New Dental Clinic 2012: Animation

This is one service of many that we provide for our clients here at Downing Construction, Inc.  It is also one that we feel helps set us apart, in what can seem to be an infinite sea of possibilities for those looking to build or remodel.

This virtual animation was created near the end of the architectural design process.

 As we entered in the bidding and budgeting phase for the project, Dr. Tammy Rhea was having trouble visualizing what her new dental clinic was going to look like and how the general flow of the building was going to feel.  So, to help Dr. Rhea, we created the following animation:

This virtual walkthrough was created to help our client get a feel of what the interior of his new building was going to look like.

 It is our aim that, before a hole is ever dug, our client will feel comfortable with the product they will receive.  Animations are a useful tool that help answer our clients concerns, and achieve our philosophy in being “Committed to Customer Satisfaction.”
