Wallxy for Design & Planning: How Can You Run Your Design Studio Without the Chaos?

If you're an architect, interior designer, or landscape designer — this is your role on Wallxy

On Wallxy, the Design & Planning role covers every one of these designations:

• Architect

• Architectural Designer

• Interior Designer

• Landscape Architect

• Landscape Designer

• Project Planner

• Urban Planner

Whichever of these titles matches your studio, the same responsibility sits with you: setting a project's structure — floors, drawing hierarchy, how the project is organized — before anyone else can contribute to it.

It's the one industry category on the platform that can both Create a project and Organize it. Every other role — contractors, consultants, suppliers, clients — can join and contribute inside a structure that's already been set up, but they can't restructure it. That distinction isn't a technical detail buried in settings. It shapes how the entire platform behaves for you versus everyone else on the project.

This blog walks through what that actually means day-to-day: setting up a project, managing drawings, building your team, and moving tasks from sketch to site.

The Problem

Right now, most studios run project structure across scattered tools — floor plans in one drive folder, revisions tracked by filename suffix, drawing approvals happening over email threads, and new team members added to a WhatsApp group with no clear sense of what they're actually allowed to touch.

The Solution

Wallxy gives Design & Planning professionals one place to define a project's structure once — floors, drawing hierarchy — keep every drawing and revision in a single trail, and invite team members with their role already assigned, so nobody starts in the wrong place.

Why Design & Planning sits at the center of every project

Think about how a real project actually starts. Before a contractor can be assigned a task, before a consultant can review a detail, before a client can leave a comment — someone has to decide what the project even looks like. Which floors exist. How drawings are grouped. What the working hierarchy is.

Wallxy mirrors that reality instead of fighting it. If you're an architect, interior designer, or landscape designer, you're not just another collaborator added to a project — you're the one who defines its shape. Tab visibility, structural access, and project setup on Wallxy are governed by whichever company holds the Design & Planning role on that project, not by who happens to be an admin or moderator elsewhere. The structure follows the design authority, not the org chart.

Set up a project the way your studio actually works

When you create a project in Wallxy, you're not filling in a form and hoping the structure sorts itself out later. You define:

• Floors and zones — matching how the building or interior is actually divided

• Drawing hierarchy — architectural, interior, landscape, or licensing drawings grouped the way your studio already organizes them, not the way a generic tool assumes

• Project category — Architecture, Interior, or Landscape, so the right context follows the project everywhere it's used

This is the part other roles never touch. A contractor joining later sees a project that's already organized — they contribute within it, they don't reshape it.

Keep drawings, revisions, and approvals in one trail

Drawing management is where most studios currently lose time — versions living across email threads, WhatsApp forwards, and shared drives that go stale. On Wallxy, drawings live inside the project itself:

• Upload architectural, interior, or landscape drawings directly against the floor or zone they belong to

• Every task tied to a drawing moves through Wallxy's approval flow — Pending → Submitted → Under Review → Approved (or sent back as Revision Required) — so nothing gets marked done without going through review

• Revisions stay attached to the same project trail instead of scattering across separate conversations

For a studio managing multiple live projects, this alone replaces the "which version is this" conversation that eats up a surprising amount of a project meeting.

Build your team with Invite as Role

This is the newest piece, and it matters most for Design & Planning studios specifically — you're usually the one bringing juniors, draftsmen, site engineers, and contractors onto a project.

Wallxy's invite flow now lets you pre-select the role a person is being invited as — Architect, Interior Designer, Landscape Designer, Project Planner, or any role your studio uses — before you send the invite. You can send it as:

• A direct link

• An email invite

• A WhatsApp share

• A social share card

Whichever way you send it, the person who signs up already has their role attached. They're not dropped into a generic account and left to figure out where they fit — they land in the studio, in the right role, ready to be added to a project.

There's also a referral layer built on top of this: when someone you invite signs up and completes their profile, you earn 25 credits. When they make their first purchase on Wallxy, you earn 50 credits and they get 25 bonus credits. It's a small thing, but if you're the one usually responsible for pulling your studio's network onto a new platform, it means growing your team on Wallxy isn't just admin work — it pays you back in platform credits you can use yourself.

From sketch to site — tasks move with the project, not around it

Once your structure and team are in place, tasks flow through the same approval cycle: Pending → Submitted → Under Review → Approved / Revision Required. Because this sits on top of the structure you set up, a task is always attached to the right drawing, the right floor, and the right person — not floating in a generic to-do list disconnected from the actual project.

Choosing a plan for your studio

Wallxy's plans scale with how many live projects and how much drawing/file storage your studio actually needs:

Pro also comes with a 7-day free trial — you're not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then. A solo designer or a two-person studio testing Wallxy on a live project can start free. A studio running several concurrent projects with a full drawing archive will outgrow Free's 12 GB fast — Go or Pro is where the storage and project caps actually match a working studio's load. Annual billing on either paid tier saves ~17% (2 months free).

Getting started — a short checklist

• Create your first project and set its category (Architecture / Interior / Landscape)

• Structure it — floors, zones, drawing groups — before inviting anyone

• Upload your working drawings against the right floor/zone

• Invite your team with roles pre-assigned, so they land exactly where they should

• Move your first task through the approval flow to see the trail in action
