But I have to start somewhere with concrete data and sq. Home Designer and said I could to it myself. In designing our home, we reached out to a company to do some renderings and the estimate was $3000+ for 5 images. So I guess if I provided 12 images, that would be $6000.I have seen some websites that say about 1-2% of the construction costs for rendering services. I did see that some firms charge $500/image. The client said I should google renderings and see, and he said $500 or so should be enough. So part of this exercise was me testing the waters to see what was a fair and reasonable price. I helped with exterior color selections by providing him with different renderings side by side. Essentially I charged 25 cents/sq foot (simple structure, only exterior, duplex townhome so half of sq foot is easily replicated, simple terrain) + $500 for unlimited testing/views for 30 days.
Once he saw the price tag, he said no one would pay that. foot of project, complexity of structure, inside/outside or both. For one of my clients I provided what I WOULD have charged him, and I based this, maybe naively, on $/sq. I am just starting out and doing some pro bono work to build up my portfolio. I was wondering about your thoughts on pricing for rendering services.
