The Creative

The sky’s never the limit

Whether it’s a new stadium, a brand new bridge or an exciting addition to a housing estate; every construction project needs to be designed and creatives are here to do just that.

Creatives combine artistic ability with a mathematical and methodical approach. They’re no stranger to technology in design and use their visual capabilities to get projects off the ground.

Creatives often:
Create sketches, build layouts, and make calculations
Work closely with architectural and design teams
Keep up with software advances in design
Present and explain visuals to colleagues and clients
Have an organised and methodical approach to work
Investigate various materials to determine which would be the best to use

Creative people do not see things merely for what they are; they see them for what they can be."

3D visualisers bring architects’ ideas to life, taking plans, architectural illustrations and other reference materials and using these to produce photo-realistic 3D images or animations of proposed buildings and developments. As a 3D visualiser, you’ll need to be both creative and technically-minded, in order to model prospective buildings that will both function well and look good.
