Presenting the state of the art for 3D design, visualization, and collaboration.  3D design is best suited for hardscape design, including swimming pools, patios, decks, retaining walls, additions, remodeling, site planning, and masterplans.  3D design allows you to see the design from all angles, giving you a much better understanding of the design intent while providing insights that are not possible by any other means. Changes are easy, and compared to changes made during the construction phase; you will save time, money, and frustration.  Dimensioning and area calculations are quick and accurate.  My methods are the most efficient ever devised. See Design Online  My terms are very simple, with no fine print, or confusing language.

3D landscape design in NY.  Chris started without me, so we had some remedial work to maximize his space and investment.  He had some very large boulders onsite that we wanted to use to build the 6ft high waterfalls.  He made 4 digital images and a couple dimensions of each boulder.  We modeled the boulders from the images, and gave him a labeled drawing indicating the location and rotation of each boulder within the waterfalls and boulder walls

I will build a life size 3D model of your new property and home so that we can walk around together online within the model for the purpose of designing your swimming pool and landscaping.  I can create the model in less time than traveling to your location, which doesn't preclude a site visit if we decide it would be worthwhile. To that end, I need:

  • survey with contour lines or the best available information showing your property lines, etc.
  • Main level floor plan + basement plan if there is one
  • 4 side elevations if they are available.
  • If the building (s) are at least framed, I can use images of each facade and each corner taken from a distance far enough to capture the entire building in a single image.
I prefer the files sent in AutoCAD 2000 format.  I will never use your architects plans or designs for any other purpose than to design your project with you.
