Clients

Testimonials

“Our experience of working with Float was superb from start to finish. They created amazingly lifelike 3D renders of our projects, were incredibly fast at turning things around, and committed to the deadlines we faced. The end results were fantastic. We would definitely recommend Float to anyone looking for professional and accurate commissions.”

Suzy Kingswood – Director, 3 Design Scotland

“I have personally worked with Andy and Jo on projects both at home and abroad for more than a decade. The quality of their work is outstanding, and their attention to detail is always spot-on. I have been through the visualisation process hundreds of times with them, and still get excited seeing the various layers being added, but their final reveal to this day gets me every time.

Outstanding work that clients are always blown away by, as it gives them an invaluable sneak preview of their finished product, whilst adding a very valuable marketing tool.”

Jim Hamilton – Founder, Jim Hamilton Design

“I have worked with Float on various large-scale projects across the globe. Their creativity towards projects has worked well in assisting us with a range of requirements from photorealism to concept visualisation, and their ability to respond well to complex requirements in a highly design-driven environment has made them one of my key collaborators.”

Sanjay Tanwani – Director of Middle East Operations, AECOM

“We really enjoy working with Float. They have an instinctive understanding of what we are looking for and they have produced some outstanding visualisations that have supported our domestic and international projects. The quality of their work and collaborative approach integrates well with our design process, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is serious about communicating their design intent.”

David Ross - Director, Keppie Design
