The production time in architectural model making varies depending on the project, level of detail, and data input. Typically, the creation of a model takes between 4 and 10 weeks. This time frame allows for careful attention to detail and the production of a high-quality model that meets the clients‘ requirements and expectations.
For particularly detailed projects or when a high level of detail is required, production may take longer. Conversely, simpler models can be produced more quickly. The required time strongly depends on how extensive and detailed the provided planning documents are. The more precise the data, the more efficient the model-making process can proceed.
For clients who need a faster turnaround, we also offer express deliveries. By arrangement, models can be completed within 2 weeks if the projects are well-prepared and the clients are willing to pay the corresponding express fees. However, this fast processing time requires optimal collaboration and clear communication between clients and model makers to ensure that all requirements and expectations are met within the shorter time frame.
Overall, the production time in architectural model making is flexible and can be adapted to the specific needs and schedules of clients to always deliver the best possible results.
In architectural model making, the materials used play a crucial role in the quality and precision of the models. Architects and model makers use a wide variety of materials to accurately and appealingly represent their visions.
Plastic is a popular material due to its flexibility and durability. It allows for detailed models that are both sturdy and lightweight. Rigid foam, on the other hand, is ideal for large-scale models as it is easy to work with while still being stable.
Plexiglas and acrylic glass are also frequently used materials. They offer high transparency and elegance, which is particularly appreciated in modern architectural models. These materials can also be combined with light sources to create impressive effects.
Wood is valued for its natural appearance and texture. It gives models a warm feel and is especially popular for traditional or sustainable construction projects. Wood is also easy to work with and paint, making it a versatile material.
Plaster is another traditional material in model making. It is excellent for depicting fine details and textures. Plaster models can be painted and processed to create realistic surfaces.
Other materials such as metal, paper, or fabric can also be used, depending on the specific requirements of the model. The choice of material depends on the desired characteristics and purpose of the model. Overall, the variety of materials in architectural model making allows for flexible and creative execution of various construction projects.
Pricing in architectural model making depends on several factors that affect the effort and material costs. A key aspect is the scale and size of the model. Larger models at a scale of 1:50 or 1:100 are more complex to build and require more material than smaller models at a scale of 1:500 or 1:1000.
The level of detail also plays a crucial role. The more detailed a model is, the higher the effort and therefore the price. A model with finely crafted elements and realistic details requires more time and precise craftsmanship compared to a simple, schematic model.
The input of planning documents also affects pricing. Models based on 2D drawings often require additional interpretation, whereas 3D models allow for more accurate and faster execution. The effort involved in creating the model therefore varies depending on the quality and completeness of the provided documents.
Urgency is another factor. Express deliveries, where models are produced within two weeks, are generally more expensive. These projects require accelerated work processes and prioritization, which incurs additional costs.
The choice of materials also influences the price. High-quality materials such as expensive wood, Plexiglas, or acrylic glass are more costly than simple materials like plaster or rigid foam. Models with color designs are more complex than plain, unpainted models and increase the overall cost.
Additional special features such as lighting, a base stand, or a protective cover also contribute to the pricing. These extras require additional work steps and materials, which is reflected in the price.
In summary, prices in architectural model making are based on a combination of scale and size, level of detail, quality of planning documents, urgency, choice of materials, and any special features. Clients receive a custom model tailored to their specific requirements and budget.
