India is becoming a trendsetter in history in order to cater to the ever increasing population and hence a pressure on resources.

Many companies and builders are investing in new land banks in order to cater millions of low-rise homes for those who can’t afford a normal budgeted house.

The process of selecting architects is more of a PR related affair than intellect involved is really surprising. Each group has a selected individual based upon competition and trying to convince and go-get attitude. I am very sure this is going to increase the costs since tendering process will have a lot of unknowns. The reason to this will be non-signing of terms by the architect consistently due to which the fear of relay will affect the tempo and performance.

The visible solution is in the hands of architects. Let’s form a team circle highlighting the core competencies of each one. The senior most architect’s legal experience, flairs and skills of others, estimating & structural capability of civil engineers, dynamics of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing engineers will complement the teamwork even at 5-10 times higher rates.

It can be most enjoyable serving mankind.
