The Case for City-Level Discovery
In AECO workflows, speed and trust often come down to who you’re working with and where they are. While global platforms have opened access to a wider pool of designs, assets, and talent, there’s a gap: Local Discovery.
Imagine you’re sourcing a 3D furniture model for an interior project in Bangalore. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could not only download the asset, but also know the Actors is based in the same city, someone who understands local dimensions, material availability, and cultural needs?
That’s the power of city-level discovery. It bridges the gap between digital convenience and real-world collaboration.
Benefits for Clients, Actors, and Manufacturers
- For Clients (Architects, Designers, Builders):
Faster project decisions. Instead of waiting days for a revision from someone across the globe, you can connect with a local actor who understands your context and can deliver in hours.
- For Actors (3D Artists, BIM Modelers, Designers):
Visibility within your city. Local architects and contractors who might not have discovered you globally can now find your work and hire you for add-ons, customization, or long-term partnerships.
- For Manufacturers:
Direct digital presence. A local manufacturer can upload their product models (doors, windows, lighting) and instantly connect with designers in the same region who may specify those products in live projects.
Local discovery means everyone in the AECO ecosystem wins: projects move faster, communication is clearer, and opportunities stay closer to home.
Example Handoff Scenarios That Save Time
- An Interior Designer in Chennai downloads a sofa model from a local manufacturer, then visits the showroom the same week to confirm fabric options.
- A BIM modeler in Pune uploads a window system; a nearby architect downloads it, then calls the modeler for a same-day tweak on sill height.
- A contractor in Delhi looking for façade elements finds a 3D artist in the same city and schedules an on-site meeting before integrating the design.
These aren’t just downloads, they’re real-world connections sparked by digital discovery.
Rollout Approach: City by City Early Access
At Yatzar Asset, we believe in building discovery where it matters most: your city. That’s why we’re rolling out city-level visibility in phases.
- Early access will begin City by City so Actors and Manufacturers can claim their presence.
- Clients will soon be able to filter searches by location, making it easy to find relevant assets from local contributors.
- This ensures quality, speed, and community-building in each region before scaling globally.
Local is not a limit, it’s the foundation for smarter collaboration.
How to Prepare Your Profile to Be Found Locally
If you’re an Actor or Manufacturer, here’s how to get ready:
- Complete Your Profile: Add accurate contact details, company name, and your city/region.
- Tag Assets by Category: Whether it’s doors, chairs, or building plans, categorize clearly.
- Add City Keywords: Mention your city in asset descriptions where relevant (“Made for Chennai apartments,” “Delhi modular kitchen standards”).
- Stay Responsive: Quick replies to local leads can lead to on-ground collaborations.
- Show Your Unique Edge: Highlight your specialties, traditional design knowledge, regional construction practices, or locally sourced materials.
Being Discoverable locally isn’t just about uploads, it’s about positioning yourself for opportunities right where you are.
