What are revision rounds?
Architectural rendering has many stages, and revisions move it from stage to stage.
*Revisions are architectural revisions, not design revisions. I do not provide design services. If the design changes (anything different from what I was offered initially), those changes can be quoted per hour.

How do you add revision comments?
I try to make adding comments to your architectural rendering as easy for you as I can, so I have an online review site that I call Review Studio by simply picking on-screen with your mouse, stylus, or finger.

How many revision rounds do you get?
There are two revision rounds, one in grayscale and one in color. I will move to low-resolution color proofs once your grayscale revisions are completed and approved. During this round, you also get one revision round. If more modifications are needed, I can quote these changes per hour.
*The first revision ensures that I either modeled correctly from the CAD files or created the colors accurately from your color board. If anything was missed on my part, I will allow you to comments.

Why do I have revision rounds?
Limiting the number of revisions forces us to work holistically. Having everyone’s eyes on the architectural render simultaneously helps the process move faster and smoother from stage to stage.
Years ago, I would work tirelessly for someone with unlimited revision to have the image passed to the next person, who had their idea of what the architectural rendering should be.
Also, some rush their revision time, and after each round, they find things they should have seen in the previous round. With limits, people tend to take their time and thoroughly review their architectural rendering.
If the second round of revisions has new comments, then there will inevitably be a fourth round, and so on.
What happens if more revision rounds are needed?
The two rounds of revisions are usually enough; however, sometimes more are needed. Usually, more is required because :
Revision rounds were rushed, and things were missed.
People continue to work in their silos and pass the architectural render on to the next person after using the revision rounds.
If more revisions are needed, I will quote the cost of making the changes. As I said, two is usually enough, but I once had 17 revision rounds. The architectural rendering was passed from person to person, each making comments and many contradicting changes already made by another contributor.
