Visualizing

Posted in Business, Movies with tags , , , , , on 21 May 2009 by charles gierman associates

Over the last 15 years we have provided our clients with art work.

It started with blueprints of the front using felt tip markers to add color. As new software came out, we colored using the computer. People like the idea of having their images sent to them by email. Progress has brought us to the world of 3D. We started doing isometric views with landscaping and shadows. After that we added color and texture. Now we are able to do flyarounds. Our clients enjoy knowing what their projects will look like, even before the ground is broken.

Below you will see some of the movies we have done. Please keep checking our pages to the right for new additions in both floors plans and flyarounds.

New Plans

Posted in Commercial Plans, Residential Plans with tags , , , , on 18 May 2009 by charles gierman associates

What a wonderful weekend. Saturday we received 1.25” of rain. It was a nice slow rain. The next morning when I went for a walk, the temperature was 12 degrees cooler.


Now about the new plans.


We have added two new projects, one residential and one commercial.
The home is 3,350 square feet of living area. The view is to the front overlooking a lake.
The commercial building has a total square footage of 28,000. The largest building will be used for gymnastic training. The smaller building will be for swimming lessons, batting cages and parties.
If you have any comments, I look forward to reading them.
