Architectural Model Specifications & Briefs

Whether you’re are an architect, property developer or someone needing to have an architectural model produced for that important project, you instantly start to recall your last experience!

What did or do you know about having an architectural model made? What’s the right type of materials to use, how should I light it for maximum effect, what’s the best scale for purpose, acrylic case or not, there are just so many questions that need answering.

Architectural models require specialist knowledge, time and effort to achieve a first class architectural model which will impress and continue to impress months and years later, unlike so many architectural models that start curling at the edges almost from the day they are delivered.

In most cases the client will be guided by either the architect or architectural model makers they have instructed but without any specialist assistance the client is in no position to make and informed decision, positive for the project or not?  

If you don’t have the time, knowledge or resources then this is where SMA design model making consultancy proves invaluable.
