"As a housing association, we have recently started to offer homes for sale, mostly off-plan to first-time buyers. As the properties are off-plan, a good CGI is vital to help buyers envisage their future home. I’ve been working with Image Foundry for five or six years and actually recommended them to my current employer. It’s really easy working with the team and the quality of their work is so much better than other CGI companies that I have worked with in the past. Image foundry CGIs genuinely look like a photo of the home and the detailing that they include is fantastic."
"We selected Image Foundry from a panel of three suppliers because the quality was extremely high, and also because they were evidently both affordable and flexible. They worked as part of our team and bent over backwards to hit our deadlines – even when turnaround times were tight. Alex and the team were very knowledgeable. The process was simple and they were in constant contact with us throughout.
The finished results generated some great feedback, especially the internal shots, and we’ve used the CGIs to help us sell off-plan. We’ve since used Image Foundry for another project and other regions of the business have also asked them to tender for more work."
"Image Foundry do a brilliant job, the price is right and the quality they produce is incredible. People need to be able visualise their community and Image Foundry’s fly-throughs let customers immerse themselves in our developments. The animations allow our customers to ‘drive’ into the street scene, choose the plot and see an enhanced CGI image of what their home will look like from morning to evening.
It includes everything from the landscaping, trees and shrubs, down to making sure the cars match the price range of the properties. The fly-through is a wonderful tool for marketing to customers who would otherwise struggle to visualise the finished project.
We use it on the landing page on our website and take snippets and images for Facebook ads, Instagram and carousels. We give Image Foundry the necessary information such as the site levels and brick colours, then they add the details that make the CGI come alive. Fantastic."
Tracy Iles, Sales Director, Vistry Partnerships North East"Image Foundry was recommended to us by an industry colleague. I’ve used a number of agencies but not found anybody else who can deliver the same level of quality and cost-effectiveness. We’re quite a difficult client when it comes to sign-off but they always cater to our individual preferences and go that extra mile.
Our Earlsbrook development features 166 homes and 15 individual house types overlooking Delamere Forest in Cheshire, for which Image Foundry developed 15 external plot CGIs, two street scenes, an external site animation and internal plot animation. Not only do we use them on everything from press releases and our website to signage and brochures, but we also held an event to offer customers a sneak peek into the new development. We have around 600 people on the waiting list for Earlsbrook and 100 of them came to look at the CGIs alone: they were really impressed with what they saw."
"We’ve worked with Image Foundry on-and-off for more than 17 years. As our customers’ expectations have changed and technology has improved, our needs have evolved as a business and Image Foundry has always evolved with us.
We sell off-plan earlier than anyone else and Image Foundry’s CGI is a key part of our strategy. Their flythroughs are essential for building trust with the customer when there’s nothing else to help them visualise the final results.
Their flythrough of our Agenda housing development in Wakefield gave the site a real sense of energy that brought it to life. Despite it being an urban location featuring a single house- type, the Image Foundry team added brilliant variety by rendering some houses in white, some with a stone effect and others in contemporary mill-inspired stonework. We were really pleased with the final product."
