The studio

One team, hanging off one drawing.

An interior fit-out is eight trades who mostly never meet, working in sequence on the same rooms. Almost everything that goes wrong on a site goes wrong in the gaps between them — so the way we are organised is not an org chart, it is the product.

Who is on your project

Eight roles. One source of truth.

Every one of these connects to the drawing, not to each other. That is what stops a change agreed on site in week six from quietly never reaching the person who has to build around it.

How we run

Three things we do not bend on.

  • One drawing, not a chain of instructions.

    The carpenter, the electrician and the painter all work from the same set the design was approved on. Most site disasters are somebody working faithfully from an older version of the truth.

  • The person who designed it stays on it.

    Design does not get handed to an execution team and forgotten. The same people answer for it at stage nine as at stage three, which changes what gets drawn at stage three.

  • Nothing gets built that has not been walked.

    Every scheme is stood inside before it is approved. It is the cheapest quality control there is: most mistakes are obvious at full scale and invisible on a page.

Two practices

Pune and Satara are different problems.

Apartments and towers

Pune

High-rise apartments, society rules, and a working week measured in permitted hours for wet work and material lifts. Half of what makes a Pune project run on time is logistics nobody puts in a proposal.

Bungalows and second homes

Satara

Row houses, family bungalows and weekend homes where orientation, monsoon and local stone matter more than any tower brief. Different trades, different suppliers, a different pace.

Both studios keep material samples, drawings and a headset. An hour in person tells you more than any website can.
