Commissioning on Architectural Visualisation:
Our Fees
At TMD we see architectural visualisation not as a commodity, but as a crafted process driven by ambition, detail and story. Every project calls for a different balance of speed, dialogue and precision, so our fees measure the depth of collaboration rather than the number of hours.
By tying cost to the level of creative partnership you choose—from a rapid, well-framed Lean pass to a fully art-directed Signature journey—we make sure every pound you invest advances your narrative, sharpens your message and lands on time.

Figures above are per image. Higher volumes may qualify for a package rate. Final fees are confirmed once the view list and scope are reviewed.
Large developments often require ten or more related views. Volume efficiency allows exterior stills to start from about £350 per image in Lean when similarity and batch workflow apply. Interiors, amenities and aerials follow the same tier logic and are quoted individually.
All quotes and invoices are issued in pounds sterling (GBP). For convenience we also list live equivalents in USD, EUR and Saudi Riyal (SAR) on every proposal.
