Types of Product and Service Listings: A Guide for Architects & Engineers
At Skina, we aim to make it easier for non-technical clients to understand design and construction services. Since many potential customers may not be familiar with the complexities of architectural and engineering work, offering clear, structured listings helps bridge the gap.
Below, we outline different types of product and service listings to help professionals like you showcase your expertise and attract the right clients.
1. Booking Services
Consultation services – The Starting Point for Every Project
Before diving into design and construction, the first step is always understanding a client’s needs. Whether it’s a design and build service for a house or architectural interior services for a condo fit-out, an initial consultation sets the stage for success.
A well-structured consultation helps:
✅ Establish clear expectations
✅ Minimize risks during design development
✅ Balance industry standards with client preferences

We recommend offering both free and paid consultation services to attract different types of clients. For example, you can start with a free specialized consultation, like this Indoor Space Check-Up, and then provide more in-depth paid consultations for serious inquiries.
2. Simple Product
Digital & Physical Products to Share Your Expertise
Aside from consultations, you can also list standalone products that add value to potential clients.
📌 Digital Files – E-books, PDFs, checklists, and guides that educate clients on design and construction topics.
📌 Physical Products – Tangible outputs such as architectural artwork, models, or novelty items related to design.
For inspiration, check out these AIA Design Products from the American Institute of Architects.
