Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions
  1. What services do you offer?

    • We offer a range of architectural services including residential design such as extensions, alterations, outbuildings, and new dwellings. We also handle minor commercial work. Additionally, we are able to do low-resolution Matterport scanning, photography, LiDAR scanning, and aerial photography services.

  2. Why are your rates lower than others?

    • Our rates are lower because we are a young and growing firm. While we are not qualified architects, we possess the same knowledge and skills. We offer competitive prices to build our portfolio and gain valuable experience. We are just as good as architects but way cheaper, typically doing drawings for half the cost compared to others.

  3. What is your process for starting a new project?

    • We begin with an initial consultation to understand your needs and vision. This consultation is very informal and can be done over WhatsApp. This is followed by providing a quote before starting the drawings, which are actively shared with clients to ensure they meet their expectations. Site visits are not required in most cases, and work can be done completely remotely.

Pricing and Estimates
  1. How do you calculate your fees?

    • Our fees are calculated based on the scope and complexity of the project, the estimated time required, and any specific client requirements. We provide detailed quotes after the initial consultation.

    • Yes, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your project and understand your requirements.

  3. Can you provide a rough estimate before a detailed quote?

Project Details
  1. How long does it typically take to complete a project?
