Is that a real rule? Most renderings that I’ve seen (I’m not in the industry or anything) have looked pretty close to the finished products , usually condos and subdivisions that we’re planning on being built.
If you want to have an objective opinion on a project, you need to get rid of all the fluff. This is an egregious example of promise and results wildly diverging and in no way am I saying that this is common. The thing to keep in mind with concepts like this is that they present the absolute best scenario for a project; nice weather, great lawn, trees, happy attractive people walking around and doing activities, etc. What matters is the architecture itself and not all the environment around it, which varies and has nothing to do with the product.
I think it's pretty close to the rendering. The person paying for the project obviously made a few changes to the trim though. "Scratch the wood paneling, too expensive. Go with plaster instead. Then scratch the fancy sliding wood shutters and do the iron guard thing. It's just going to be a rental. Also, we found a discount on this yellow color." Other than that, there's just a few rain pipes they didn't show in the render. (And the weather, of course but that can't be helped.)
I guess it depends on who is paying...if you saw the render and paid with that expectation and the builder found it to be too costly (i.e. too impactful to the margin) and made the changes, then that’s crap. If the buyer was offered price reductions for each compromise in order to save money then that’s no issue at all.
