Support across the RIBA stages

Visualisation suited to where a project sits in the Plan of Work, from a first bid image through to final presentation material.

Concept & bid visuals

Early massing and concept imagery prepared to support a bid or an initial client presentation, giving a scheme presence before a line is fixed.

RIBA Stage 0–1

Early design development

Visuals that test massing, orientation and material direction as a design develops, prepared for internal review and client sign-off.

RIBA Stage 2

Material & finish palettes

Comparative studies of cladding, brick blend, roofing and joinery colour, prepared for specification meetings and contractor briefings.

RIBA Stage 3–4

Final presentation visuals

Large-scale, high-resolution imagery for planning submissions, marketing material and completed project presentation.

RIBA Stage 4–5

Portfolio

A sample of my Visualisation work — new builds, terraces and detail studies, shown in the material and light conditions they'd actually be seen in.

How a project runs

A single image is typically delivered within two to five working days, sooner where a three-dimensional model is already available.

01

Initial design meeting

A short call or in-person meeting to talk through the scheme, the intended shot and mood, and how the visual will be used.

02

Brief & drawings

Plans, elevations, a model or a sketch are provided, confirming the brief agreed at the meeting.

03

Concept pass

A first version is returned for review, with composition, light, materials and context established.

04

Refinement

One or two rounds of revision against your notes, with material accuracy and planning-relevant detail tightened at this stage.

05

Final delivery

High-resolution files for print and screen, sized and formatted for submission or marketing use.

About

About Me

I am an Architectural Visualisation Artist. I graduated from Northumbria University with a First Class Honours degree in Architecture, after which I spent my year out in practice in Cornwall, gaining hands-on experience across a range of projects and developing a strong appreciation for context, materials and thoughtful design.

Alongside architecture, I have always had a passion for graphic design and visual storytelling. I set up D.COADY Visualisation to bring these interests together.
