Distinguish a correction from a new instruction
A correction addresses an image that does not match the agreed source information. A new design instruction changes that source information, such as a different window layout, revised roof or new cabinetry design. Both can be discussed, but they may affect the project differently.
Keep a copy of the drawing issue and finish schedule used for the quote. When updated documents arrive, identify the changed areas rather than asking the artist to discover every difference between two complete sets.
Write comments that are easy to action
Number feedback against a marked image. Use a material name, product reference or drawing detail instead of an unqualified direction such as “make it more premium.” Explain whether a reference controls color, texture, shape or the overall mood.
| Comment type | Useful example | What to attach |
|---|---|---|
| Correction | Window W03 should match the approved elevation | Current elevation and marked location |
| Material refinement | Use the specified matte finish on the island | Finish code or product reference |
| New design instruction | The entry roof has been redesigned | Revised drawing issue |
| New camera | Add a view toward the rear courtyard | Marked plan and desired framing |
Consolidate stakeholders before returning a round
Ask one person to resolve conflicting comments from the builder, architect, interior designer and marketing team. A single coordinated list is more useful than separate messages that change the same surface in different ways.
Review the entire proof before sending that list. Approve unchanged items explicitly where possible, then check the next proof against the numbered comments. This reduces the chance of reopening a decision without understanding its effect on other views.
Confirm the commercial scope before additional work
Revision allowances, extra cameras and redesign work should be defined in the quote. Do not assume that a new room, different lighting version or changed building geometry is included because an existing scene has already been modeled.
If a deadline is fixed, tell the studio which corrections are essential for the release and which changes can be scoped later. Confirm any revised cost or delivery schedule before extending production.
