Process
Eight stages, from first conversation to keys in hand.
Building a house is one of the largest commitments most people make, and the hardest part is not knowing what comes next. This is the whole sequence, written down.
01
First conversation
1 meeting, no cost
We sit down — at our studio or on your site — and talk about what you want to build, your plot, your budget and your timeline. You leave knowing whether we are the right studio for the project, and roughly what it will cost.
You receive
- An honest view on feasibility
- An indicative cost range
- A clear next step
02
Site study & brief
We survey the site, check the soil, orientation, access and setbacks, and study what the local regulations allow. In parallel we develop the brief in detail — how many rooms, how you use them, how you want the place to feel.
You receive
- Site survey and measured drawings
- Regulatory feasibility
- An agreed written brief
03
Concept design
The first design proposal — plans, elevations and 3D views. We expect to revise it. This is the cheapest stage at which to change your mind, so we would rather you say what is wrong now than after the footing is poured.
You receive
- Concept plans and elevations
- 3D views of key spaces
- Revisions until you are satisfied
04
Estimate & agreement
Our estimation team costs the design line by line — not a rate per square foot, but the actual quantities and specifications. You see exactly what is included and what is not, then we sign an agreement with a fixed scope and a stage payment schedule.
You receive
- Line-by-line estimate
- Written specification
- Contract and payment schedule
05
Working drawings & approvals
The drawings that get built from — structural, electrical, plumbing, joinery — all coordinated in-house so clashes are resolved on paper rather than on site. We file for and follow up on your panchayat or municipal permit.
You receive
- Full working drawing set
- Approved permit drawings
- Construction schedule
06
Construction
A dedicated project manager owns your build, with a full-time supervisor on site. Purchasing is done by our team to the approved specification. You get regular progress updates and can walk the site whenever you want.
You receive
- Named project manager
- Full-time site supervision
- Regular progress reporting
07
Interiors & finishes
Joinery, lighting, flooring and finishes, detailed by our interior team and installed by people we employ. If interiors were part of your scope from the start, this has been designed alongside the building rather than bolted on at the end.
You receive
- Joinery and finish installation
- Final material sign-off
- Snag list and rectification
08
Handover
We walk the finished building with you, close out every snag, and hand over the keys along with the drawings and documentation. We stay reachable afterwards — most of our work comes from clients who send us their friends.
You receive
- Completed snag closure
- As-built drawings and documents
- Post-handover support

Tell us what you want to build.
Send us the plot, the brief and roughly what you have in mind. We will come back with an honest view on feasibility and cost — and if we are not the right studio for it, we will tell you that too.
