One of the most important aspects of working as an architect on BDesigner is understanding how your payment is calculated per project.
Whether you're handling a 2D floor plan, 3D elevation, structural drawings, or complete service packages — your earning depends on several transparent factors like service type, project complexity, rating, and punctuality.
This guide explains the full payment logic, deduction rules, and bonus structure so you always know what to expect after every project.
Step-by-Step: Architect Payment Calculation Process
Step 1: Base Service Rate Is Set by BDesigner
Each architectural service offered on the BDesigner platform has a predefined base rate based on:
Service type (e.g., 2D Floor Plan, 3D Elevation, Estimate, Structural, Electrical, Plumbing)
Plot size (e.g., 20x30, 30x40, 40x60, custom sizes)
Building type (Ground floor, G+1 to G+5)
Design complexity (standard, moderate, or premium)
Example:
A 2D Floor Plan for a 30x40 G+1 residential house may have a base service value of ₹1500 – ₹2500.
This base is what the client pays, and from this, the architect's payout is derived.
Step 2: Your Payout Percentage Is Applied
BDesigner applies a fixed payout percentage to determine how much of the project fee is paid to you.
Standard Architect Payout = 60% to 70% of the base price
(Depending on your performance, ratings, and project type)
High-rated architects with good track records may receive higher percentages for bonus projects.
Example:
If the client paid ₹2000 for a project:
You earn 60% = ₹1200 (before any deductions)
Step 3: Deduction Rules Are Applied (If Applicable)
To maintain quality and discipline, we apply transparent deduction rules in case of:
| Condition | Deduction Type |
|---|
| Low Rating (below 3.5 stars) | ₹100 to ₹300 per project |
| Delay in submission (beyond allowed buffer time) | ₹100 to ₹500 depending on delay length |
| Multiple revisions caused by ignoring initial requirements | ₹100 per avoidable revision |
| Incomplete file submissions | Up to ₹300 deduction or rework without extra pay |
Note: Deductions are clearly mentioned in your payment report and can be avoided with consistent quality work.
Step 4: Final Payment Is Released After Project Closure
Once the project is reviewed by the consultant and all files are approved:
Step 5: Payment Schedule
BDesigner follows a weekly or bi-weekly payout cycle (based on your region and bank settings).
You can view your payment cycle and pending balance in the Architect Panel
Payments are transferred directly to your registered bank account
You’ll get a payout report with tax/TDS details
