Do you sometimes feel the weight of multiple designs on your back? Wondering how am I ever going to get through all this without doing 12-hour work days?
We know your time is precious and it should be spent on tasks that generate value. If we look at a designer’s work day, time is much better spent on your skill set – designing – which is what your clients are paying you for. However, you may find yourself drowning in tedious tasks that can make you feel like you’re going backwards.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could get through designs quicker and reduce your to-do list at the same time?
A Typical Response
The obvious answer is employing someone to help you right? This sounds good in theory, but if you ask any small business owner that has tried this, their response can often come with a large ……sigh!
To employ someone, you need to first spend a bit of time and money on finding them. Then, if you’re lucky enough to find someone that has the necessary skills, is happy to work with you, and happy with what you can afford to pay them, you’re still not quite there. There’s still another few weeks spent training them, and getting them up to speed. The first few months can actually feel like you’ve just added to your work load which is the exact opposite of your intended goal.
We Think There Is A Better Way!
Rather than going through all that HR pain, maybe you can consider outsourcing some parts of the process. Let’s look at 3D renders for example.
If you are already offering 3D as part of your design suite you can definitely outsource this whole component of the design process. All you need to do is come up with the concept design and then send it out to be rendered up in 3D, easy!
However, that isn’t always affordable for all designers. Plus we know that some designers actually come up with a lot of their ideas and design solutions while they are working in 3D, not 2D. It’s just how they work.
If this sounds like you, then we have a great hack to help speed up your design process.
3D Base Models Done For You
Rather than spending hours modeling the house and topography in SketchUp before you even start on the hardscapes, did you know that you can actually have that done for you?
SketchUp Base Models are a super easy way to make outsourcing work for you and your business without having to adapt and change your current process. They also come at a fraction of the price of traditional 3D rendering services, and often completed really fast!
No Costly Surprises
Pitch Box offers Sketch Up Base models to Landscape Designers and also Interior Designers and Architects at fixed prices. So you always know what the cost will be beforehand and you can decide if the project is worth the outsourced investment or not.
Pitch Box services are also on-demand, so you only pay for it when you need it, project by project. Does that sound better than paying weekly wages?
Flexibility
By ordering a SketchUp Base Model through Pitch Box you also have the flexibility of choosing how much detail you want. Maybe you just need the house modeled, or perhaps you’d like help with the topography and existing hardscapes as well. The choice is yours. Just place your order through the web based app, then send through your house plans, elevations and site survey and the model will be completed for you within 5-10 business days. Once you receive the base model, you are ready to hit the ground running with your design and your own rendering.
Systemized Workflow
One of the added benefits of outsourcing your SketchUp Base Models, is that you can build a predictable timeline of work which can help deliver reliability to your clients.
We all know that any business that has a streamlined workflow with efficient and repeatable processes is likely to be more profitable and usually run with less stress. By outsourcing your SketchUp Base Models, it forces you into an established workflow sequence. Following a sequence provides structure and certainty for both you and your clients. It helps to produce a high quality end product with consistency. Pitch Box, uses an exclusive, integrated app to simplify and streamline the flow of information when ordering and delivering services. It supports you all the way through, from start to finish.
Knowing that your SketchUp Base Models will be reliably completed by a certain date, gives you certainty in structuring your own design time and helps provide realistic delivery dates to your clients.
Summary – Flexible Businesses Succeed
We understand that not all designers work in the same way or have the same design process, and there is no perfect method when it comes to creative design. What we do know is that whatever your process, at some point you can probably do with some support. If you love designing in 3D and have a process that is working but just need to increase some capacity, outsourcing your sketchup base models could be a solution that works for you. By using an on-demand service provider such as Pitch Box you have nothing to lose. You can choose to just use the service when you are busy and do it yourself when you have more time. Or you may choose to spend that new found time on more value generating activities or growing your business.
In this climate it is the flexible businesses that succeed. All it takes is a shift in perspective and the courage to try something different.
