3. Do at AABA, architectural designs follow government codes?

Yes. Architects follow building by-laws, NBC guidelines, environmental rules, fire safety norms, and local authority regulations for approvals and safety.

4. What sets AABA different from other architectural firms?

AABA, is a design-build firm which combines architectural creativity with engineering precision and construction to final hand over. Our designs are buildable, compliant, and tailored to real-world project needs in both private and government sectors.

5. Why should hire an architect instead of using a contractor's layout?

Architects not just plan, but create spaces in respect of requirements, preferences, design philosophy, budget, building codes, climates, client's taste everything. A contractor layout may miss structural logic, ventilation, lighting design, workflow optimization, and compliance requirements.

6. What drawings do architects provide for construction?

Architects prepare concept drawings, working drawings, floor plans, elevations, sections, interior layouts, material specifications, and structural drawings.

7. Do AABA handle designs for large institutional, industrial, or commercial buildings?

Yes. Architect Abhicka Bohra n Associates has good experience of designing commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, factories, institutions, and large-scale public places.

8. How long does the architectural design process take?

Depends on type and size of project. Simple buildings take a few weeks, while large or complex projects may take a few months. Timelines depend on size, approvals, and revisions.

9. Do you provide 3D walkthroughs and visualizations?

Yes. AABA provides photorealistic 3D renders and virtual walkthroughs so clients can see the design before construction begins.

10. What is architectural design process like?

Certainly, here's an overview of the architectural design process in bullet points:

  • Initial Consultation
  • Site Analysis and Research
  • Conceptual Design Phase

  • Client Review and Feedback
  • Construction Documentation
  • Permitting and Approvals
  • Bidding and Contractor Selection
  • Construction Administration
  • Project Completion

12. How AABA approaches sustainability and energy efficiency in your designs?

As an architect for sustainability and energy efficiency in building design we prioritize for passive design strategies minimizing mechanical systems. Some of the primarily used features are as:

  • Orientation optimization (maximize winter solar gain, minimize summer overheating)
  • Shading design (overhangs, louvers, vegetation)
  • Natural ventilation pathways (cross-ventilation, stack effect)
  • Daylighting strategies (light shelves, clerestories, atriums)
  • LED lighting with smart controls
  • On-site renewables (solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal)
  • Locally sourced material
  • Recycled content
  • Rapidly renewable materials (bamboo, cork)
  • Rainwater harvesting

13. What is your fee structure?

Lump Sum or according to the project requirement.

14. How long does the architectural design process typically take?

Project Type Typical Total Design Time
New home 12-18 months
Small commercial building 9-12 months
Mid-size commercial/institutional 12-18 months
Large or complex developments 18-36+ months

15. What information is required to start the design process?

You may need the site plan, requirements (rooms, functions, capacities), budget, design preferences, and any regulatory guidelines for the project.

16. How is interior design different from architecture?

Architecture focuses on the building's structure, layout, and external form. Interior design focuses on how the inside space looks, feels, and functions including materials, furniture layouts, lighting, and themes.
