Frequently Asked Inquiries

Answers to design process coordinates, fee structures, and project logistics.

What is your typical project design timeline?

A bespoke residential design typically takes between 4 to 8 months from initial conceptual studies to securing building permits from local corporations or panchayats. Larger commercial projects or wellness resorts can span 9 to 14 months depending on site dimensions and municipal clearances.

Do you design projects across all of Kerala?

Yes. While our primary design studio is located in Trivandrum, we undertake residential, commercial, and hospitality designs across all districts of Kerala (including Kochi, Calicut, Kottayam, and Wayanad) as well as selective national commissions.

How do you design for Kerala's tropical monsoon climate?

Kerala's humid climate requires specific architectural responses. We integrate deep roof overhangs (chajjas) to protect walls from heavy monsoons, double-height volumes to encourage hot air escape, jaali screens for continuous natural cross-ventilation, and specify local materials like laterite stone, terracotta tiles, and weather-resistant timber.

What is your fee structure for custom architecture?

Our fees are structured based on the project scope, typically calculated as a percentage of the total construction budget (ranging from 8% to 12% for comprehensive layout, structural coordination, and site supervision). For early-stage feasibility or layout advice, we offer fixed consulting fees.

Do you supervise the construction phase?

Yes. We conduct regular site inspections to ensure structural casting, brickwork, and custom carpentry align with our drawings. We assist you in selecting reliable local contractors and material suppliers in Kerala to maintain high quality.
