→ 01 / The brief
What they came with.
Mchoro Mawe’s craft — hand drawing, 3D rendering, then bespoke joinery — was being undersold by a generic contractor brochure. They needed a site that read like the studio actually works: render first, agree the cut, then build.
→ 02 / Approach
What we did.
We anchored the homepage around a render-vs-built drag-to-compare and four discipline tiles (frameless glass, gypsum, joinery, partitioning). The studio’s 3D pipeline became the proof, not the pitch. Every project page is a hand-drawn plan + render + photograph triptych.

What changed.
Booked site visits became the primary conversion. The studio no longer competes on price — clients arrive having already walked through the room on screen, signed off the cut, and chosen the finish. Variations on site disappeared.
"They drew the entire fit-out before any contractor arrived. Eleven weeks later we walked into exactly the room we had signed off in 3D."
