3D visualisations or technical drawings: why both matter
A visualisation communicates atmosphere and materials; drawings communicate dimensions and construction rules.
Two tools with different roles
What a 3D image validates
Visualisations help approve proportion, colour, light and volumes, but they are not construction drawings.
What technical drawings solve
Technical plans define dimensions, services, levels, codes and details. Contractors need verifiable documentation to price and build correctly.
How they stay coordinated
Every important visual change must transfer into drawings and schedules. All teams should work from the same approved revision.

The essential rule
- Visualisations approve design intent.
- Drawings define measurable execution.
- Revisions update both documents.
