For builders and general contractors.

Drawings your team can build from. Sign-off in VR before a wall is framed.

What you're up against

  • Plans that need interpretation halfway through framing
  • Five-figure change orders from late-stage client decisions
  • Trade coordination errors discovered in the field
  • Client expectations that don't match what's drawn

What we deliver to you

  • Builder-ready architectural + interior CDs in Revit / BIM, fully coordinated
  • Photoreal pre-build visualization the client signs off on in VR — change orders effectively eliminated
  • FOH/BOH coordination on commercial work; MEP-coordinated drawing sets
  • On-call design support during construction (RFIs answered same-day)
  • Selections, FF&E, and submittal review handled in our shop, returned to your schedule
Engagement model Most builders engage us either project-by-project or as a preferred design + visualization partner with a master service agreement. We white-label deliverables under your firm where requested.

For multifamily, condo, mixed-use, and spec developers.

Photoreal pre-sale visualization that sells units before they exist — and design that ages with the asset.

What you're up against

  • Pre-sales stalled because buyers can't visualize the unit
  • Sales-center renderings that don't match the final build
  • Brokers asking for collateral the marketing team can't produce
  • Amenity floors and lobbies that look like every other project

What we deliver to you

  • Pre-sale photoreal exteriors, unit interiors, amenity floors, and lobby renderings
  • Cinematic flythroughs and 360° walkthroughs for the sales center and broker decks
  • Model unit interior architecture, FF&E, and full visualization
  • Branded marketing assets — print, web, social — coordinated with the design language
  • Live web-based 3D unit configurators for buyers to spec their finishes
Engagement model Master service agreement covering one tower, master-planned community, or development pipeline. We integrate with your marketing and brokerage teams from entitlement onward.

For listing agents, brokerages, and real estate firms.

Win listings with renderings of the home's potential. Close faster with photoreal staging.

What you're up against

  • A tired property that's been on the market too long
  • A buyer who can't see past the current finishes
  • Pitching against a comp with newer finishes
  • An empty home that doesn't photograph well

What we deliver to you

  • Virtual renovation renderings — show what the home could be, room by room
  • Photoreal virtual staging for empty or dated interiors
  • "What if" exterior renderings for additions, ADUs, or full remodels
  • Listing-ready visualization packages (still set + 360° + short flythrough)
  • Buyer-side pre-purchase visualization so clients can commit with confidence
Engagement model Per-listing packages or a brokerage-wide retainer with turnaround SLAs. Co-branded deliverables when it helps your pitch.

For architecture firms and design practices.

In-house-grade visualization without the in-house headcount. Or full interior partnership when scope expands.

What you're up against

  • Renderings that don't match the design intent
  • A client who needs the project explained, not presented
  • An interior package the firm doesn't do — and shouldn't outsource blind
  • A presentation deadline that an outside studio won't hit

What we deliver to you

  • Photoreal renderings, animation, and VR from your Revit/SketchUp/Rhino model
  • BIM coordination and CD production support when your team is over capacity
  • Full interior architecture, FF&E, and material palette in lockstep with your design
  • Co-presented walkthroughs in our LA, SD, Dallas, or Austin studios — or remote VR sessions
  • Selection, procurement, and on-site coordination so your team stays in design
Engagement model Sub-consultant or co-prime on a per-project basis. Confidentiality agreements and IP handling are standard.

Drafting + Visualization, from one model

The drawing your GC builds from, the render your buyer signs off on — same source.

Most firms produce drawings, then re-model for rendering — which is how design drift happens. Our digital-twin workflow means the construction documents and the photoreal visualization share a single source. What you approve in VR is what your trades build.

How partnership works

From handshake to sign-off in five stages.

A clean engagement structure that scales from a single render commission to a master service agreement covering a builder's annual pipeline.

01

Intake & scoping

30-minute call with your team. We learn the project, schedule, and integration model. NDA in place if needed before any drawings cross.

02

Proposal & partnership terms

Scoped proposal — services, deliverables, milestones, fees, IP terms — back within 5 business days. Master service agreement template for ongoing partners.

03

Kickoff & capture

Site capture (LiDAR/photogrammetry/survey), client/end-user interviews, and BIM model setup in week one.

04

Design, draft, visualize in parallel

Architecture, interiors, drafting, and visualization run in coordinated workstreams from the same model — not sequentially.

05

VR sign-off & handoff

Client walks the project in photoreal VR before construction. Drawings, schedules, and visualization assets handed off to your build and marketing teams.

Engagement models

Three ways to work together.

Choose the engagement that fits the deal. We move between models as the relationship deepens.

Per-engagement

Project-based

One project at a time. Defined scope, fixed-fee or T&M structure, NDA standard. Best for first-time partners and high-stakes one-offs.

Ongoing

Preferred-partner MSA

Master service agreement covering a defined pipeline (a tower, a community, a builder's annual production). Reserved capacity, faster turnaround, blended rate.

Embedded

White-label / co-branded

Deliverables produced under your firm's brand. We become the design + visualization arm your client never sees — or your co-prime if they should.

Why partner with Vividly Built

What you get that you don't get elsewhere.

One model, every deliverable

The plans, the renderings, the VR scene, and the FF&E schedule all come out of the same Revit/BIM source. No drift, no remodel-for-render.

Builder-ready handoff

Drawings your GC can build from without interpretation. We've shipped CDs to the largest luxury builders in California — they don't need a second pass.

Zero-change-order philosophy

Field-driven change orders commonly cost 5–10× the same scope priced up front. Resolving design in a digital twin and signing off in VR is how we keep that number near zero.

Patent pending technology

Our digital-twin + VR sign-off workflow is patent pending. You get the methodology, not just the output.

Multi-studio footprint

Studios in Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, and Austin. In-region capacity for site visits, sales-center installations, and client walkthroughs.

Trade-only sourcing & procurement

Holland & Sherry, Antolini, Boffi, Henrybuilt, and 100+ other trade-only resources we draw on every project.

Questions

Partner FAQs.

Do you charge per project or on retainer?

Both. Most builders, developers, and architects start project-by-project; we move to a master service agreement once we've shipped together. Brokerages and real estate firms typically engage on a per-listing or annual retainer with defined turnaround SLAs.

Do you white-label deliverables under our firm?

Yes, where it fits the engagement. We can produce drawings, renderings, and VR experiences with your firm's title block and branding. Co-branded and Vividly Built-branded options are also available.

Do you work in-house or sub-contract the work?

Everything is produced in-house by our staff designers, BIM modelers, and visualization artists in Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, and Austin. We do not outsource visualization or drafting.

What file formats do you work in?

Revit (RVT), AutoCAD (DWG), SketchUp (SKP), Rhino (3DM), 3ds Max, FBX, OBJ, IFC. We can hand off drawings as PDF + DWG and BIM models as RVT + IFC.

What is the typical turnaround?

Photoreal stills: 1–3 weeks from a finalized model. Full design + CD package for a single-family luxury home: typically 4–6 months. Sales-center package for a multifamily tower: 8–14 weeks. Listing renderings: 5–10 business days.

How do you handle NDAs and IP?

Mutual NDAs are standard before any project information crosses. IP terms are negotiated per engagement — most clients retain full ownership of the design and deliverables with us retaining portfolio rights subject to confidentiality.

Can you co-present to our clients?

Yes. We co-present in your studio, in our LA, SD, Dallas, or Austin studios, or remotely over Zoom and VR. Many of our developer and architect partners use co-presented VR sessions as the closing meeting.

Do you have a portfolio of B2B work?

Yes — see our portfolio for representative projects across luxury residential, multifamily, restaurants, retail, and office. Confidential builder and developer engagements are referenced on request.

What does the engagement cost?

Scoped to the project. Renderings start at four figures; full design + visualization packages for luxury custom homes typically run mid-six to low-seven figures depending on scope. Our cost calculator gives a quick range for construction; design fees are quoted separately.

Who is our point of contact?

A senior principal owns the relationship; a project lead runs day-to-day. You will not be bounced between account managers.
