Frequently Asked Questions

Independent Project Workflow

What is the Independent Project Workflow in Qbiq?

The Independent Project Workflow in Qbiq empowers users to create precise and visually engaging designs for single or multi-floor plans without linking them to a building property. This workflow is ideal for users seeking simplicity, speed, and accuracy in standalone floor plan design. Note: It is not optimized for managing multiple properties or recurring projects; landlords with multi-property portfolios may prefer Qbiq's Property Marketing Workflow. Source

What are the benefits of using the Independent Project Workflow?

Benefits include a user-friendly interface, quick turnaround (three 2D floor plan alternatives and an immersive 3D video tour delivered within 24 hours), and customization options for spatial needs, functional objectives, and aesthetic preferences. Note: This workflow lacks tools for recurring projects or saving layouts for future use. Source

How do I use the Independent Project Workflow?

To use the Independent Project Workflow: 1) Access the Projects workspace and select the Projects icon. 2) Tap "New Project" and choose "Independent Project." 3) Specify the number of floors, measurements, and upload CAD files. 4) Name your project and identify specific parts of each floor for design. 5) Choose a design program: Concept (quick planning), Detailed (in-depth design), or Rendering Suite (3D video tour only). Note: This workflow is best for one-time, single-property solutions. Source

What types of design programs are available in the Independent Project Workflow?

Three design programs are available: Concept (for quick and streamlined floor planning), Detailed (for in-depth floor plan designs), and Rendering Suite (for creating a 3D video tour exclusively). Note: Rendering Suite is limited to 3D video tours and does not include 2D plans. Source

Is the Independent Project Workflow suitable for landlords managing multiple properties?

No, the Independent Project Workflow is not optimized for landlords managing multiple properties. It lacks tools for recurring projects, saving layouts for future use, and standardized layouts across properties. Landlords benefit more from Qbiq's Property Marketing Workflow, which offers scalability, consistency, and tools for long-term property management. Source

qbiq Subscription Workflow: Independent Projects

Independent project planning empowers you to design floor plans without the necessity of connecting it to a building property, but rather create a straightforward 2d floor plan design.

The Independent Project Workflow on qbiq.ai empowers users to create precise and visually engaging designs for single—or multi-floor plans. By focusing on individual project needs, it is perfect for those seeking simplicity, speed, and accuracy.

Benefits for Users

The Independent Workflow offers several advantages for its users:

  1. Ease of Use: With a user-friendly interface, the Independent Workflow makes it simple for anyone to submit their spatial requirements and receive professional-grade layouts.

  2. Quick Turnaround: Users can receive three 2D floor plan alternatives and an immersive 3D video tour within 24 hours, enabling faster decision-making and project execution.

  3. Customization: The workflow allows users to specify their spatial needs, functional objectives, and aesthetic preferences, ensuring that the final designs align perfectly with their vision.

How to Use the Independent Project Workflow:

Each project in this workflow is a stand-alone floor plan design. Follow these steps to create your design:

  1. Access the Projects Workspace: Navigate to the qbiqPlan workspace and select the Projects icon.

  2. To create a New Project, Tap the “New Project” icon and select the “Independent Project” option. Then, specify the number of floors, include measurement details, and upload relevant CAD files.

  3. Define Your Project: Name your project and identify specific parts of each floor for design. This feature provides flexibility when tenants require layouts for only a portion of the floor.

  4. Choose a Design Program:

    • Concept: For a quick and streamlined floor planning process.

    • Detailed: For in-depth floor plan designs.

    • Rendering Suite: For creating a 3D video tour exclusively.

Why It’s Ideal for Architects

Architects often work on diverse projects requiring unique design solutions tailored to specific client needs. The Independent Workflow provides a fast, reliable, and customizable tool to:

  • Streamline Design Processes: Save time by automating layout planning, allowing more focus on creative and strategic aspects.

  • Deliver Client-Centric Designs: Quickly produce multiple alternatives, offering clients various options to choose from.

  • Enhance Presentation Quality: Use 3D video tours to effectively communicate design concepts to clients.

What About Multi-Property Landlords?

The Independent Workflow excels in one-time, single-property solutions but may not be ideal for landlords managing multiple properties. Here’s why:

  • Limited Multi-Project Management: This workflow lacks tools for recurring projects or saving layouts for future use.

  • Scaling Challenges: Managing several floors or buildings is more efficient with qbiq.ai’s landlord-specific workflow.

  • Long-Term Optimization: Landlords benefit from features like standardized layouts across properties, which are unavailable in the Independent Workflow.

Choosing the Right Workflow

The Property Marketing Planning Workflow is the better choice for landlords overseeing multiple properties. It offers scalability, consistency, and tools designed for long-term property management and marketing success.
