Industrial CGI Services
Industrial CGI services for UK developers, architects, and agents
Photoreal architectural visualisation for warehouse, distribution, fulfilment, data centre, and light industrial estate schemes, delivered in 10 working days with three revision rounds. Used as planning evidence, pre-let marketing, and investor presentation across the UK in 2026.

One pipeline, nine UK industrial typologies
One coordinated 3D production pipeline serves nine UK industrial typologies, from the dock-line of a big-box distribution centre to the frontage rhythm of a multi-unit light industrial estate.
Sub-typologies (cross-dock, cold-chain, BREEAM-certified, AI hyperscale, BESS, substation) are visualised inside the parent typology brief without splitting the production pipeline.
Planning evidence imagery
CGI for Reserved Matters, Design and Access Statements, S73 amendments, and planning committee presentations. StratumCGI renders verified-view aerial frames, ground-level approach studies, and neighbour-perspective imagery.
-
Frame 01
Verified-view aerial
Photogrammetry-aligned aerial frame at the camera position the LPA accepts as evidence.
-
Frame 02
Ground-level approach
Pedestrian-eye view of the site entry, gatehouse, signage totem, and access road geometry.
-
Frame 03
Neighbour perspective
Massing study from the nearest residential or amenity edge, with screening and boundary treatment in context.
Pre-let, leasing, and investor renderings
Photoreal CGI for leasing brochures, occupier-ready frontage close-ups, investor pack imagery, NDA-safe publication, SCGI reference-code system.
-
Leasing packFrontage and dock detail
Frontage close-ups, dock-face detail, signage zones, and occupier finish at letting-brochure register.
-
Investor packMasterplan and valuation imagery
Masterplan aerials and valuation-grade frames, anonymised on request under the SCGI portfolio policy.
-
Occupier reviewYard and operational fit
Yard depth, parking ratio, signage zones, and HGV manoeuvring confirmed before the occupier walks the site.
Operational proof, not just frontage
Frontage-only renders fail planning officers and investors. Yard depth, HGV manoeuvring, dock rhythm, parking ratio, attenuation pond, and BREEAM signal must all read in the image set. StratumCGI renders, models, and resolves those operational facts. The studio does not stop at the elevation.
BREEAM-certified developments, biodiversity net gain overlays, and EV-charging infrastructure all read in the same coordinated image set, without splitting the production pipeline.
Production process and turnaround
Four production stages from CAD intake to NDA-safe delivery. Standard schedule is ten working days per scheme, with three revision rounds included.
-
01
Brief intake
CAD or BIM source review, site context, camera intent, NDA in place before any geometry leaves the studio.
-
02
Base model
3D base model built, camera positions and verified-view angles locked, daylight rig set across the shell.
-
03
Lighting and revisions
Lighting passes, render rounds, three revision rounds included as standard, phased delivery against committee dates.
-
04
Delivery
Final frames delivered, NDA-safe publication on request, SCGI reference-code archive retained for the project.

Industrial CGI FAQ
Five questions cover scope, pricing, pipeline reuse, and which typology page to start with for an industrial CGI commission.
What is industrial CGI?
Industrial CGI is photoreal architectural visualisation produced for warehouse, distribution, fulfilment, data centre, industrial estate, and other industrial property typologies. The output supports planning evidence, pre-let marketing, and investor presentation. It models operational facts (yard depth, dock rhythm, parking ratio, BREEAM signal), not just facade elevation.
How much does industrial CGI cost in the UK?
Single verified-view frames start at around £1,100 per still, with a one-off base modelling fee of £4,200 to £9,700 for the scheme shell. Six-frame commissions for warehouse and logistics schemes typically land between £12,500 and £28,000. Pricing varies with typology, scheme scale, and whether the brief is a single planning frame or a multi-stage marketing pack.
How is industrial CGI different from a generic commercial render?
Industrial CGI proves operational viability. A generic commercial render shows the building. An industrial render frames the yard, the dock-line, the access sequence, the parking ratio, and the attenuation pond, because those are the elements planning officers and investment committees test before they sign.
Can one industrial CGI model support planning, leasing, and occupier review?
Yes. StratumCGI builds one coordinated 3D model and renders single verified views and multi-frame pre-let and marketing packages from the same geometry. Cross-dock variants, cold-chain configurations, BREEAM-certified developments, and hyperscale data centre clusters resolve inside the same production pipeline.
Which typology page should I start with for a logistics brief?
Start with the typology that owns the dominant audience for your scheme. Warehouse and logistics CGI covers the broad industrial-shed register. Distribution centre CGI targets big-box throughput. Fulfilment centre CGI targets dispatch-led mezzanine schemes. Data centre CGI targets hyperscale and edge campuses. Send a brief and the studio will map your project to the closest typology within a working day.
Industrial CGI services
Industrial CGI commissions include planning evidence frames, pre-let marketing packs, investor pack imagery, and occupier-ready frontage detail, prepared from your CAD or BIM source, masterplan, landscape plan, and phasing diagram. NDA-safe publication on request.
