- Effective communication
Architectural models can be easily understood by anyone, with or without experience, something that is not often possible with a drawn plan, being able to provide the beneficiary, the builder and the designer with a common denominator in order to discuss and notice what changes can be made in the project stage.

Testing the project before it is completed is essential, the pedestrian and car entrances, the parking lots and the green spaces can be checked before, in order to notice in this way if the project will use the available location effectively. At this stage, it will be possible to eliminate certain problems related to the design, and the construction can be considerably improved.
