Gone are the days where homes, offices, and other constructions are built without designers and architects. Now, people have evolved a lot in terms of perfection, sustainability consciousness, and design sense, that they are looking for buildings with good aesthetics, perfect design, optimized cooling and heating, serene ambiance, apt natural light, minimal waste discharge and finally at an affordable cost.
What is the Current Demand for Architects?
All the above-said works can be done by an architect. Architecture is a broad term and it comprises of urban planning, CAD modeling, interior design, landscaping, estimation, planning, and mechanical, electrical, & plumbing. Each of these works are specializations in architecture.
Even many existing home and building owners are looking for architects to revamp in line with the latest models and make it sustainable. So, there is never before seen demand for architects.
Access to architects
Just like any other specialized services, architecture is also facing the problem of having a not so good connection with the users. Skilled and experienced architects are also unable to connect with potential projects that can push their limits in terms of innovation and creativity.
Uber like app for architect sourcing
This problem can be solved with an innovative idea of a mobile app similar to Uber model. Uber taxi solved a problem by efficiently connecting riders with taxis. In the same way, it is possible to have an app-based crowdsourcing platform to connect users with skilled and apt architects.
Individuals or contractors who are looking for an architect with specific needs can use the app to find and hire from a list of different architects. No matter what is the scope of the need, users can use the app to find architectural talents.
Talented architects too will get more no. of projects than before and also the opportunity to work in challenging projects.
