With COVID changing the way we work and think of working, it’s time to change the way we operate our business. It is not a new phenomenon that architectural design process is quite intense and time consuming. With change in times, architecture practice is also looking forward to this major change with doing major design work within office and the second phase of the logistical drawings and detailing can be worked and developed by specialized agencies who can do fast architectural drafting, 3D Modelling, Working Drawings, renders, calculations, etc. This is not a new phenomenon and is quite widely done, but in this post COVID era we do see the surge in Construction market as there has been projects which were held for a while and now seems to be gaining momentum as we embark into year 2023. With this increased demand for building construction all over the work, it is of essence to work along with an agency who can deliver all the technical drawings and details in an orderly manner.

The idea to consider an architect from Mumbai, like homeplansindia.com can make help one grandly in propelling in the project faster towards construction phase. Also by outsourcing repetitive architectural drawings, the main firm or organization can free up expensive man-hours which are billed by the in-house architects and the same team can be appointed only for overseeing the drawings and the rest of the detailed drawing process. This is highly efficient way if the association is done along with experienced Architectural Design Firm with over 10 years of experience and have worked on International Projects, which follow particular Schedules and Systems to develop and deliver any architectural project.
​
With the advent of varied online platforms it’s easy to locate quite a number of outsourcing firms from Mumbai or Delhi or from Bangalore in India, but it is essential to check few basic ideologies of the firm before they are hired for any particular project or assignment. Here are few ideas which we think can help any firm to think and consider before they consider working along with an Architectural Firm from India.

1. Years of work Experience with kind of Projects

Most firms are only focusing on design development with detailed architectural drawings, but now in 2023 it is common to find Architecture firms who can be adding more value to your project than just providing Working Drawings for your Architectural project. With over the years of experience the firm can cater to Structural Design and Detailing, Steel Structure Design, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Bill of Quantities (BOQ), Construction Drawings and Specifications, etc. So much of this process is also recorded online which given ready reference information to the client and the firm to completely be abreast and aware of the status of the project at any given point of time. This synchronizes all the work and helps with the flow / execution of the project with all the concerned parties. The times are such that a project can be anywhere in the world and the same can be executed from Mumbai, India with complete ease and confidence.

2. Systems of Work flow within the Organization

If the project is divided into 4 Broad stages and then broken down into levels of tasks which needs to completed in each of the 4 Stages, then the Project will be executed smoothly and efficiently. This is one of the ways / systems of executing architectural design projects by the Mumbai firm and the same can be explained well to any organization who is interested in outsourcing their Major Architectural Design Project. Overseeing / evaluating the overall scope of work for any large Architectural Design project and framing it further into individual deliverable tasks which is easy to understand comes along with years of work experience and clarity in the field. This also comes along with the number of architectural projects which are actually executed at site. The firm needs to have worked with local and international architects and consultants to evaluate, learn and practice in these lines to provide for Quality Architectural Outsourcing Service.

4. Meeting the team to verify and understand their level of experience

For large scale architectural projects which needs to be outsources and worked along with an outside firm, it is very essential for the main Architectural Design team to meet the Firm who the project is outsourced. This will help the team to understand the scope of work which can be done by the firm, like architectural detailing, electrical and plumbing drawing, structural engineering drawings, layering of the files, model making, etc.
 
The team who is going to develop the design can explain the hierarchy work and its stages of execution which itself will make it clear if the project is being worked and reviewed correctly at different stages which in-turn is the most useful way of understanding if the team actually knows their job and can eventually deliver the project as expected by client.
