ARCHITECTURAL TECHNICIAN / SKETCHUP MODELLER REQUIRED PROJECT: 13–15 Bridge Street, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, PE27 5AA PROJECT TYPE: Planning Application – Conservation Area ("SketchUp photo-matched planning photomontage from supplied DWG files and officer viewpoint photograph.") REQUIRED TIMESCALE: 7–10 days maximum OVERVIEW I require an experienced Architectural Technician, SketchUp Modeller, Architectural Technologist, or Planning Visualisation Specialist to prepare a planning-focused photomontage and contextual 3D visualisation for a planning application. The property is the former Post Office at 13–15 Bridge Street, St Ives. The Local Planning Authority (Huntingdonshire District Council) has requested visual evidence showing the appearance of a proposed second-floor roof extension when viewed from St Ives Bridge looking north along Bridge Street. The planning officer has specifically requested an Accurate Visual Representation / 3D View demonstrating the visibility (or limited visibility) of the proposed roof extension within the street scene. PROJECT OBJECTIVE The purpose of the visualisation is not marketing. The purpose is to provide planning evidence demonstrating: • How the proposed roof extension sits within the existing streetscape; • Whether the roof extension is visible from St Ives Bridge; • The extent to which the extension is concealed behind the existing parapet; • The relationship of the extension to neighbouring buildings; • The impact (if any) on the St Ives Conservation Area. MATERIALS AVAILABLE The successful applicant will be provided with: • Existing street photograph taken from St Ives Bridge; • Existing architectural drawings; • Proposed architectural drawings; • Elevations; • Sections; • Roof plans; • DWG files; • Planning officer comments; • Additional photographs identifying the application building. IMPORTANT SITE IDENTIFICATION The application building is: 13–15 Bridge Street Former Post Office The correct building is the red-brick building with arched ground-floor openings and former Post Office frontage. This building is visible from St Ives Bridge and has been identified on reference photographs. The visualisation must be applied to this building only. REQUIRED TASKS Review all supplied drawings and photographs. Build a simple contextual 3D model sufficient to represent: • 13–15 Bridge Street; • Immediate neighbouring buildings; • Existing parapet; • Proposed roof extension. Match the supplied St Ives Bridge photograph. Insert the proposed roof extension into the existing photograph. Produce planning-quality images showing: A. Existing view. B. Proposed view. C. Annotated proposed view identifying: • Existing parapet; • Proposed roof extension; • Setback from parapet; • Principal roof form. D. Optional wireframe overlay demonstrating visibility. KEY DESIGN INFORMATION The proposed extension: • Is not a full third storey. • Is recessed behind the existing parapet. • Is set back approximately 1.5 metres from the Bridge Street frontage. • Utilises a pitched roof form. • Has been deliberately designed to minimise visibility from public viewpoints. The visualisation must accurately reflect these design characteristics. IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS This is a planning visualisation. Accuracy is significantly more important than artistic quality. The successful applicant must NOT: • Invent architecture; • Exaggerate visibility; • Increase building dimensions; • Alter the existing street scene; • Produce a marketing CGI; • Modify the viewpoint. The existing street photograph should remain unchanged except for insertion of the proposed roof extension. DESIRED SOFTWARE Any of the following is acceptable: • SketchUp • Revit • AutoCAD • Rhino • Twinmotion • Photoshop • Equivalent professional software DELIVERABLES Existing View (JPEG/PDF) Proposed Photomontage (JPEG/PDF) Annotated Version (JPEG/PDF) Optional SketchUp or model file if available Brief methodology note explaining: • software used; • photo-matching approach; • assumptions made. EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Please provide: • examples of previous planning photomontages; • conservation-area visualisations; • SketchUp photo-match work; • planning application graphics. Please include: • fixed fee quotation; • anticipated completion date; • examples of comparable projects. The successful applicant will be appointed immediately.

Hi there, Submitting a planning photomontage for a Conservation Area requires absolute mathematical accuracy. It is not just about producing an aesthetic render, but executing a precise SketchUp Photo-Match where the 3D geometry derived from your DWG files aligns perfectly with the focal length, camera height, and perspective grid of the officer’s viewpoint photograph to satisfy council scrutiny. As an Architect and BIM Manager experienced in contextual integration and high-standard documentation, I ensure that the massing, ridge heights, and boundary constraints match the site realities flawlessly. My Deliverables for the Photomontage: DWG to 3D Translation: Accurate modeling of the proposed architectural shell in SketchUp based strictly on your supplied survey and drawing datasets. Precision Photo-Matching: Exact camera alignment and lighting/shadow replication to match the environmental conditions of the officer's viewpoint photograph. Planning-Ready Package: Delivery of high-resolution, uncompressed presentation images (PDF/PNG) illustrating the authentic contextual impact, alongside the native .skp file. I guarantee a rigorous technical approach and a professional graphic standard. I invite you to check my profile portfolio to verify my architectural standards. Ready for an immediate start.

I understand you need a high-quality, photo-matched SketchUp photomontage for a conservation area planning application, similar to the detailed contextual visualisations that have successfully supported previous applications. My expertise lies in translating technical drawings into accurate and compelling visual evidence that meets planning officer requirements. My approach involves precisely importing your DWG plans into SketchUp, meticulously aligning them with the provided officer viewpoint photograph using established photo-matching techniques. I will then develop a detailed 3D model of the proposed development, ensuring accurate scale, massing, and material representation. The final output will be a high-resolution, photorealistic rendering seamlessly integrated with the existing site context. What is the preferred file format for the DWG plans? Are there any specific material palettes or key design elements that require particular emphasis in the visualisation? I'm confident I can deliver this within your 7-10 day timeframe and would welcome a brief chat to confirm project details.

Hi how are you doing well? I can prepare the planning-focused SketchUp photo-matched photomontage and contextual 3D visualization for 13–15 Bridge Street, St Ives, using the supplied DWG files, drawings, officer viewpoint photograph, and planning comments. I lead a strong architectural visualization team with solid experience in SketchUp, AutoCAD, Revit, Photoshop, 3D modeling, planning photomontages, conservation-area visuals, and accurate visual representation for council submissions. My approach will focus on accuracy, not marketing CGI. First, I will review the existing/proposed drawings, elevations, sections, roof plans, site photos, and officer comments. Then I will create a simple contextual model of the former Post Office, neighbouring buildings, parapet, and recessed pitched roof extension. I will photo-match the St Ives Bridge viewpoint and insert only the proposed roof extension without altering the existing street scene or exaggerating visibility. Deliverables will include existing view, proposed photomontage, annotated proposed view, optional wireframe overlay/model file, and a brief methodology note explaining software, assumptions, and photo-match process. One important question before starting: is the officer’s exact viewpoint photograph already fixed and approved for use, or should visibility be checked against additional reference photos too? I can meet the 7–10 day timeline and would be glad to become your long-term planning visualization partner.
