To put photos/images in CV
(OP)
would it be acceptable to include pictures or 3-D images etc from projects in my CV in order to give a clear indiction of the project I have worked on and help differentiate myself from other CV's?

I had to crop aggressively and use very low resolution to keep the word doc size under common resume mangler limits.

1. Were they responsible for creating and co-ordinating the BIM model or were they responsible for supervising the staff who created the model?
2. Were the involved with the concept and schematic design during design development days with the architect and/or contractor if the contractor was involved during the early stages?
3. What elements was the person responsible for designing and detailing. Floor slab, lateral force resisting system?
4. Did the person perform site inspections, converse with builders and/or review shop drawings?
5. What management was the person responsible for?
If the reader is impressed with the renders then it will create some topics to discuss during the interview.
Another issue that my be arise from including renders is copyright and using images for yourself that are legally the property of the principles of the company and should not be used without permission.
If you do put images in your resume, please inform this forum on the success rate, because if it is a winning formula then I want to start including renders in my resume.

Images can paint a thousand words but a picture of building alone doesn't really explain what your skills are.
That said, I'm sure HR types like pretty pictures so anything that gets you through the first cut and into a real engineers in-tray cant be a bad thing.

I did get good response from that, and some good things to talk about in the interview.

If applying via a website that uploads your resume, my guess is it'll probably strip out any pictures.
Even if just emailing or similar, places often explicitly ask for word resumes so PDFing it may not be an option.

A lot of CV's these days are scanned using various methods for keywords - pictures of any kind add nothing to this process. When I (rarely) see a CV photo it usually looks either really bad or really good, rarely in-between. If it's bad I wonder why they bothered, if it's really good I wonder if they are trying to distract me from their true ability.
I have never seen a project-related photo in a CV.
