“This is going to bring me to tears!”

Martin Roberts, UK Property expert and TV presenter

How Martin Roberts brought his vision to life with CGI and VR. Why Design and Build Firms should too

When UK property expert and TV personality Martin Roberts took on the restoration of a derelict 19th-century miner’s hotel in the Welsh Valleys, he knew it would be a complex and ambitious project. But as with many large-scale builds, the real challenge was not just the construction. It was ensuring everyone involved could see and understand the same vision.

The communication challenge in construction

Clients often have a clear picture of what they want, but explaining it in a way that makes sense to everyone can be difficult. Miscommunication leads to delays, revisions, and design compromises. For design and build firms, this can result in frustration and an increase in cost.

This is where Modunite’s 3D CGI and VR tools made a real difference.

These tools helped Martin and his team fully visualise both the interior and exterior in context. They were able to explore layout options, test décor and finishes, and make collaborative design choices before any building work began.

  • Photorealistic 3D CGI renderings
  • Virtual reality walkthroughs
  • Video flythroughs and marketing content
