  • How are Verified Views produced?

    1. Verifiable Site Photography & Survey
      Verified Views begin with finalising viewpoint locations, followed by the site photography. The captured photos will be circulated for stakeholders to select between 24mm, 35mm & 50mm focal lengths for each viewpoint. The approved focal lengths will be submitted for survey, to capture the location and key points within each photograph.
    2. 3D Modelling & Texturing
      In parallel to the photography & survey, 3D modelling and texturing will be completed to create a realistic digital representation of the proposal.
    3. Camera Matching & Lighting
      Once the model is built and the survey data is ready, camera matching and lighting will be applied to create the Verified Views.
    4. Method Statement Production
      A method statement will be written to outline of the specific steps involved and present existing & proposed Verified Views alongside location information for each viewpoint.
    5. Commenting, Approval & Delivery
      Finally, the client will be invited to comment on and approve the deliverables before final delivery is made.

Great to work with the Foundation team on a CGI for a central London, super prime project. The team were great to work with and the end result is of an excellent standard.

Sophie Theakston

Grove Property

A wonderfully hassle-free experience getting top quality CGIs done: Olly was calm, patient, and very easy to deal with. He responded to the original brief and subsequent amendments in a very considered and thoughtful way; gave great options; and talked a novice client (me) through the process very clearly.

Liz Fetherston

Moreno Masey

Great working with Olly and the team on a series of external CGIs for a London penthouse project. Olly worked really well with our team to produce high quality images in a fast and professional manner. The full design team have commented on how good the CGIs are.
