The equation a studio faces
Your client wants to understand the project, and static images do not fully deliver that. A real-time digital twin solves it, but producing one requires a team fluent in Unreal Engine, hardware and a continuous pipeline.
For most practices that investment does not amortise unless project flow is steady. Build the team and it sits idle; do not build it and you cannot offer the service.
The partnership model breaks that equation: you use the capacity when needed instead of carrying it as fixed cost.
White-label: under your own brand
The track most architecture studios choose. The digital twin becomes part of your service portfolio, presented under your brand. The client relationship stays entirely with you.
Production, real-time engine setup, delivery and updates happen behind the scenes at MPANDO. Pricing freedom is yours.
This is designed for studios that need to protect brand equity and remain the single point of contact for their client.
Sales partnership: recommend and earn
Some studios prefer not to take the service into their own portfolio and instead refer the client directly to MPANDO. Commission or referral tracks fit that.
This suits studios that do not want to carry visualisation responsibility on the project but do want to point their client to the right solution. Responsibility transfers, revenue share is retained.
Effect on your workflow
The partnership does not change your design process. You hand over model data in a usable format; production continues from there.
- Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp or AutoCAD output is used as input
- Data irrelevant to visualisation is stripped from your BIM model on the MPANDO side
- Your material and lighting decisions are preserved; design intent remains yours
- Visual sign-off at interim deliveries stays with you
- Post-delivery revisions are managed as versions
Why it matters for a studio
Three concrete benefits stand out.
First, competitive advantage at proposal stage: a studio that can promise a walkable real-time presentation differentiates from one promising renders only.
Second, design decisions become easier to communicate. Instead of debating a façade alternative, you show it.
Third, an additional revenue line that produces margin without carrying fixed team cost.
