This class introduces Geotechnical Engineering and why<br />
the Geotechnical Report is important in the construction of<br />
any foundation. Below is an overview of topics that will be<br />
covered as part of the presentation:<br />
• Why is Geotechnical Engineering important?<br />
• When is the Geotechnical Engineering report needed?<br />
• How is the scope of services determined?<br />
are being laid. The challenge in visualization often lies<br />
in presenting an image that accurately represents the<br />
end result, in a way that doesn’t detract from the overall<br />
presentation with cartoony or unrealistic details. From<br />
considering the lighting source, angles, textures, materials,<br />
and background, to checking the edges and making sure<br />
there aren’t any unrealistic shadows - an expert eye is<br />
vital in presenting professional marketing. In this seminar,<br />
we discuss some of the most common problems we see<br />
in renders and how to avoid them when marketing your<br />
property and help to fetch that higher sale price.<br />
