Architecture and Planning in Bangalore

Yes, and it is a common arrangement. We review the drawings for buildability, prepare a construction quotation against them and build to the approved set. Where a construction detail needs clarification we raise it with your architect before anything is executed rather than deciding it on site.

The sanction drawings have to be prepared and signed by the registered architect or licensed engineer the authority requires. Concept planning and sanction responsibility are not the same thing — someone can help you shape a layout, but the submission has to carry the signature of the professional who is legally accountable for it. We coordinate that appointment and the work that follows.

It depends on the route. A Nambike Nakshe self-certified application on a qualifying residential plot receives a provisional sanction considerably faster, because the empanelled professional certifies compliance and the authority verifies afterwards. A conventional application with complete documentation typically runs to around 30 to 45 working days. Document corrections are the usual reason a timeline slips.

Depending on the property and the authority, the submission usually needs the registered sale deed, an e-khata, the latest tax receipt, an encumbrance certificate, a survey sketch, conversion documents where the land was once agricultural, the required technical reports, and the drawings prepared by the responsible professional. The exact list is confirmed for your specific property before anything is filed.

Concept design can go ahead. What cannot go ahead is the formal submission, because the documentation has to be resolved first. We identify this at the feasibility stage precisely so you are not paying for a full drawing set that cannot yet be sanctioned.

There is no single answer that holds for every 30 × 40 plot. It follows from the road width, the floor area ratio, the height rules, the parking you must provide, the setbacks, where the plot sits and which authority applies to it. The feasibility stage establishes it for your specific property before any design work begins.

They are quoted separately and deliberately. The design stage is priced as its own scope with its own deliverables; the construction quotation is then prepared from the finished drawings and specification. Bundling the two makes it impossible to tell what either is costing you, and it makes the drawings harder to take elsewhere if you decide to.

Individual design-stage items — a 3D elevation, structural drawings, sanction support — can be arranged on their own where that is what a project needs, each scoped and priced separately rather than bundled. Tell us which part you want and we will confirm what it involves before anything is committed.

It follows the size and complexity of the building and how much of the service you want. The industry prices this three ways — as a percentage of construction cost, per square foot, or as a lump sum per drawing set — and the ranges are set out above with their basis. Whatever the method, your quotation names each item separately rather than presenting one unexplained design fee.

Where you want it considered, yes. It is coordinated with the site's orientation, the setbacks, the circulation, the daylight and the practical requirements of the building — rather than applied afterwards to a layout that cannot accommodate it.
