The typology of architects who underquote is a concerning trend in the industry. Some compromise project quality for contractor kickbacks, while others lack original design ideas, resulting in unimaginative buildings lacking creativity and innovation. It's puzzling how architects quoting below blue-collar rates manage to uphold quality standards. At our firm, we prioritize fee integrity, starting at INR 50 for larger projects and up to INR 500 PSFT for homes. With our calendar booked until July, we are accepting new projects in mid-August for select premium ventures, with an average project size of 1 lakh SFT. Personal client vetting ensures a shared vision and harmonious project journey. Collaboration with mutual admiration is key to navigating challenges gracefully. Respecting all roles, from architects to tile layers and cleaners, is paramount to our ethos and project success. Everyone involved plays a crucial part in bringing projects to life. Substandard pricing leads to substandard practices and projects. Quality comes with integrity at all levels including pricing and ethics. Do you agree? #architects #construction
