Why Client's Love 3d

3d design and presentation makes it easy for the client to understand design proposals quickly and comment more effectively in the early stage of the project. Here at Templeman Design we have found the use of 3d design and presentation has improved client interaction and helps to ensure projects proceed from concept to detailed design more quickly.

Our preferred software is Google Sketchup, which is easy to learn and allows 3d proposals to be produced quickly and cost effectively.

Below are some examples of our 3d work on recent projects.

New Headquarters - Dorplan Architectural Hardware

From inception to completion, Templeman Design were commissioned by Dorplan Architectural Hardware  to design and project manage the delivery of thier new prestige office and warehouse development in Downham Market, in Norfolk.

Dorplan, were relocating to Norfolk and their brief was to design a unique facility, to promote an image of quality to establish their business in Norfolk.

Early design concepts were illustated by the use of 3d modeling and the final design scheme is shown below.

Once the scheme was agreed, detailed design drawings and specifications were prepared for Architectural , Structural, and Mechanical and Electrical elements of the design, Building Regulations approval obtained. The project was tendered and following the tender review, awarded to Mansell Construction.

Work commenced in October 2008 and was recently completed on Friday 17th April 2009. Templeman Design carried out contract administration and management of the contract. The Project was completed on programme and on budget to the satisfaction of our client.

Current Design Projects

Following on from the completion of our scheme for the new Customer Information Centre on the ground floor of the main council offices at Kings Court,(see image right) we 

have secured further commissions for design and contract administration with the Borough Council.

We currently have three projects in various stages of design on or site in construction.

The extension to Downham Market Fitness Centre has recently been completed on site. Templeman Design provided a multi-discipline design service covering the Architectural, Structural and Mechanical and Electrical elements of the project. Our involvement was from the inception of the project and required the production of 3d visuals to enable our client to fully understand the scope of the work and speed up internal approval procedures. We administered the construction which was completed on time and on budget by Mansell Construction of Swaffham. External and internal photo's shown below.

St James Swimming Pool was damaged by fire in May 2007. Templeman Design were appointed by the Borough Council to design and co-ordinate the installation of temporary changing facilities and for the re-design of the changing area and fitness suite.

We again provided a multi-discipline design service and 3d visuals were prepared to illustrate the scheme to the council. The council took the 

opportunity to improve facilities with a larger fitness suite and new steam room and sauna.

We also produced an animated visual which was posted to the council's web site to advise customers of the scheme proposals.  Works are progressing well on site, the Main contractor for this contract being EN Suiter of Kings Lynn. As a final touch to the scheme we have just produced a proposal for the end wall of the swimming pool itself. This is shortly to be installed on site by Altro using their 'Digiclad' system, this being the largest visual Altro have produced for UK installation.

Our most recent instruction from the council relates to further works at King's Court, the main council offices. We are carrying out a feasibility study on heating and lighting improvements to the offices on floors 1-3 together with upgrades to the staff toilets and communal areas of the building.  The aim of the project is provide more control over the working environment within the building by installing a heating and lighting systems which can be controlled to suit the different areas and uses of the building. The new system will also be more cost effective to run.

Other recent instructions include a structural appraisal of industrial units to establish if they can be over roofed and a feasibility study for the sub-division of 36 Oldmeadow Road a large industrial unit on the Hardwick Industrial Estate in Kings Lynn. To illustrate our proposals, instead of just preparing basic plans we produced a 3d animation of the proposals showing the transformation of the unit in to 3 separate units.
