re getting before you have it built ?
At Hinman Construction, we believe there is no better way to understand and have a feel for new design than to see it in 3-D. Rather than having to rely on imagination to see if the bathroom door will be far enough away from the kitchenof if the cabinets should be in white or natural Cherry, 3-D allows you to virtually walk through your home before even approving any specs or designs.

Want to see that living room wall with bay windows? No problem. Want to check out the view from the window? Step right up. Changed your mind and now want no windows? Hold on a sec.Three-D design is a fast and efficient way to get involved in every part of the design process. When we design with you, the client — and present other, different or better options — you’ll be better equipped to make informed decisions on a design that’s perfect for you. How do you know if your contractor or designer works in 3-D? It’s always a good idea to ask when you’re interviewing potential candidates, and to take a look at their examples of drawings and 3-D presentations. Three-D design is becoming an industry standard, and finding a great professional who offers it should not be hard. The good news is…at Hinman Construction we do….we work in 3-D and present design options for all our projects.
Here are five reasons 3-D design can work for you.
Here are five reasons 3-D design can work for you.
1. Understanding traditional 2-D floor plans and elevations can be difficult. Many people can get the general idea from a floor plan but have trouble visualizing how the design is going to look. Being able to see and experience your design in 3-D will help you understand how it is going to work. The more you understand the look and feel of your design, the more comfortable you’ll be at making decisions.
2. Designs can change and evolve in real time, during meetings with your architect. Meetings are the best way to be included in the design process and to make sure nothing is overlooked.What does a design presentation in 3-D look like? It could be a fly-through video or multiple perspective views of your project. The most efficient and productive 3-D design meetings are in the conference room with everyone sitting around the flat-screen, walking through the project room by room. This usually always brings up design questions, and changes can be made to the model during the meeting for instant results.
3. Design review boards generally respond positively to presentations that include 3-D. Three-D to show how a building relates to the existing environment or to a neighbor’s home is a very powerful tool when you’re seeking design approval. I’ve had great success by rallying the support of neighbors when they can understand clearly how a building is going to look and feel compared to theirs.
4. Three-D design can help cut down on changes after construction has begun. Reducing the amount of changes during construction can help save time and money. But it can be hard to do until you really understand what the space will look and feel like, which is where 3-D design comes in.

5. It helps you avoid paying for work you don’t want. Having a clear understanding of your project before construction begins is the best method to significantly reduce the problem of unnecessary charges.With all that said, there is definitely no substitute for having an experienced contractor and designer who understands the permit process and building codes. While 3-D design can be helpful know that great designs do not come from computer programs. They come from design professionals who have spent countless hours designing, reviewing plans, improving details and listening to everything you want in your home.
