02.TheProblem

IndustryProblemsThe industry is highly disorganised with thousands of small to mid size firms acting indepently.

-Finding an affordable architect and interior designer is hard-There isnt a universal platform which gives an exhaustive idea of the prices and options available.-Most of them pick a designer based on recommendation from friends and family.

ProjectOwnerProblems

-Most Projects are not visible enough for them to approach-Designers rely on personal connections and network to attain projects

03.TheSolution

DesignBids is a aggregator of architects and designers. It would centralize the disorganised architecture ecosystem by bringing all small players under one roof, and provide project owners a one stop destination to find designers

Aggregation

Essentially project owners would post his design requirements and receive bids/proposals from local architects/designers. The project-owner would then pick one based on his Price, Portfolio, Experience and Reviews.

ProjectDiscoveryandBidding

Ideaboard is where one shops for idea, and share it with the designer. These include Design Ideas, Ready made Plans, Home decor Products, Designer Portfolios. Contents are crowdsourced.
