Hey everyone F27 here,

I’m an architect + interior designer currently open for freelance work and collaborations.

I work on:

• Residential architecture

• Interior design

• Facade concepts

• Space planning

• Vastu Consultation

• Renovations/ Remodel

• 3D visualization & walkthroughs

• Working drawings / presentation drawings

Software: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, Twinmotion, V-Ray, Photoshop.

I’m especially interested in projects that want thoughtful design instead of copy-paste Pinterest architecture. I like working with clean modern aesthetics, materials, lighting, and spaces that actually feel good to live in.

Open to:

• Freelance projects

• Remote drafting/modeling support

• Design collaborations

• Visualization/render work for architects & studios

Based in but available for remote work as well.

If you’re looking for someone reliable, detail-oriented, and design-focused, feel free to DM me with your project or requirements.

Hi,

I'm an Architect, recently graduated. I do freelance works as part time. But I have a feeling I'm undercharging. So I would like some advice on how much to charge for freelance works

How much do people usually charge for works like-

- Electrical Drawings

- Working drawings

- Elevation drawings

- Interior drawings (per room - including design)

- Interior dwg (per room - with existing 3d; just need to draft)

- Detail drawings of specific units (like study, wardrobe etc)

- Renders Lumion

- Renders Enscape

- Renders D5

I know pricing also varies depending on the details of each spaces and sizes.. but what would be a suitable range of pricing for the above mentioned spaces.

It would be really helpful if someone could guide me on this.

Hello fellow professionals , I am a 2025 graduate architect, I have worked in Amritsar for 7 months followed by I am working in Delhi at a office I don't find fun at all, I'd like to put it this way that the way I expected things to be, they are a polar opposite to that, the work culture at this place is shit, there's no system of the work being curated, I have been working at this place for about 2 and a half months and No single project has been aligned to me, I have not been given an opportunity to visit any site or anything! It's a fuc**dup Place! Please if you ppl could guide me , Like which good firms are hiring or anything related to that!

I wanted to change my 1 BHK flooring along with kitchen and bathroom tiles.

I’m confused whether I should involve an interior designer or just take quotations from contractors and get the work done directly through a contractor.

Are there any disadvantages of not involving an interior designer?

For civil renovation works like flooring, tiling, bathroom, kitchen basic work — is an interior designer actually needed or can a good contractor handle everything properly?

Would love suggestions from designers and people who have done similar renovation work.

I see many people uploading house plans here seeking design advice. While helping people is great, architects should also remember that design consultation is part of our professional service and expertise. Constantly giving detailed free advice and solutions can unintentionally undervalue an already underpaid profession in India.

Selling my drafting table in excellent condition. Perfect for architecture/design students, artists, illustrators or anyone who needs a proper workspace for sketching and drafting.

Includes a board as well.

I’m registering an architecture/construction consultancy in India. One of my associates is only 10th pass but has years of hands-on experience across execution, supervision, labour/vendor handling, measurements, coordination, materials, and overall site management. He basically handles end-to-end on-site work.

We won’t misrepresent him as an Architect or Engineer, but many tenders ask for technically qualified staff/team credentials.

What are the best legitimate certifications, diplomas, or programs that actually add credibility in bidding and firm profiles?

Considering:

• Construction management/supervision
• Quantity surveying
• AutoCAD drafting
• Safety certifications
• NSDC / Skill India / CIDC programs

Would appreciate practical advice from architects, contractors, PMC firms, or people handling government/private tenders in India.

I’m building my first house. I’ve about 2500 square yards land parcel on which I want to build a eco friendly home. Maybe turn into Airbnb for eco tourism later. I’ve not done something like this before. I wanted some guidance on how to search for an architect. I have some broad ideas in my mind. But I’m looking for someone who brings creativity and can help in execution also.
Any kind of guidance would help.
