Why IECA?
IECA is the only Organization in India to bring in Architects, Engineers, Visualizers and Turnkey Project Contractors on a single platform to give the clients a best Interior of Exterior product.
What are the aims of IECA ?
[] IECA is aiming to bring in the Interior Designers and the Contractors under a single roof to provide their clients a quality product. There is an unhealthy competition within us. This leads to exploitation by our clients. We are working on to end this menace by making awareness to ourselves.
[] Though the presence of modern technology and mechanization are increasing day by day, the Contracting firms or the people who are working in the Interior & Exterior furnishing field are not growing as expected. So the survival itself is a question mark. Many firms have stopped their operations.
[] Getting updated is the “mantra” to go upwards. Individual efforts may not help us to achieve this goal. But if we move along with organization like “IECA”, success would also move along with us. Once we start moving together, we would be able to eradicate most of the difficulties we are facing in the field and grow together.
[] IECA is offering all legal support to all our members. We are committed to help all the members who are struggling to survive with financial support or other aids too.
