Architectural Rendering Costs: How to Plan Your Budget
A practical guide to scope, starting prices and comparing rendering proposals.

Start with the scope
An image count alone does not describe a rendering project. The number of buildings, interior spaces, custom assets and surrounding context all affect production. Two views of an approved scene involve a different scope from two unrelated buildings.
Dream Renders starting prices
Interior images start at $1,000 and exteriors at $1,400. A property launch set of three exterior and two interior images starts at $5,500 for one building and one interior space. These are starting prices, subject to review of your plans and requirements. See current pricing for inclusions.
Compare the same deliverables
Ask whether a quote includes modeling, the required output resolution, revision rounds and the usage you need. Check the assumptions about landscaping, neighboring buildings and custom furniture. Animation proposals should specify duration, storyboard reviews, output format and licensing.
Prepare a useful request
Send plans, elevations, reference images, an existing model if available, your preferred views and a target date. Identify which design decisions are approved and which may change. This helps us distinguish a production brief from an ongoing design exploration.
Send your project brief for a confirmed scope and quote.
