Frequently Asked Questions About Online Architecture Projects
Get answers about how we develop 100% online architecture and interior design projects: timelines, deliverables, steps, and how our fast, practical method works.
Process and Timelines
Our standard process is designed to be agile and efficient, delivering your online architecture project in 15, 21, or 28 days.
It’s divided into two main stages:
- Creative Stage: You receive the Moodboard, References, 3D Images, and the Layout Floor Plan with measurements.
- Technical Stage: You receive the revised, detailed project, along with the Civil Construction Plan and your Construction Execution Guide.
Our method was designed to be practical and 100% online, ensuring quality and peace of mind. The steps are:
- Alignment meeting: We start with a detailed conversation to understand your expectations and the requirements of your interior design or architecture project.
- Archa filter for architects and designers: In the Duo and Trio plans, we select the architecture and design professionals best suited to your project profile and present them for your approval.
- Preliminary Design Presentation: In an online meeting, the professionals present their aesthetic and functional proposals for the space.
- Revision 1: This is an important moment to align expectations, request changes, and guide the professionals toward your ideal project.
- Project Delivery: You receive all the visual materials for your project — Moodboard, References, 3D Images, Civil Construction Plan, Layout Floor Plan with measurements. In the Duo and Trio plans, you also receive a video from each professional explaining the concept and the proposed solutions for your space.
- Revision 2: This is the moment to make the project exactly as you’ve always dreamed. Request any changes you’d like.
Our entire process is 100% online, offering maximum convenience.
Meetings are held via video call (Google Meet), and you can follow every stage through our exclusive platform. There, you can access your schedule, portfolios, projects, and all the materials for your build in one place.

Archa’s model stands apart from a traditional architecture firm in five key ways, designed to offer a more modern, client-centered experience.
First, freedom of choice. Instead of committing to the vision of a single local professional, with Archa you get access to talent from all over Brazil and receive up to three creative proposals from three different firms. Your decision is based on the project you love most, not on a portfolio.
Second, the process is 100% online, practical, and fast. While the traditional method involves in-person meetings and longer timelines, we optimize your time with a centralized platform and set deadlines, ensuring speed and efficiency.
Third, flexible, smart investment. We offer easy payment options and modular services, letting you hire additional detailing only when needed. This avoids the closed packages and higher costs of the conventional model.
Finally, security. Our biggest commitment is to your satisfaction. That’s why we guarantee your investment back if the initial proposals don’t meet your expectations, eliminating the financial risk that exists in the traditional process.

The economic right to use the project is yours: you can carry it out whenever and however you like. The moral copyright, by law, belongs to the professional who created it, who retains the right to showcase the project as part of their portfolio.v
