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 />

Engineer on the team.<br />
