VisuArchitect is a UK architectural visualisation studio producing Scotland architectural CGI for Scottish architects, developers and planning consultants. Interior CGI, exterior CGI, planning visuals and verified-view photomontage under National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) and Historic Environment Scotland (HES) guidance.
Scottish briefs route through Revit, SketchUp and IFC into a single UK studio pipeline spanning Edinburgh tenement interiors, Glasgow sandstone exteriors, Aberdeen granite frontages, Scottish Baronial revivals and Highland schemes. The same pipeline underpins our London architectural visualisation service, adapted here for Scottish planning jurisdiction.
Architects, not artists
Scotland architectural visualisers at VisuArchitect work as architect-aware practitioners, reading Revit, SketchUp and IFC files directly to produce photoreal CGI, planning visuals and verified-view photomontage from a UK studio pipeline.

The practitioner-selection guide covers brief format, file-pathway and AVR-readiness under NPF4 and HES.
Illustrative CGI, camera-matched photomontage and verified-view AVR assets for Scottish council planning committees and Historic Environment Scotland (HES) consultations under National Planning Framework 4.
Submissions align to each local authority's Local Development Plan (LDP) under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, covering Planning Permission in Principle, listed building consent, Section 75 agreements and DPEA appeals via ePlanning Scotland. Heritage settings such as the Edinburgh World Heritage Site and central Glasgow are prepared to the photoreal standard a Scottish planning committee expects.
Camera-matched composites produced to Landscape Institute Technical Guidance Note 06/19 with surveyed GPS control points for Scottish planning submissions where HES is statutory consultee.
Context-sensitive townscape views for listed building consent and conservation-area submissions under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997, coordinated with HES as statutory consultee on listed and designated schemes.
Townscape views for proposed schemes within the UNESCO-designated Edinburgh Old and New Town World Heritage Site, coordinated with HES and Edinburgh World Heritage Trust as joint site managers.
Scotland project types span five core categories: Edinburgh tenement, Glasgow sandstone, Aberdeen granite, Scottish Baronial and Highland croft.
Common stair entries, period fabric and tenement-flat interiors for Old Town and New Town conservation contexts. Attic conversions route to the loft-conversion CGI methodology (a Scottish typology distinct from the English loft conversion); listed schemes route to the heritage conversion service where listed building consent (Scotland) applies.
Blonde stone from Giffnock and Dunmore quarries, red stone from Locharbriggs: townhouse exteriors for the West End, Park Circus, Hyndland and Pollokshields. Repointing and indent-replacement work routes to our heritage conversion service.
Silver-grey Rubislaw ashlar frontages and refurbishments in Scotland's Granite City. Union Street and Rosemount conservation contexts; supplementary planning guidance on granite material specification informs every brief.
Crow-stepped gable, harling render (a lime-aggregate finish distinct from English pebbledash), turret and conical-roof CGI for country house, hotel and civic revival commissions.
Single-storey harled stone, slate or thatched roofs and east-coast pantile work for croft and vernacular schemes. Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) and Crofting Commission tenure contexts inform every brief.
Scotland CGI pricing has three typical tiers: Standard, Premium and Ultra. Each is quoted as a fixed-scope quote with same-day quote turnaround on most enquiries. Final fees depend on modelling, detail level and shot count.
Single-shot or single-room CGIs.
Multi-shot or hero treatment.
Verified-view AVR or animation pre-quote.
The interactive price calculator builds a quote from your shot count, scheme size and tier.
Modelling is scoped per project (typically £500 to £3,000+). Supplying a clean, camera-ready 3D model (RVT, SKP or IFC) can reduce or waive modelling. Rush +40%.
