Whether your company is a start-up design firm or pioneers in the Architectural Design industry CoArch gladly welcomes you. Our website may be used as your design storage extension and an extra arm to widen your Company’s marketing coverage. Simultaneously your Designs-Concepts or As-Built files, are theoretically doing marketing work rather than just being stored somewhere in your company portfolio. The website’s main goal is to level the ground of Designers around the globe. In parallel, we believe that someone, somewhere out there appreciates that design. . .YOUR Company’s design!!! So, come one, come all and give that design the opportunity that it deserves. . .get it noticed through CoArch and expect a revenue in return.
Here’s how to start. . .
1. Register to www.coarch.ae sign-up as a Designer
2. Register with your basic info, accept the T&C’s and click “Confirm”
3. A security email will be sent to your registered email address and you’ll be asked to reset your password. . .don’t get puzzled, you can use the same password when you registered while resetting your password this is only for security reasons.
4. Login using your email & password
5. Upload a new Design. . .this is mandatory to conclude your registration. A Design package needs the following: a & b are minimum requirement
a. Perspective (Recommended, High Resolution .jpeg file)
b. Floor Plans & Elevations (could be .pdf or .dwg files) these files must be in .zip folder and uploaded altogether
c. Structural Drawings & Details (Optional but recommended to provide value for money to customers) - (could be .pdf or .dwg files) these files must be in .zip folder and uploaded altogether
d. MEP Drawings & Details (Optional but recommended, available usually if it is already an implemented design) - (could be .pdf or .dwg files) these files must be in .zip folder and uploaded altogether
e. Bill Of Quantities (BOQ) / Specifications / Both - (Optional but recommended to provide value for money to customers) - (could be .pdf or .xls files) these files must be in .zip folder and uploaded altogether
Note: Each item constitutes a percentage which is automatically assessed in the system and will be reflected on the information level bar - below the thumbnail of each package; also note to conceal any form of Designer’s identification and contact details on the perspective and to the images uploaded in the images tab viewable by the customers prior to purchase, in compliance to “Architect’s code of ethics” against advertising ban, even if this rule is lifted by other countries – nothing to worry because all your contact information will be shared to the paying customer once a purchase has been concluded.
6. Fill in all the relevant available information for each package, indicate the desired price that aligns to your Company’s fair objectives (Not too expensive and not too cheap – just be fair) this will give customers the confidence to your Company and likely to recommend your product if they get the value for their money.
7. Then click save and your registration is complete.
Your uploaded design will be reviewed by CoArch admin and will be assessed for approval, if everything is in order and appropriate this should not take more than 24 hours, depending on the traffic.
Once you’re a registered Designer you will be given access to your Designer’s Dashboard where you can see the statistics graph of CoArch, which will give you relevant info of what are the most frequently viewed packages and how much level of available product against that package. Which will then eventually be your guide as to what design needs to be uploaded next.
Given this information, still it doesn’t prevent you from uploading as many Design Packages as you wish, remember the more visibility the higher the chance of getting noticed globally. . .hence you are in CoArch.
Please note that if someone purchased your Company’s Design Package and will eventually communicate to you for a Design change or Design modification, we at CoArch highly appreciates your authentic response to accommodate with the highest level of professionalism as possible. Remember each communication from CoArch’s end-users are already your Company’s client.
Have Fun. . .
Sincerely,
CoArch Team
