Large-scale masterplan and mixed-use models are among the most complex and rewarding challenges in architectural modelmaking — and skilled specialists in this area are always sought after.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connected to modelmaking companies and workshops producing large-scale site models for leading architecture firms, local authorities, and developers. We work with studios that specialise in masterplan models that inform planning decisions and public consultations, and our ongoing briefings give us early sight of team growth.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
Across the workshops we partner with, the recurring requirements for modelmakers specialising in masterplan and mixed-use work include:
• Experience producing masterplan models at scales between 1:500 and 1:2500
• Careful interpretation of urban design proposals, landscape strategies, and infrastructure layouts
• Terrain construction skills from contour data with realistic representation of topography
• Detailed representation of existing and proposed buildings at consistent quality standards
• Specialist landscaping techniques using a variety of materials for realistic environmental detailing
• LED lighting installation for dramatic presentation effects
• Safe packaging and transportation coordination for large-scale completed models
