A residential scale model is the centrepiece of an off-plan sales gallery — the single object that turns a floor plan into a place a buyer can picture living. Developers commission them to build buyer confidence before a single unit is built, letting prospective buyers physically locate their unit, see the view from their floor, and read the development as a whole community rather than a stack of drawings.
On a 120-unit residential estate in Lekki, Lagos, our 1:200 LED-lit model became the centrepiece of the sales gallery — 90% of Phase 1 units were reserved within 90 days of the gallery opening, with buyers citing the model directly in their purchase decision.
Residential models are typically built at 1:100 to 1:500 depending on the number of units and the level of unit-level detail required. Individual building types are modelled digitally as master components, then reproduced via 3D printing for facade detail and laser-cut acrylic for wall panels and roofing, with LED lighting integrated for sales-gallery use.
Typically 2-6 weeks depending on unit count and detail level — larger phased estates may take longer.
1:200 is our most common scale for multi-unit estates — it balances individual-unit legibility with a manageable overall model size. Smaller developments can go as detailed as 1:100.
Yes — interior LED lighting is standard on our sales-gallery models, and can be zoned to highlight specific phases or unit types.
