Interior Designers are cautious of giving away 3D renderings for free because:
1) It takes ~2-20 hours to produce depending on the complexity of the project and rendering requirements e.g. 360° views, 720° virtual tours etc.

2) Some Homeowners may hand their designs to another Interior Designer

3) It can be costly (if they outsource the work)

Nobody Around Us Could Recommend a Good ID

It was almost like they didn’t exist - so we started our search on Google. HomeMatch came across as a no brainer for us to try because of their case trust accredited IDs, clear outline of their services and the fact that they came at no cost to us. The communication with HomeMatch were always swift, clear and helpful. From our online form, they called and clarified our needs then set about to match us with five IDs. We were able to view their profiles, portfolios and video snippets which were handy when it came to comparing meeting them in person whether they were authentic. Four of the five IDs contacted us swiftly and met with us twice - the first time to understand our requirements and floor plan and the second time to propose layout and itemized quotation. Same went for the fifth ID who was a later match because the initial match was not able to meet us. HomeMatch really came through with promptly replacing the initial recommendation such that the replacement ID was able to meet us the very next day. We were able to select an ID from the five based on all our interactions and although the process from contacting HomeMatch to signing with ID took 2 months it would have taken even longer had we tried to source IDs from the wild. HomeMatch services didn’t end with us signing the contract. HomeMatch reviewed our contract and advised us of its pros and shortcomings. They also provided critical tips that will help make our renovation journey a successful one. Although our Reno work have not begun we know that clear communication works best and we can always count on HomeMatch should we need them again.

Common Practices

There’s no standard practice for when you’ll receive 3D drawings however, the 2 common practices are:

1. Upon Receiving a Deposit

‍Interior designers may collect a deposit (~$500 - $2,000). Usually, this amount will be offset from the total renovation quotation.

2. After in-depth discussion

3D renders might be given at no charge if the interior designers are confident that the homeowners are sincere in working with them.
