QTECT Launches Architectural/Interior Design Crowdsource Exchange

WASHINGTON - May 26, 2013 - PRLog -- QTECT, a web-based architectural and interior design crowdsourcing platform and market exchange, launched today. A  host of designers from across the nation are already standing by to produce custom interior and architectural designs for residential and commercial projects at a fraction of the standard price. The site features over 600 vendors supplying a wide range of home improvement needs like construction supplies and services. Customers simply visit www.QTECT.com, create an account, and enter their project and payment details to get started. With 72% of homeowners planning to redecorate or remodel within the next 2 years, there is a growing demand for easy access to affordable, custom design, and personalized attention from professional architects and interior designers.

Hiring a single designer runs buyers about 10-20% of construction costs- which leads many to skip professional consultation, relying on contractors who frequently gloss over critical details and dismiss building codes and regulations. Meanwhile, about 20% of designers are independent and seeking opportunities for project opportunities like renovations, rehabilitations, and additions, but are struggling to reach the market. QTECT bridges the gap by leveraging the power of crowdsourcing to lower the costs, risks, and hassles associated with finding and working with designer. Homeowners and commercial developers simply create an account, define their project using an automated platform, and launch a design contest. 9 to 15 of QTECT’s pre-qualified designers then create custom 3D project    presentations. After watching the projects develop and giving feedback throughout the process, buyers compare and choose the top 3 designs to for use on their project. Most distinctively, if the customer doesn’t like any of the options, they get a full refund.

QTECT founder and veteran architect Dr. Nir Buras is confident that making design,  accessible and affordable will enrich the lives of homeowners and enhance entire communities.

“After 30 years in this industry, I know the power of design. Where you live, affects how you live; and by providing a community of experts dedicated to improving homes and communities, QTECT will be a transformative force in the world”.

Now available for residential and commercial projects like bathroom and kitchen remodel, addition, office space, and custom home design, QTECT continues to expand its designer and vendor base.
