3D Design Services in Pierce County
Your 3d design project, built for University Place homes
Good 3d design work starts with the homes it happens in — and after five generations across the South Sound, we know University Place's.
University Place is largely 1950s through 1970s ramblers and daylight ramblers, many with westward Sound and Olympic views, plus waterfront homes on Day Island and newer townhomes and customs near the Chambers Bay golf course.
View and waterfront work defines a lot of what we do in UP: opening west-facing walls, rebuilding decks, and converting daylight basements into full living space above Chambers Bay and the Narrows. Permits go through the City of University Place, and Day Island projects can add shoreline considerations that we help homeowners navigate. The city's mid-century housing stock is structurally solid but often carries original kitchens and baths, which makes for satisfying before-and-afters.

Why homeowners choose us
3D Design Services the design-build way
The most expensive mistakes in remodeling happen on paper — or worse, in imagination. That's why Home Renovation Design & Build built a full design studio in-house: before any University Place project breaks ground, our designers create photorealistic 3D models of your future kitchen, bathroom, addition, or entire home. You walk through the space on screen, see your actual finish selections in your actual room proportions, test alternatives, and make every decision with your eyes instead of your best guess.
Because our designers sit next to our builders, our 3D designs aren't pretty fantasies — they're buildable, priced, and permit-ready. Every rendering reflects real structural feasibility, real product selections, and real Pierce County code requirements, which is why our design phase flows directly into accurate fixed-price proposals and complete permit submittals we handle for you. Backed by five generations of construction knowledge and full licensing and insurance (WA license HOMERDB750MH), our design process is where great projects are actually won.
See your finished project before it exists
Photorealistic renderings and 3D walkthroughs of your remodeled space — real dimensions, real finishes, real lighting — replace guesswork with certainty.
Designs a builder has already vetted
Every concept is reviewed against structure, systems, and budget by the team that will build it, so nothing you fall in love with turns out to be unbuildable.
Compare options cheaply, on screen
Test two layouts, three cabinet colors, or the wall-removal question in the model — where changes cost a conversation instead of a change order.
Selections locked before construction
Cabinetry, tile, fixtures, and finishes are chosen within the design, producing accurate pricing, confirmed lead times, and a project that doesn't stall mid-build.
Permit-ready documentation
Design deliverables become the drawings your jurisdiction needs — and we prepare, submit, and manage the permit package ourselves.
Design fees that work toward your build
When you build with us, your design investment is credited into the construction contract — the design phase becomes the foundation of the project, not an extra bill.
The process
How your University Place project unfolds
Vision session
We measure your existing space, gather inspiration and priorities, and define the scope and budget targets your design should serve.
Concept development
Our designers produce initial layouts and 3D concepts — often with a couple of distinct directions — for your reaction and refinement.
Refinement & selections
We iterate the model with you, finalize materials and fixtures, and resolve structural and code questions with our build team in real time.
Final renderings & fixed proposal
You receive photorealistic renderings of the approved design plus a detailed fixed-price construction proposal built from it.
Permits & handoff to construction
We convert the design into permit documents, manage jurisdiction approval, and transition seamlessly into the build — same team, same model, no translation loss.
Investment
What 3d design projects cost
Design packages in the University Place area typically range from $2,500–$6,000 for single-room projects like kitchens and bathrooms to $8,000–$20,000+ for additions, whole-home renovations, and custom home design — and when you build with us, that investment is credited toward your construction contract. Initial design consultations are free, and financing is available for the full project.
Financing assistance available

3D Design Services questions in University Place
How long does the design process take?
Single-room designs typically take 2–4 weeks from measurement to final renderings; additions and whole-home designs run 6–12 weeks including engineering coordination. It's the fastest schedule insurance there is — decisions made now don't stop construction later.
Do I have to build with you if you design my project?
No — the design is yours. That said, most University Place clients continue with us because the fixed price attached to the design is real and the design fee credits into construction. Design-build only works as a value when both halves are excellent, and that's the bet we make.
Are your 3D renderings really accurate to the final result?
Yes — that's the point of doing design inside a construction firm. Renderings are built from field measurements and actual product selections, so the completed project matches what you approved on screen, room proportions and all.
Does the design phase handle permits too?
It leads directly into them. We develop the design into permit-ready drawings, coordinate any structural engineering, and submit and manage the permit application with your local jurisdiction — you never touch the process.
What does 3D design cost?
Most single-room design packages run $2,500–$6,000 and larger projects $8,000–$20,000+, credited toward construction when we build the project. Your first consultation is free, and you'll know the design fee before committing to anything.
