solutions that balance form, function, and feasibility.
- Oversee design development, integrating structural, MEP, and civil components in coordination with relevant consultants.
- Supervise and coordinate the architectural design process through all project stages - from
concept to construction documents and site handover.
- Conduct site visits, review construction progress, and ensure that design intent is accurately
executed on-site.
- Provide technical guidance to internal design teams, consultants, and contractors.
- Ensure alignment with project timelines, cost estimates, and compliance with safety and building regulations.
- Liaise with government agencies, urban local bodies, regulatory authorities, and clients to obtain approvals and align with project objectives.
- Present architectural designs to clients, stakeholders, and review committees, incorporating feedback into iterative design changes.
- Engage with external consultants, including landscape architects, interior designers, structural and MEP engineers.
