Introducing Our CGI Render Service
Since 2020, Clifford Design House has been working alongside joiners, carpenters, and builders across the UK - producing precise, build-ready CAD drawings, cut lists, and technical packages that help trade professionals deliver better work, win better clients, and run smoother workshops. Hundreds of projects later, we know this industry well. We know how clients think, where decisions stall, and what it takes to get a job over the line.
Which is why we’re pleased to introduce the next addition to what we offer: a professional CGI rendering service, available alongside your existing drawing package or as a standalone service in its own right.
What Is CGI rendering?
CGI - computer-generated imagery - takes your design beyond the technical drawing and into something your client can truly see. Where a CAD drawing communicates dimensions, construction, and layout with precision, a photorealistic CGI render shows the finished result: the grain of the timber, the warmth of the lighting, the exact colour of the paint, the hardware catching the light, the worktop sitting against the cabinetry.
It is, in short, the closest thing to showing your client a photograph of a project that doesn’t exist yet.
Our renders are produced to a high standard - realistic materials, accurate lighting, and the specific finishes and details of each individual project. With an advanced understanding of what works and what doesn’t in the workshop and in the home, we’re able to refine and analyse our CGI renders to ensure accuracy at every possible point. Plus, every render is built from your actual design, which means what the client sees is exactly what you’re building.
How does this benefit you as a joiner or carpenter?
The decision to commission bespoke joinery is a significant one for most clients. It involves a level of trust - trust that the finished piece will look the way they imagined, sit in the space the way they hoped, and justify the investment they’re making. The gap between that trust and hesitation is often simply a failure of visualisation, and this is why some of the bigger cabinetry brands often succeed - because they can offer advanced visualisation.
Our CGI render service puts you on a more even playing field. A standard 3D CAD drawing goes further and for many clients, this can be enough. But for complex projects, high-value commissions, or clients who struggle to read more technical drawings, a photorealistic render closes the gap entirely. The client stops imagining and starts seeing and when they can see it, they can commit to it.
Here are the specific benefits for your business:
Faster client sign-off. When a client can see exactly what they’re getting - realistic materials, accurate proportions, the right lighting - the approval conversation becomes significantly shorter. Fewer rounds of “can we just tweak...” and more “yes, let’s go.”
Fewer revisions mid-project. A significant proportion of mid-build changes stem from a client’s expectations not matching the reality of what was agreed. A CGI render aligns those expectations before anything is cut. What the client approved in the render is what arrives on site - and they know it.
More confident client presentations. Walking into a client meeting with a photorealistic render of their bespoke kitchen or fitted wardrobe is a different experience entirely from rolling out a drawing. It positions you as a professional at the top of your trade, capable of delivering not just the craft but the full client experience that surrounds it.
Stronger proposals for competitive jobs. When you’re quoting against other joiners for a significant commission, the quality of your presentation is part of what you’re being judged on. A CGI render alongside your quote demonstrates investment, capability, and attention to detail - before the job has even been awarded.
Increased conversion on high-value projects. The higher the project value, the more a client needs to feel certain before they commit. CGI renders provide that certainty in a way that other visual tools simply can’t match. For kitchens, large fitted furniture schemes, and complex joinery commissions, the render often makes the difference between a quote and a confirmed order.
Support for your marketing. A high-quality CGI render of a project - especially one that showcases your best work - is a useful marketing asset. It can be used on your website, your Instagram, your proposals, and your client presentations. Before the project is even built, you have imagery that represents the standard of your work.
Alongside your drawings or as a solo service
We’ve designed the joinery CGI render service to work the way you work. If you already use Clifford Design House for your CAD drawings and cut lists, adding a CGI render to your package is a natural extension of the same process - we already have the design, we already understand the brief, and producing the render is a seamless next step.
If you’re coming to us for a render on its own - perhaps you have your own drawing process but want the client-facing visual to be a step above - that works too. We’ll take your existing design information and produce a render that does the job it needs to do: show your client what they’re getting and give them the confidence to say yes.
For those who want a fully joined-up process from brief through to manufactured components, our Trade Design & Supply service covers every stage - including CGI renders as part of the complete package.
Built on years of trade experience
What makes our CGI renders different from a generic visualisation service is the same thing that makes our drawings different: we understand how joinery is actually built. We’ve been working with joiners, carpenters, and builders since 2020 - and beyond this, we worked in bespoke bar and product design for high-end brands.
We know the materials, the tolerances, the hardware, the finishes. We know what a shaker door looks like in Farrow & Ball Mizzle next to a Silestone worktop under warm kitchen lighting - and we know how to render it accurately enough that your client sees the same thing you see when you close your eyes and picture the finished job.
That knowledge is baked into every render we produce and the result is a visual that is credible, accurate and beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to produce a CGI render?
We can work from your existing CAD drawings, a detailed sketch, or a written brief with material and finish specifications. The more detail you can provide on finishes, hardware, and the installation space, the more accurate the render will be. If you’re unsure what to send, get in touch and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I add a CGI render to an existing drawing package?
Yes - if we’ve already produced CAD drawings for your project, adding a render is straightforward. We already have the design information we need, which keeps the process efficient and the turnaround fast.
How long does a render take to produce?
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the project. We’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront so you can factor it into your client conversations and project schedule. For time-sensitive projects, contact us directly to discuss what’s possible.
Is the render service available for all project types?
Yes. We produce renders for bespoke kitchens, fitted furniture, cabinetry, wardrobes, media walls, and joinery of all kinds. If it can be designed, it can be rendered.
