In addition to cad drawings, computer renderings and 3d modeling, Abbey Associates offers several different formats to present our work to clients. With the product already in digital format it is simple to use our graphic techniques with any of the presentation methods listed below.

Web Sites
Web sites are an effective tool for presenting material for clients that is easily accessible from any computer with an Internet connection. This allows clients to review material without coming to the office and allows them to share with others simply by giving the web site address. Please follow this link to see examples of web sites created for projects.

Compact Discs
Compacts Discs are used for larger projects due to file size limitations of a web site. Projects that require large amounts of drawings to convey the design intent benefit greatly from the capacity of a compact disc. This format is also useful for presentations when waiting for pictures to download from a site would not be acceptable.

Power Point Presentations
This versatile format arranges text and graphics in a way that can easily be converted to other formats. Power Point presentations are often used for presentations, can be converted to a web site and can be published to a compact disc.

Visual Presentations
Visual presentations are often a combination of several methods. The use of printed drawings along side a computer presentation is essential for large group presentations. Printed drawings allow those attending a meeting to take time to carefully observe details following a computer or traditional presentation.

Graphic Documents
Written reports for larger projects are a necessity, only a limited amount of material can be provided during a presentation. Abbey Associates uses word processing software, incorporating graphics with text to clearly demonstrate the various aspects of the design processsuch as research, observation, design process,recommendations and implementation of the design.

Animation
For projects using 3d modeling, animation is another option to graphically present the design. Walk throughs and fly overs show the client how the space will be perceived at completion and allows the client to view the project from all angles. This option is used primarily for larger projects due to the large amount of time required to create an animation but can be used for any sized project when needed.
