Architectural Visualisation & Verified Views — Bath, UK
Twenty years of precision-led CGI and verified views — for architects, developers, and heritage bodies who need visuals that hold up under scrutiny.
Accuracy isn't enough. Your visualisation needs to be undeniable — technically credible to the inspector, and visually compelling to the decision-maker.
Construct Media — Bath, UK — founded 2003Founded in Bath in 2003. From early CGI to today's GPU-rendered photoreal environments.
Residential, commercial, hospitality and heritage — single dwellings to major regeneration schemes.
Every image built from architects' drawings and BIM models, matched to real-world conditions.
Fly-throughs, marketing films and walk-throughs — every frame produced by experienced professionals.

What we do
We produce images that are built to persuade — technically sound enough to satisfy a planning inspector, atmospheric enough to move a buyer. And we build the intelligence tools that help you understand your planning risk before the application lands.
01 / 03
Photo-real CGI for residential, commercial and mixed-use projects at every stage — from early planning submissions through to marketing material and sales launches. We work directly from architect's drawings and BIM models, matching materiality, light conditions and context with care.

02 / 03
Accurate Visual Representations produced to the standards demanded by planning authorities, heritage bodies and design review panels. Our verified views are built around rigorous surveyed camera positions and photographic methodology — they're made to withstand interrogation.

03 / 03
We develop tools and frameworks that help developers, planning consultants and local authorities understand visual planning risk before it becomes a problem. Through V-Score and our Advent Visual brand, we bring data-led rigour to the planning process — turning subjective visual assessment into defensible, evidence-based analysis.

Verified Views & AVRs
Accurate Visual Representations are the technical foundation of any contested planning submission. Ours are produced with the rigour that planning inspectors, conservation officers and design review panels expect — and the clarity that helps decision-makers understand what they're approving.

AVR Levels of Accuracy
Approximate representation from publicly available mapping. Suitable for early-stage design consultation and pre-application scoping.
Camera-matched photographic base with a geometrically accurate 3D model. Suitable for the majority of planning submissions and design review.
Full survey-controlled methodology with a detailed methodology report. Suitable for nationally significant schemes, heritage settings and contested applications.
We advise on the appropriate level for your project at brief stage. Most planning submissions require Level 2; heritage impact assessments typically require Level 3.
Planning Intelligence
The planning system asks developers to demonstrate that their scheme is acceptable. We build the tools and frameworks that help you understand your visual risk before that question is asked — and answer it with precision when it is.
V-Score
V-Score is a structured 35-point visual audit framework that evaluates a scheme's planning risk across the dimensions that most commonly drive refusal or appeal — townscape impact, heritage setting, cumulative effect, public realm quality and visual amenity. The output is a scored, documented report that gives developers, planning consultants and design teams a clear, evidence-based picture of where the visual case is strong and where it needs work — before the application is submitted.

Visit vscore.tech →Advent Visual
Advent Visual is Construct Media's dedicated brand for high-value heritage, conservation and luxury development work — where the stakes are highest and the standard of visual evidence must be correspondingly rigorous. Advent operates at the intersection of architectural precision, heritage sensitivity and planning intelligence, delivering verified views and visual risk management for schemes where scrutiny is intense and the cost of getting it wrong is significant.

Visit advent.art →Corridor Coordination
Where multiple schemes are coming forward in the same area simultaneously, the visual evidence base fragments. Each developer commissions independent photography, surveys and camera positions to different standards — making cumulative impact impossible to assess with rigour. We establish unified visual baselines for regeneration corridors: one survey framework, one photographic standard, one set of agreed viewpoints — shared across all schemes, maintained annually, and updated as each application progresses.

Visual Risk Management
Planning committees and design review panels increasingly scrutinise the quality and methodology of visual submissions. A technically correct AVR is necessary but not sufficient — the evidence must also be legible to non-specialist decision-makers. We work with developers and planning consultants to ensure that every visual submission is technically defensible, clearly presented and strategically positioned to support the planning case rather than merely illustrate it.
