VIRTUAL DESIGN

JG Development’s virtual design process allows clients to view a “pre-constructed” project via a computer model, in preparation for construction in the real world.

The JG design process brings efficiency to the overall project, both from a time and expense viewpoint. When the client can visualize the project more clearly during the early stages, costly changes are less likely during construction. This results in fewer surprises and ensures the client will be happier with the project outcome.

During the virtual design process, options are easily and quickly explored.

  • The design team views (often instantly) choices regarding the layout and aesthetics of a particular project, and identifies more of the structural and visual issues.
  • The engineers and suppliers have fewer unknowns, which saves money.
  • The construction team them sees how the project fits together structurally, which helps in establishing a precise budget and schedule.

Suppliers and crews in the field receive 3D drawings to enable them to more quickly understand the project and prevent costly errors.

How does the virtual design process work?

1. The designer consults with the owner to collect design information and to gain an understanding of the site context, basic design intent and architectural program.

2. The designer constructs the basic concept model, including relevant terrain and existing structures as applicable.

3. The client and designer conduct a live walkthrough, and also view presentations and/or drawings, digital renderings, animation and sun studies that can be emailed or viewed on the internet or on a CD/DVD.

4. The Virtual Building model is developed and refined, testing various design options until the owner is able to say “That’s it, that’s what we want to build!”

5. Preliminary and final construction drawings are produced directly from the virtual technology model (can be used for posters or brochures, video and even plastic scale models.)

“I just want to comment on how wonderful it is to work with Charlie. He is a true professional and listens to our wishes and then attempts to make them happen. He provides workable options when we are struggling to find one in a remodel situation. This is why I chose JG and it is what I wanted from a builder.”

“The design process was excellent. I had drawn up some plans and had some unusual requests. Even my most unconventional design ideas were well received and the team figured out how to get them done. When he learned our lot would require full foundation, JG Suggested some design changes to utilize space better and reduce building expense.”
