Your studio's rates for floors and walls
Settings › Rates & estimates starts with sensible Indian rates and lets you set your own: floor and dado laying, skirting, diamond polishing, border and inlay cutting; reeta sand by the cu ft or by the trolley, cement by the bag, adhesive and grout with their coverage; marble on a 1.5 in sand-cement bed or on adhesive; wastage for each kind of material; and GST on the estimate if you want it.

A free shop account for vendors
Shops sign in to their own small Vendor portal on a computer: My stock, My shop and My limits. They add items with photos straight from a phone camera: a 10 MB photo is made about half a MB on our side and stays sharp. Architects near them find their stock and call or WhatsApp them.

Favourites and your own prices
Keep a shortlist of favourite materials for your studio. On any item, note the price you negotiated and your own laying and dado rates: only your studio sees them, and your price shows in place of the shop's.
-
Add the shops you buy from
Add a vendor with the shop's name, the owner, a mobile number and a pin on the map, then its stock. If the shop is already on Architect World, we say so and open it instead, so there are never two of the same shop. Invite the shop with a one-time link on WhatsApp and it keeps its own stock and prices up to date.

Materials: marble, tiles and stone from shops near your sites
A new Materials page shows marble, granite, quartz, tiles, wooden flooring, stone cladding and terrazzo from local shops, with large photos, prices per sq ft and labour rates. Filter by colour, finish and price, or pick a project to see what is in stock near its site, nearest first. Every item shows how it repeats on a floor, and its shop with call, WhatsApp and a map.
