Ya, so I am also an Architect, practiced in India and Middle east. I know that their is lots of complexity, human fallibility, many problems during process that's why our software comes in place to minimize these efforts,human errors involved in workflows, so that one can concentrate on solving and designing the project.

So, right now we are using the software in-house thus producing projects and getting feedbacks from various customers and accordingly developing the tool, the main vision is to make it SaaS, then relationships would not be a big issue.

In the US, architects delegate. Industry standard contracts (AIA series) reflect that. MEP's ordinarily meet with Owners, Contractors, and Building Officials during design and construction of moderately sized and larger projects. That is unlikely to change very much very quickly. Contractual norms inform the insurance market. Contractual norms facilitate logistics. They inform project financing.

Low cost is appealing, but in the long run only if the service slots into the way people do business. MEP drawings are important as instruments of service not as physical objects. That's a much more complicated role than what PlanGrid tackled. It's product did not have to bear scrutiny from Owners, Building Officials or the Design Team. It only had to make the construction manager's job easier.

Thanks for the knowledge.

I think you didn't get it. So,the design is as per that MEP consultant or designer only who is working on the project, but using this tool it will ease out his work by making the delivery more faster, efficient and detailed, thus cutting down his effort, time and he will be able to focus more on designing and providing quality to his customers.

If it works for you, we would be glad to connect with you and discuss and try to answer more of your questions and doubts. Thanks!

I'm not clear on the customer persona. Who do you envision as customers in the US market? If you are that far along.

Right now, we are providing MEP service to architects and are back office for MEP consultants. When we move on to SaaS, which is our main vision, all the companies doing MEP designing would be able to use our tool.
