Description of Work: Great opportunity to get professional plans for the re-design for my kitchen. The navigation of the site was easy and would use this service again. Only comment is at the end of the competition a pop-up asked if I wanted the designers to contact me in the future and it would not allow me to click yes or no. Possibly a computer glitch.

Description of Work: Please do not use Arcbazar, the whole system is flawed and here's why. My design request went unselected by designers until almost day of close. 3 designs were submitted, all were almost the same which was very suspicious. I was told I would have to award points to one of them. But they were all horrible, and the landscape included plants that can not even survive in my zone. It's too easy for so-called designers to find jobs that have no submissions and submit some half done work to get free money. I was able to get a refund, but save yourself the heartache of this process.

Description of Work: This was by far the most exciting service I've ever used. I offered prize money for a new design for a kitchen I'm planning to remodel. 26 designers signed up, and 12 submitted designs for my project. I'm truly delighted with results and will definitely use them again for some upcoming projects in my home.

Description of Work: This crowd-sourcing service rocks! We wanted a face-lift for the exterior of our home and were able to get many good ideas from around the world. Along the way we had a couple of questions which were promptly resolved after receiving responses within a matter of hours. We have enjoyed sharing the results of our face-left competition with lots of friends and family, and have told them about this unique, affordable, cool site!

Description of Work: Arcbazar provided a contest for my home remodel. 5 firms participated with mix results. Some did not provide the ask for electrical plans. Some did not do the elevations. One plan appeared thrown together at last minute. All architecture firms were foreign, and there may have been a misinterpretation of exactly what I meant by "transitional" style. Most of the plans were more along the lines of "modern". One firm in particular was very diligent in their plans and was obvious they had read and considered my wants. The plans did give me the minimum of what a needed, a vision of the potential end result.

Description of Work: Provided designs for new kitchen remodel. Although a lot of designers signed up, we only received 6 submissions for the design, which was a disappointment. Maybe Arcbazar should charge/fine the designers if they sign up for a competition and then don't submit any design at all. I think it sets people up for disappointment when 15-20 designers sign up and then less than half actually submit anything for review.

I am going to give it another try.
Description of Work: I bought the offer, but couldn't seem to figure out how to upload the information, when I tried to contact them no response. It might be me who was at fault but found it frustrating not getting an answer and gave up. The provider contacted me immediately to remedy the situation after I posted my concerns.

Great!
Description of Work: We posted a competition for our basement design and had wonderful results. If you are worried - don't! The people that are competing are pros. We received four designs and then picked the best for the prize money! Our designer was from Greece, so her design was unique for Ohio which was an added bonus!
