Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in your real estate architectural design service package?
At SheltersEngineering, we manage the entire transformation of your land into a functional and approved structure. Our package includes land measurement, concept design, architectural designs, engineering coordination, authority submission support, and execution support.
What is the difference between an architect and a builder in real estate projects?
In simple terms, the architect designs the building, and the contractor builds the building. The architect is the one who works on paper and digital models of your property, while the contractor works on physical construction sites to ensure professional execution.
What are the key stages of architectural design in Pakistan?
The architectural design in Pakistan starts from land analysis, then moves towards initial sketches and layout ideas. A professional architect converts approved plans into workable drawings and builds a detailed blueprint for contractor use.
What are the real estate architecture design costs in Pakistan?
The real estate architecture design cost covers 5% to 12% of the total construction cost. For example, if the project cost is PKR 100 million, then the architect's fee would be PKR 5,000,000 to 12,000,000.
Does your architect handle authority and approvals?
Yes, our architects not only handle but also prepare, sign and submit building plans and modify drawings according to the feedback of authorities.
Do you provide a pre-drawn floor plan?
Yes, we can provide a pre-dawn floor plan, but it is not recommended for real estate projects because it does not consider your plot orientation and ignores the sun direction.
What is the project timeline for real estate architectural design?
A small real estate design project in Pakistan can take 4 to 8 weeks, while a large development can take three months due to complex engineering coordination.
