Any website / service to find good architects?

I've used Kaanoon and found some competent advocates there, while Upwork works well for software stuff. The ratings & listings really help in choosing the right person.

Is there any website to find good architects & decorators in India? Have a medium-size project waiting for execution, but my regular guy is unavailable.

Thanks in advance!

Genuinely, when it comes to interiors & architecture : I strictly go by recommendations.

Often, these projects can run significantly behind schedule, or see the budget being stretched. A good architect & contractor goes a long way!

Absolutely! I would always prefer to go with a referral from someone who has had a real life project executed by the Architect/interior designer. That way you get to see the proof of the pudding.

Re: Any website / service to find good architects?

If you're strictly looking for a website, Homify.in might help you.

Else, would agree with the other suggestions here - for interior design / architecture related work, references and recommendations should work best.

If your regular guy is not available, maybe ask him to suggest an alternative?

Don’t know about any website but I can refer one in Bombay and who is a close friend too. Also, you can ask your regular guy for referrals too and that will have its advantage as well. I am always of the view that specialised jobs works best with referrals. Of course, the final choice rests with what one thinks best.

https://vdesignplace.com/

An online platform that connects customers with different architects/interior designers. So unlike most other websites, you can pick and choose architects/interior designers based on their service charges and work done.

I agree completely. I’ve heard of nightmare experiences from people who went via architect websites/ home interior design websites. The involvement of third parties messes up the schedules a lot.

@GTO: check out this company https://www.instagram.com/studiomaheklalan/

They’ve taken up one of our projects (interiors for a flat) and they’re quite professional. Great communication and very particular about delivering projects on time.

Check out buildofy.com

It is a kind of aggregator for architects to show their wares

Re: Any website / service to find good architects?

GTO, I think you are looking for Bombay based architects ? or only Advocates ?

If architects, http://insght.co.in/ - they are based in BLR, though.

I have seen the work of Noman Fatehi, Marine Lines, a lot in the past (but not the recent past). I would recommend him.

Arrivae

A known relative used their services a couple of years back. Though I have not been to their house but my parents have been, and they really liked the way interiors were done.

But they are on much expensive side.

Re: Any website / service to find good architects?

A colleague had used Livspace last year for renovating his kitchen, and was quite happy with the results. According to him, their cost estimates are a bit high, but the quality of design & workmanship was excellent.
