Cost of Construction Matter #017

Image
As architects, we want to ask if anyone feels that to control the construction cost of the building, you may increase or decrease the number of standard building materials like steel bars, cement concrete, bricks, sand mortar, cement, etc. as per their wish or as per the advice of masons or contractors, either you are over-intelligent or your advisor is over-intelligent. I'd like to ask you to please keep this in a written document for the future and your family as it is not only an issue of safety for you and your family but also a matter of wasting your hard-earned money. Please remember that any written document can be proof of your trust and security, word of mouth is not necessary when it comes to building construction. It is not a big deal to turn away from the responsibility of oral words, but it is not possible to turn away from written documents. Only written documents can ensure the responsibility of the consultant. Often everyone, knowingly or unknowingly, makes an oral ...

Why Design Consultant Architect? #016

  The architect renders his services by making the building’s design and drawings and, based on that, helping you with the on-site execution. But when architects start their services with Architectural, Interior, Structural, MEP, Lifestyle Design and drawings with coordination, project estimation and Costing, Product and material management with Research Work, etc., then the architect is called an architect design consultant. The Design Consultant must deeply understand all the services and experience in Design Co-ordination. Coordination with the on-site construction team is also part of the design consultant’s service. It all depends on following the instructions given by the Design Consultant. When an architect starts providing his services with an architectural design consultancy, then his responsibility becomes even more. Then he is also a Business Consultant with a Design Consultant, which is a huge responsibility. This directly benefits the Patron (client). When a patron ...

Types of Potential Patrons (Clients) #015

We learn a lot from the experience of the different types of clients. we reach and their dealings. Every client has different curiosities, different needs, and different preferences. Often the clients' budgets and requirements do not match, forcing them to compromise on their dreams in the name of modernity. Practicing professional architects understand your feelings very well. They know your hesitation very well, so architects collect your project budget and project details before the project starts. Complete project information with approx. budget ensures that your dream project will be completed simultaneously or in phases. The decision of which depends on the budget of the client.

Commitment, discipline, and rules are very important in our life, from project information to designing and from design to pro...

Decreasing the value of Architect? #014

Image
Why the value of architects is decreasing in today’s lifestyle Yes; Maybe… With the population in our country increasing, the demand for our profession is also increasing. New architecture colleges are being built, and thousands of new graduates, postgraduate, and doctoral architects are entering the market to pursue their professional practice every year. Due to this, the competition among professionals is also increasing continuously. Because of this, the standard of architects is also falling somewhere. Today architects are forced to forget all their standards to take the project, so the quality of the designs and drawings are not up to the standards. In the 90s, the Patron (Client) followed the architect; today, the architects follow the Patron (Client). Even in the early 90s, builders were the Patrons (Clients) of architects but they followed the architects and the buildings built by them still stand proudly. Now the same builders have been established in the real estate industry ...

Are Architects Important? #013

Image
  Yes; Architects are significant. Many people used to come to us so that you could design this project for us. Our architects are not available yet, and we do not have time to wait for them. Don’t worry about the fees. If we like your work, then you will stay connected with us. We have no shortage of work. Many people used to give us great incentives to design their projects and cut off contact with us after we completed the project design. These people used to disappear with basic designs and did not even pay fees. We had to go through this kind of experience many times. Most of these people were either very close or came from the recommendation of some very close relative or friends, which we could not refuse. It was also our immaturity to the business that we used to say “YES” considering that a project design was included in our portfolio. Many people used to say that the fees would be paid after the work was completed and that the designs and drawings did not live up to their...
