We Are 3D Design Bureau

We provide digital 3D solutions to the AEC sector for Planning, Marketing, BIM and Virtual Tour requirements. These solutions include architectural visualisation, BIM, virtual reality, BRE daylight analysis and virtual tour services.

Verified View Montages

Verified view montages (VVMs): are technical images that accurately show the visual impact of a proposed development. VVMs generally range in distance from medium to long range and can take in protected views.

BRE Daylight & Sunlight Assessments

BRE Daylight and sunlight studies are detailed technical reports that evaluate the potential environmental impact on daylight, sunlight and overshadowing by a proposed development.

Off-Plans 360 Virtual Tours

Off-plans 360 virtual tours allow a user to move through an unbuilt property from point to point, like google street view. These virtual tours give users a fully interactive experience and are designed to a photo-realistic standard.

Matterport 3D Virtual Tours

Matterport 3D virtual tours allow viewers to digitally tour any built space. The viewer controls which part of the space they look at and from which angle – think of it like Street View on Google Maps, but for interiors and exteriors of a property.

Interior CGIs

Interior CGIs are an invaluable marketing tool when the objective is to secure pre-sales and pre-lets of schemes.

Architectural CGIs

Architectural CGIs are the perfect marketing tool providing stake holders, buyers, and design team consultants with an accurate and photorealistic representation of the quality and exterior layout of a scheme.

BIM – Digital Construction

We are perfectly positioned to contribute to BIM projects in the area of 3D, 6D, 7D and BIM coordination, enabling the successful delivery of EIRs and BIM execution plans.

3D Architectural Walkthroughs

3D architectural walkthroughs bring an added dimension to property marketing. Unlike still CGIs, 3D architectural walkthroughs bring you on a journey around and throughout a building in the form of a video story.

3D floor and Site Plans

3D floor & site plans are the perfect complement to other marketing material allowing target audiences to see the entire floor or site layout in one 3D visual.

On behalf of a valued client we again employed Nick and his team at 3D Design Bureau to deliver a series of accurate verified views as well as both daytime & night-time promotional images. With extremely tight programme constraints the team at 3D Design Bureau proactively set about their task to deliver the required images whilst working to a fluid brief and a fixed programme deadline, which they managed to accomplish without any decline on the quality of product. It has been our experience that when 3D Design Bureau commit to a programme deadline they deliver without compromise to that deadline.

MKN recently instructed 3D Design Bureau on another important planning project in Dublin that required accurate and photo-realistic 3D imagery. We were delighted with the quality of the photomontages and CGI produced for our newest proposed development.  We feel that the 3D images produced by the team at 3D Design Bureau will have a positive impact on our planning application and further more will be utilised for the pre-marketing of our development due to the quality of the final high resolution material. They provide attention to detail in all their work and their workflows are smooth and managed extremely well. We would have no hesitation in recommending 3D Design Bureau to colleagues within the industry who are seeking planning or coming to market with property developments.

We recently worked with 3D Design Bureau on the production of photomontages for a proposed large residential development that required the impact of the development on both existing adjacent properties and the surrounding context to be illustrated. With such a sensitive site required 3D Design Bureau to be able to stand over the work they produced. 3D Design cooperated fully in producing initial drafts and views allowing the design to be evaluated and refined before submission. We would be happy to recommend 3D Design Bureau.
