Speed matters more than polish at this stage. **Planning submissions.** Clear, credible visuals help officers and communities understand a proposal. In our September 2026 survey, 36% of paying Gendo users had used Gendo visuals in a planning application, and 24 of those applications had already been approved. **Pre-sales and lettings.** Interiors, amenity spaces and street views help buyers picture a home before it is built, and options can be tested with agents before the final campaign is commissioned. ## Traditional real estate CGI or Gendo | | Traditional CGI studio | Gendo | | --- | --- | --- | | Cost | Typically £250–£2,300 per view; animation from about £3,000 per minute | Studio plan from £79 a month for 5 seats, unlimited image generations | | Turnaround | Days to weeks | Minutes per render | | Scheme changes | New fees for updated views | Update imagery as the design changes | | Best for | Flagship sales campaigns and animation | Funding, planning, design reviews and early marketing | ## Examples Image: Massing model converted to a photorealistic real estate exterior render with Gendo (https://gendo.ai/_assets/marketing/ai-arch-after.png) Image: Massing model of a residential development before rendering (https://gendo.ai/_assets/marketing/ai-arch-before.png) Massing Gendo render Image: 3D model view converted to a photorealistic property render with Gendo (https://gendo.ai/_assets/marketing/bespoke-after.png) Image: Untextured 3D model view of a house before rendering (https://gendo.ai/_assets/marketing/bespoke-before.png) Model Gendo render ## Frequently asked questions ### ### Can Gendo renders be used in property marketing? ### ### Do we need a finished 3D model? ### ### Who owns the images? ## Property visuals that keep pace with the design.
