Services
You can hire the studio for design alone, or for design and construction together. Most clients choose the second, because it removes the argument about who is responsible when something on site does not match the drawing.
01From site study to drawings an authority will accept.
We begin on the plot, not on the screen. Orientation, levels, access and the bylaws that govern the site set the constraints, and the design answers them. You see plans, massing and 3D views before anything is committed to a working drawing.
02The inside resolved as carefully as the outside.
Interiors are drawn as architecture, not decoration: joinery detailed, lighting planned to the layout, and materials chosen for how they age in this climate rather than how they photograph on the day of handover.
03Drawings that clear CDA the first time.
Drawings are checked against your authority's bylaws before they are submitted, not after they are returned. We prepare the submission set, file it, and follow it through until the map is sanctioned.
04We build what we drew.
The same studio that designed the building takes it through construction, which removes the argument about who is responsible when something on site does not match the drawing. Stage-wise costing, material approvals, and a written report at every site visit.
05Working with what is already standing.
Existing buildings carry constraints a new plot does not: a structure that has to hold, a family that has to keep living there. We survey first, establish what the frame can take, and phase the work so the house stays usable.
Five stages, in order. You know what happens at each one, what you receive, and roughly how long it takes.
We visit the plot and check orientation, levels, access and the bylaws that govern it. You get a written brief and a feasibility note before any design begins.

Both. You can hire us for design alone, or for design and construction together. Most clients choose the second, because it removes the argument about who is responsible when something on site does not match the drawing.
Design fees run 10 to 15% of construction cost, depending on scope and whether interiors are included. You get the figure in writing after the site study, not a number over the phone before anyone has seen your plot.
Drawings are prepared by a PCATP-registered architect and checked against your authority's bylaws before they are submitted. We handle submission and follow-up. Approval fees belong to the authority and are billed at actual.
Design and approvals usually run three to five months. Construction depends on size and finish level. You get a programme at concept stage and an update at every site visit.
From 5 marla to 1 kanal and above, plus commercial floors and fit-outs. The smaller the plot, the more the planning matters.
Rawalpindi routinely. Further afield depending on scope. Just ask.
