Vastu floor plan review before construction

Who this is for

• Owners with draft drawings from an architect or builder
• Families who want a second opinion on a layout
• Developers and builders working on a single home or a small project
• Architects who want a consultant's view on a client's brief

When to consult

After the first draft plan and before working drawings are issued or construction starts.

What is reviewed

• Placement of the entrance, living areas, kitchen, pooja space, bedrooms and toilets
• Central zone treatment and circulation through the plan
• Staircase, water tank, septic tank and borewell positions
• Room proportions, openings and the position of doors and windows
• Where a small change in the plan resolves several observations at once

What to prepare

• The draft plans in PDF or image form, with dimensions and a north marker
• The site plan showing roads and plot boundaries
• A short brief of what the family needs from each room
• Contact details of the architect, if you would like them on the call

What you receive

• A written summary of observations marked against the plan
• Suggested alternatives for rooms or features that sit poorly
• A priority order, so the architect can work through changes efficiently
• A call with you and, if you wish, the architect

Online and on-site

Online

Plans are reviewed remotely and discussed on a video call. This is the usual format for floor plan reviews.

On-site

A visit to the plot, subject to location and scheduling, where the site influences the plan.

Where Vastu ends and other professionals begin

• The review does not produce architectural drawings or structural design.
• Suggested changes must be checked by your architect against sanctioned plans, setbacks and building rules.
• The review does not replace statutory approvals or safety review.
