1 : 2500 South Africa Scotland River urban / city planning Project model

Information required to make a scale model
The better the information you are able to give us, the better model we are able to give you. A full set of plans, sections, elevations and renderings will enable us to make your model quickly and accurately(ideally as DWGs). References can be in the form of actual samples, pictures (of existing projects or from catalogues), or as colour refs where appropriate. Alternatively, give details of web sites where relevant images can be viewed. Contact us for further discuss.

1. How much does a model cost?
There are no definitive answers to this question as every model is a unique project. Prices range from less than a hundred US dollars to many thousands of US dollars. Big complicated models obviously cost more than small simple models but there are no fixed price bands that can be applied to these projects. The only way we can give a realistic estimate for your model is by looking at whatever information you have and getting a feel for how complex the project is - although, if necessary, we can give you a rough ball park figure just from a verbal description.

2. Does it matter if I am not local?
Not at all. We manufacture models for clients all over China and abroad. Information exchange and client liaison is all carried out via email or telephone and regular photographs keep you in touch with progress on your model. We usually find completed models can be signed off from photographs (although you may prefer to come in for a final inspection) and there are various options for delivery.

3. What information is required to supply a quotation?
To provide a fixed price quotation for a model, ideally we require a fairly comprehensive set of drawings but we understand this isn’t always possible. As a basic guideline, for an architectural model we would require a site plan with some indication of levels (unless it’s flat) plus several elevations of the new development. Site photographs are also very useful. For display models or exhibition models we need as many images, drawings or 3D views of the proposed design as possible. But if you are at the very early stages of a project we can supply a rough cost from very minimal information.

4. What format should the information be in?
The information can be emailed as, pdfs, dwgs, jpgs, etc.

5. What information is required to build the model?
The better the information you are able to give us, the better model we are able to give you. A full set of plans, sections, elevations and renderings will enable us to make your model quickly and accurately(ideally as DWGs).

If you give us the go-ahead on a project, we will then need the full set of information. A typical list might read as follows:
Information required for us to begin work:
1) An accurate site plan showing boundaries of model
2) Plan showing levels across site
3) Plans, elevations, sections of all buildings
4) Landscaping plan (if available)
5) Any aerial or ground level photos of site
Info required for later stages of model(references for colours and finishes):
1) Roads / Parking / Paviours etc. around site
2) Main brick or cladding material
3) Contrast materials
4) Roof finishes
5) Balcony & railing colours / design
6) Window frame colours

References can be in the form of actual samples, pictures (of existing projects or from catalogues), or as colour refs where appropriate. Alternatively, give details of web sites where relevant images can be viewed.

6. How long does a model take to build?
Just as there is no fixed price structure for a model nor is there a standard construction time. Each model is different. A simple concept model could take just a few days. A large, complex interactive model could take five or six weeks. Most projects take somewhere in between, typically two to four weeks. However the total turn-around time will depend on our existing commitments at the time of ordering.

7. What materials will the model be made from?
The majority of models are made from various high grade plastics but we have experience in working with a variety of different materials so please contact us if you have any special requirements.

8. How can I check progress of the model if I am not local?
Please refer to “Does it matter if I’m not local?” above.

9. How late can changes be made?
Design alterations can be incorporated in your model at any point during construction but there may be a charge incurred for any abortive work already carried out. Significant alterations may also affect the completion date. However, as a gesture of good will we usually try to carry out minor changes without any additional cost or delays to the deadline.

10. Do I need to inspect the finished model before delivery?
It is not essential to come in and inspect the finished model before it is delivered although some clients prefer to do this. Other clients are happy to sign the project off using emailed photographs. We will send any views or angles you need as well as detailed close-ups of any query areas.
