Homepage Live Infographic Enhancement for Quotograph

Quotograph is seeking to enhance its website by reconstructing and improving the homepage with dynamic, interactive elements that better engage visitors. Based on customer feedback, the current homepage lacks engaging visual features that effectively communicate key data and insights. The primary objective of this project is to design and implement a live infographic that visually captures the essence of Quotograph's offerings and provides users with an immersive experience. The infographic could depict a construction site where users can hover over different sections to reveal how Quotograph helps automate that area, offering a more interactive method to understand Quotograph's value proposition. Additionally, the project will include an auto-scrolling "Partners" section to highlight key collaborations and further enhance the overall user experience. The entire webpage should flow seamlessly and maintain a well-organized layout to create a cohesive, visually appealing experience. This project will provide learners with the opportunity to apply their skills in web design, data visualization, and user experience design. By the end of the project, the homepage should deliver a more engaging and informative experience, ultimately increasing visitor interaction and supporting Quotograph's brand messaging.

Permit Compliance Prototype Development

Overview Quotograph is seeking to develop a prototype for its new product, PermitX — a solution designed to automate the building permit review process by analyzing blueprints and identifying whether they meet local building codes. This project will focus on creating a working prototype that allows users to upload blueprints, which will then be analyzed against code requirements from a selected jurisdiction. Objective The primary goal of this project is to create an initial version of PermitX that demonstrates the feasibility of automated code compliance checks. The prototype will serve as a proof of concept, helping Quotograph validate the technology before expanding to multiple jurisdictions. Scope of Work Develop a user-friendly web-based interface where users can upload blueprint files (PDF, JPEG, or CAD formats). Implement basic blueprint parsing capabilities to extract relevant architectural elements (e.g., room dimensions, wall structures, electrical layouts). Create a rules engine that checks extracted elements against a set of predefined building codes from one jurisdiction (e.g., Ontario Building Code or a U.S. municipality). Generate a compliance report that highlights potential code violations and provides brief recommendations. Provide backend infrastructure that allows seamless data storage and retrieval of uploaded blueprints and compliance reports. Ensure the prototype works across desktop and mobile web browsers . Deliverables A fully functional prototype with the following features: File upload interface Automated code compliance analysis Downloadable compliance report Simple dashboard for users to track uploads and results Documentation on the system architecture, tools used, and any API integrations. Recommendations for future development and scaling PermitX to support additional jurisdictions and code types. Technology Stack Frontend: React or Wix Velo (depending on feasibility) Backend: Node.js + Express Database: MongoDB or Firebase Code Parsing: OpenCV or Tesseract for OCR Code Validation: Custom rules engine built in Python Outcomes By the end of this project, the PermitX prototype will demonstrate how Quotograph can automate blueprint reviews for code compliance, paving the way for a fully commercialized product that accelerates the permit approval process and reduces manual review times.
