Get Discovered. Compete. Win Real Design Projects.

Clients post real projects. You apply. Your designs do the talking.
‍Build your visibility, grow your portfolio, and win execution contracts β€” all through a fair, profile-based process.

Step 1: Project Goes Live

πŸ“ Client Submits Design Brief
A spaceowner pays β‚Ή999 and shares a complete design brief. Once submitted, the project goes live for architects to view.
🌐 Open Access to All Active Architects
As an architect, you can view project details, client expectations, and apply directly from your dashboard.
πŸ’Ό Be Ready to Get Noticed
Clients invite or shortlist architects based on their BUILTDESIGN profiles only β€” no external links, no personal pitches allowed.

Step 2: Apply to the Project

βœ‹ Apply with One Click
Simply click β€˜Apply’. No additional uploads or personal intros needed. Your BUILTDESIGN profile represents you.
🚫 No Contact Info or Personal Branding
Do not include personal phone numbers, emails, brand names, or watermarks β€” it's against policy.
🧠 Design trumps identity β€” your ideas, not your age, gender, or brand, should speak for you.
🎯 Boost Your Odds: Update Your Portfolio
Clients judge applicants on project experience, aesthetics, and creativity. Make sure your uploaded projects reflect your best work.

Step 3: Get Shortlisted

🎯 Top 5 Architects Selected
The spaceowner shortlists 5 architects after reviewing all applicants.
πŸ“£ If You're Chosen...
You’ll be notified via dashboard and email. Congrats β€” now it’s time to get designing!

Step 4: Client Pays Design Fee

πŸ’³ Full Fee Paid in Escrow
Only after shortlisting, the client pays the design fee into a secure escrow.
πŸ” Work Begins Only After Payment
This ensures every shortlisted architect is compensated fairly. No speculative or free work.

Step 5: Submit Your Proposal

πŸ“ Your Design Proposal Should Include:
  • Floor plan with furniture layout
  • Elevation design
  • 3D views (or references, mood board, concept sheet for interiors)
  • Short design philosophy
🚫 Strictly No Personal Branding
Your proposal must not contain:
  • Logos or firm names
  • Contact details
  • Personalized marketing
This ensures fair review, based only on your design quality.
πŸ”’ Auto Watermarked & Protected
All submissions are watermarked and protected by BUILTDESIGN. Consumers cannot download high-res files before winner selection.

Step 6: Winner Gets the Project β€” Everyone Gets Paid

πŸ† Top 3 Architects Are Rewarded
The client selects a winner, but all top 3 submissions receive a fair portion of the design fee.
🀝 Winner Gets Contract for Working Drawings
Winning architect is offered the full-service contract to take the project forward β€” separately paid through the platform.
πŸ“ Final Deliverables Unlocked Post-Selection
Only after final selection, the winning files are made available in full.
