Design Build Tech
How does Design Build Tech Help Us?
Now is a great time for design-build tech, and today’s technology is a lot of the reason why. The things that are possible with relative ease today would have been virtually impossible not too long ago. It is truly amazing what today’s software, in the right hands, can produce, from photo-realistic renderings to a three-dimensional walk-through of your home.
For the first time ever, design-build tech can help us show what your home will actually look like, not just on a flat piece of paper but in 3D. You can actually walk through your home, sit at your kitchen island and check out the view. All before your home had even been built. Now, this technology has been around for a while, but now with faster computers and better software. That virtual window into your new home can be achieved in a timely and cost-effective way. Without the need to compromise on image quality or design detail. From the lights over your dining table to the finish on your wood floors. Everything will look very close to what it will be in real life once we are done.
This has been, as you can imagine, a game changer because it enables us to communicate design and finishes in a way we never could before. Showing how different lighting treatments will affect your room with the click of a mouse. Showing you the finer points of why one set of finishes would be better than the rest. Right down to the detail on the trim around your doors and windows. Clients no longer have to guess what they hope they are getting. We can choose finishes in advance and vet them in a room that doesn’t even exist yet. It’s pretty cool, and I’m excited to see how much further things will continue to go over the coming years. Our designs have always been about clearly articulating our client’s wishes. We can now do that in ways that only make things better for our customers. Showing them exactly what a Woodsmith home can and will look like.
However, the design-build tech love affair does not stop there with the advent of cloud computing and limitless storage options from any platform at any time. We now also have the ability to manage our projects better than ever before. We can show daily progress while simultaneously addressing any questions or concerns at any time of day from any project location. Even if it is just from a phone, we can pick and categorize selections from the showroom floor or at the office. These are presented clearly and in an up-to-date format on your client web portal. Each design-build project can now be run with the same project management software used to build major condo construction projects. This has helped us achieve efficiency and customer satisfaction that I don’t think would have been possible otherwise. The design-build process has always had many moving parts, and with the help of today’s best tech, we can keep them all moving smoothly.
