Bridging Communication Gaps In Interior Design: A Tech-Driven Execution Management System

The interior design industry in India often faces significant challenges during the execution phase of various interior projects, primarily due to fragmented communication and a lack of streamlined coordination among key stakeholders such as designers, clients, and contractors. These challenges frequently lead to project delays, cost overruns, and reduced client satisfaction. This research aims to develop a mobile application that addresses the execution challenges faced in interior design projects by enhancing communication, transparency in shared data and collaboration among all key stakeholders. Primary discussions with various interior designers revealed that project delays and cost overruns are primarily caused by insufficient client involvement, poor communication, and a lack of coordination and clarity among various stakeholders. The proposed mobile application addresses critical challenges faced during the execution phase of interior design projects It offers a centralized communication platform, a system for design validation through document sharing and approvals, task tracking tools, and a shared calendar to manage site visits, client meetings, material selection, and key project milestones. These features aim to enhance collaboration, transparency, and operational efficiency, potentially transforming project execution practices in the Indian interior design industry.
