Thank a lot for your reply! I will send this info over to my client and will contact you as soon as possible.
I have tried working with different companies in the past and had some negative experience. We have gathered some questions for the new studios we want to try working with. Could you please answer them? These are pretty vital for the long-term relationship we are looking for.
Do you charge per view or per hour? How much is that?
How many revisions are included in the price? What is the cost for extra revisions?
What is your basic estimation time for an architectural project with 1 view? Sometimes we need quick estimation in the future
What is the resolution of the final rendering? Do we have to pay extra for high res (4k, for example)?
What is the cost for additional views?
What is the cost of birdview for this project?
What files do we need to send you to start the project?
What software do you use? 3Ds Max, V-Ray, Corona?
Do you send draft results in a grey model rendering, draft render of screenshots?
Can you share the source files, so we'll make a final fix in-house?
How are we going to get results?
Will the price change if I get you a 3D model?
What is the cost of a panorama view?
What is the cost of an additional option or a different version of a project? For example, changing a time of the day, weather conditions or season of the year.
Do you have a team to work with several projects at the same time? If so, how many projects your team can do at the same time? We got overloaded sometimes
What is your payment process? Do you work with pre-payment? post-payment?
Do you charge extra money for urgent projects and tight deadlines?
What is the cost of large-scale projects? For example, 100 unique projects per year.
So wrote back, and told them show some evidence they were a really company gang of chancers.
So be aware of this lot.
Up to no good,
The sent a link with drawings and a sample image they want too, full set of drawings..................
