Ask UsFrequently Asked Questions
Answers to what clients in Aswan most often ask before starting a design project
What does an initial architectural consultation include?
Our first meeting covers your site, budget range, functional needs, and design preferences. We discuss how Aswan's climate and building traditions can inform your layout, then outline next steps and an estimated timeline before any formal agreement is signed.
How long does a typical home design project take?
A residential design, from concept to construction-ready drawings, generally takes between eight and sixteen weeks depending on project size and how many revision rounds are needed. We provide a specific schedule once we understand your project scope.
Can you work with an existing plot or structure in Aswan?
Yes. We regularly design for infill lots, renovations, and additions across Aswan. We assess site orientation, soil conditions, and existing structures before proposing a design that respects both the site and surrounding architecture.
Do you incorporate Nubian or local heritage elements into modern designs?
We study local building traditions, materials, and forms and translate select elements into contemporary layouts. Clients can choose how much heritage influence to include, from subtle material choices to more pronounced architectural features.
What is included in your architectural design fee?
Fees typically cover concept design, detailed drawings, and construction documentation. Site visits, 3D visualizations, and permit-related paperwork can be added depending on project needs. We provide an itemized quote before work begins.
Do you handle building permits and approvals?
We prepare the technical documentation required for local permit applications and can coordinate with relevant Aswan authorities. Final approval timelines depend on municipal processing, which we factor into your overall project schedule.
Will I see 3D visuals before construction begins?
Yes, we typically provide 3D renderings and floor plans so you can review layout, proportions, and material choices before finalizing drawings. This step helps identify adjustments early, reducing changes once construction starts.
Can you design for both residential and small commercial projects?
Our primary focus is residential architecture, though we take on select small-scale commercial projects such as boutique offices or retail spaces where our design approach fits the client's goals and site conditions.
Do you supervise construction after the design is complete?
We offer periodic site visits and coordination with your chosen contractor to verify the build matches the approved plans. Full-time on-site supervision can be arranged separately depending on project complexity.
