WHAT WE DO
Architectural Consultation
An online or in-person/on-site consultation service can be arranged with the Architect. Topics may be from any of the Architect’s known fields and proficiencies, which may cover architecture & its practice, fundamental engineering, planning & design, construction, and many more that has been part of his training. Advice and recommendations shall be given accordingly.
Kindly talk to us about your concern first so we can determine if we are the right consultant for you or we shall refer you to a more suitable professional or specialist.
Feasibility Studies
If you are eyeing a new real estate property investment, it is wise to enlist the help of an architect to help you determine whether the project is feasible or not. We can help you check for the maximum usable capacity and classification of a lot to help you make informed choices before you even purchase a lot. Aside from that, we can also be tapped to help you research if a project has potential for growth and utility.
Conceptual Design
The architect can provide the initial two phases of his regular professional service as a separate service to provide the client with the look & feel of his/her project’s potential, and give him/her the option to pursue the complete service down the line. Concepts & schemes form the basis of any architectural project so this service provides the client with a “first look” without committing to the whole process.
This service is available for minor works like built-in cabinetry, single room space, to whole projects like houses, buildings, facades and lot planning.
Architectural Design
The architect provides a concrete architectural solution & vision to a client’s design problem. Architectural design services include the architect’s plans, details, specifications, and perspectives setting forth the construction of the project. (Inclusive of the corresponding professional’s documents needed for building permit application).

High-Performance Architecture
For discerning clients who demand buildings that perform exceptionally well in their context & environment, we provide this research & data-driven, technical service for them. High-performance architecture commands respect of the climate and environment and is as much about the science as it is the art in architecture. Some of the things to integrally consider in a high-performance building are building envelope thermal & acoustic performance, optimal user comfort, low-energy usage, renewable energy programming, embodied energy during all stages of the project’s lifetime, disaster resilience, and operations & maintenance management.
Architectural Interiors
The architect can provide design services tailored to interior spaces that highlight his/her training. This service is perfect for spaces requiring more attention to detail, custom craftsmanship, and in-depth collaboration between the architect and the client to fulfill the client’s needs.
Bespoke Design
Sometimes, a client will only need an architect’s services for a piece of furniture, a cabinet or a small space that will be highly customized, functional and specific to his/her needs. These kinds of works demand the architect’s utmost creative concentration and endeavors, in order to create one-of-a-kind & bespoke designs for the discerning clientele. For this service, highly detailed drawings, plans, specifications & renderings shall be produced.
Renovation Design
Renovation work can be very difficult for homeowners to handle by themselves, especially since there are a lot of potential unknown problems that can arise with older structures. Thankfully, we are trained to foresee such challenges and design solutions to specific problems. Renovation design service has a similar scope to an architect’s regular architectural design service but instead of designing from scratch, the architect must closely evaluate the old structure, then propose designs in consideration of the former structure and the potential hazards it may have. More advance forms of this service are Restoration, Adaptive Reuse & Reconstruction.
House or Building Inspection & Assessment
If you are eyeing a real estate investment, house condo or any other property, it is wise to enlist the help of an architect to help you inspect and assess whether it is a sound investment or just a potentially big headache waiting to happen. This service is not only for new builds, but also for under construction projects.
We will go over the overall build quality of the construction & finishing, check if they are within building industry tolerances, check your building utility systems, look for infestations, defects & issues, and potential problems that might arise during the course of a structure’s lifespan (This process is also known as Punch-listing). Finally, we will give you our written detailed assessment and recommendations.
Another service assessment we offer is checking if the construction work was properly & correctly implemented according to plans & drawings.
Advantages:
– offers valuable information regarding the defects in the building and the probable damages that may come up in future
– the buyer gains professional insight & outlook not readily perceivable by regular people
– the buyer gains a better understanding of the state of his/her would-be investment, thus, a better deal and leg up on negotiation is ensured
– with defects known, it will be easier to address where to start with repairs or fixes
– leaks, pest or mold infestation, which can lead to complications and health & safety hazards to future occupants, can be detected & rectified
Project Supervision
Construction can be quite the hassle and having an extra set of eyes and ears on-site can give you peace of mind. With this service, the architect can provide quality control, evaluate progress, assure construction is going according to plans and prepare site reports for the client until the completion of the project.
