What's included in our architecture service?
Concept & space planning
Two or three layout options for each floor, with parking, staircase position, natural light and cross-ventilation worked out early.
3D facade design
Photorealistic elevation renders so you can see materials, lighting and the street view before anything is built.
Approval drawings
Submission drawings prepared for building permission from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) or NMRDA, depending on where the plot is.
Working drawings
Detailed plans, sections, door and window schedules, and coordination with structural, plumbing and electrical consultants.
Site supervision
Scheduled site visits at key stages to check that construction follows the drawings, and to resolve on-site questions quickly.
How do we design for Nagpur's climate?
Nagpur summers regularly cross 45°C, so a good home here is planned around heat first and looks second. Every design decision below is about keeping rooms cooler without relying only on air conditioning.
- Keep the west and south walls as solid as possible, and place stairs, toilets and storage on them as a heat buffer.
- Use deep balcony slabs, projecting frames and canopies to shade glass, rather than leaving windows flush with the wall.
- Use perforated jaali screens to filter harsh light while keeping airflow and privacy, as in the Wankhede and Dhoke residences.
- Plan stair cores and double-height spaces to work as stack ventilation, pulling hot air up and out.
- Insulate and finish terraces with light, reflective surfaces, since the roof gains the most heat in a G+2 house.
- Allow for rooftop rainwater harvesting from the start, so the pipes are designed in rather than added later.

Architecture FAQs
Architects in Nagpur usually charge either a percentage of the construction cost or a fixed fee for a defined scope. Our fee depends on the plot size, number of floors and how much site supervision you need. Our current range is [Empty Value]; we confirm it in a written proposal after the first consultation.
Design and drawings for a typical G+2 house take [Empty Value], before construction starts. Building permission time depends on NMC or NMRDA processing, and construction itself usually takes longer than the design stage.
Yes. We prepare the submission drawings needed for building permission from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation or NMRDA, and check setbacks, FSI and parking against UDCPR before submission so the design does not need reworking later.
Yes. Many clients come to us for facade or elevation design only, with 3D renders of the exterior. We can also take on the full architecture once the elevation is finalised.
We offer design-only services and full turnkey delivery. With turnkey, we manage design, procurement and construction as a single point of responsibility.
