Nº 01 — Residential architecture

The house is
finished here,
on paper.

Every wall, beam and conduit is resolved in the drawing set before a single brick is laid — architectural, structural and services, one coordinated studio.

Nº 02 — Service index

Every drawing the site
will ever ask for.

Each service is issued as a numbered sheet in your project set — coordinated, so nothing is designed twice or clashes on site.

A-201 01 Concept & 3D design See it before you build it Site study, massing options and photoreal 3D views of the exterior and key rooms — agreed with you before a single working drawing starts. Concept plans 3D exterior views Material board → A-202 02 Working / GFC drawings The set the site builds from Dimensioned plans, sections, elevations and detail sheets — good-for-construction, so the contractor never has to guess.

Nº 04 — Inside the set

What your fee buys — 2D, 3D and GFC, sheet by sheet.

Not a folder of pretty pictures — a numbered drawing set the site can build from and the bank can lend against.

DEL-01 2D floor plans Dimensioned plans of every floor — setbacks, room sizes, wall thicknesses, door-window positions.
DEL-02 3D views & elevations Photoreal exterior views and all four elevations — you approve exactly what the street will see.
DEL-03 GFC working set Good-for-construction sheets — sections, staircase and toilet details, door-window schedules.
DEL-04 Structural drawings RCC design — footing, column and beam detailing with bar-bending schedules, matched to the soil report.
DEL-05 MEP layouts Electrical points, plumbing lines and drainage routed floor by floor — before the conduits are buried.
DEL-06 Approval set & BOQ CMDA / DTCP sanction drawings filed to approval, plus a bill of quantities your contractors must price against.
Nº 05 — Capabilities

Eighteen drawing disciplines, one studio.

From floor plans and 3D rendering to BIM, VR walkthroughs and MEP coordination — every drawing your project needs, produced in-house.

Nº 06 — Why an architect

The cheapest place to fix a mistake is the drawing.

The same house, two ways — decided on site as it comes, or resolved on paper before it starts.

Without an architect
With a Buildiyo architect
Rooms decided as walls rise The mason interprets a sketch; staircases land wrong, corridors eat carpet area.
PLAN
Every room resolved before excavation Plans, sections and 3D views approved by you — the site only executes.
Quantities guessed, 15–20% overruns No drawings means no BOQ — budgets drift with every site decision.
COST
Priced from the drawing set A measurable BOQ before you commit, so quotes are comparable and capped.
Deviation from sanction, penalty risk Unapproved changes surface at completion — fines, regularisation, resale trouble.
LEGAL
Built exactly as approved Sanction set and GFC set match; the completion certificate follows cleanly.
Clashes discovered in concrete A beam through a window is a demolition job once cast.
BUILD
Clashes caught on paper Structure and services coordinated in the set — rework stays on the drawing board.
Design fees are typically 2–4% of project cost — rework is 10–20%
Nº 07 — The programme

Your project, drawn as a timeline.

A typical 2,400 sq ft residence — from first site visit to a construction-ready set in about 14 weeks.

One office holds the whole pencil.

Architects, structural engineers and approval liaisons sit at the same table — so the plan, the beam and the sanction never contradict each other. You get one accountable signature on every sheet.

Nº 11 — From the site log

Signed off by the people living in it.

The house that got built is the house we saw in the 3D views two years ago — down to the light in the stairwell. Nothing on site was a surprise.
Ramesh & Divya Krishnan Lakeview Courtyard House · Sholinganallur LOG P-01
We got three contractor quotes on the same BOQ and could actually compare them line by line. The drawings paid for themselves before the foundation.
S. Prakash Stacked Terrace Residence · Coimbatore LOG P-02
A 24-foot plot and they still found light for every room. The approval came through without a single resubmission.
