Planning a new building
From an empty plot to an approved, costed, and supervised building.
Services
10 engineering services, from the soil under the plot to the approval on the file. Engage one, or let us carry the project through every stage.
01 / 03
Design & Engineering
New buildings and changes to existing ones, planned and engineered together, from the column grid to the reinforcement.
- Structural Design (Steel & RCC)Analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures, from foundation to roof, documented for approval and construction.
- Architectural PlanningSite plans, floor plans, elevations, and sections that turn a brief into a buildable building that complies with the rules.
- Retrofitting & Renovation DesignStrengthening, repair, and alteration design for existing buildings, from crack repair to column jacketing and vertical extension.
02 / 03
Assessment, Survey & Testing
Evidence before decisions: the ground, the plot, and existing structures, measured and tested rather than assumed.
- Detailed Engineering Assessment (DEA)Structural safety assessment of existing buildings, combining an as-built survey, material testing, and analysis.
- Soil Investigation & Foundation AnalysisBoreholes, standard penetration tests, and laboratory soil tests turned into clear foundation recommendations.
- Digital Land SurveyTotal-station and GNSS surveys that record plot boundaries, area, levels, and existing features for design and approval.
- Non-Destructive & Destructive TestingOn-site and laboratory tests that measure the real strength and condition of concrete, reinforcement, and structural members.
03 / 03
Cost, Approval & Delivery
Budgets, authority approval, and site supervision that carry a design from paper to a finished, compliant building.
- Cost Estimation & BudgetingQuantity take-offs, BOQs, and stage-wise budgets, so you know what the building will cost before construction starts.
- Construction ManagementSite supervision, quality control, and progress tracking, so the building is built as designed, on a realistic schedule and budget.
- RAJUK, GAUK & Paurashava ApprovalPreparing, submitting, and following up building plan applications with RAJUK, GAUK, and Paurashava authorities.
Where to start
Most projects follow one of two paths.

Working with an existing building

FAQ
Ask a questionAnswers for early-stage questions.
Clear guidance helps owners and developers make informed decisions before a project moves into detailed design.
What information is needed before starting a building design?
The essentials are the land documents (deed, mutation, and khatian), a land survey of the plot, a soil investigation report for multi-storey buildings, and a clear brief: the use of the building, the number of floors now and in the future, and an approximate budget. If you do not have a survey or soil report yet, we can arrange both as the first step.
Do architectural and structural design need to be coordinated?
Yes. Column positions, beam depths, stair and lift cores, and openings affect both the plan and the structure. When they are designed separately, columns end up in the middle of rooms or beams cut across windows. Planning both together from the start avoids these conflicts and usually saves material as well.
Can an existing building be altered or extended?
Often, yes, but it has to be checked first. We review the existing drawings, survey the building, and test the materials where needed to find out what the structure can carry. The alteration or extension is then designed around that capacity, with strengthening where it is required.
Should my building be RCC or steel?
Most residential and commercial buildings in Bangladesh are built in RCC, because materials and skilled labour are widely available and it performs well against fire and moisture. Steel is usually the better choice for factories, warehouses, and long-span roofs, where speed of construction and column-free space matter. For mixed cases, we compare both options on cost, construction time, and practicality before recommending one.
Do I need a soil test before structural design?
For any multi-storey building, yes. The foundation type, depth, and size depend on the strength of the soil and the groundwater level, and these vary greatly from plot to plot in Bangladesh. Designing without soil data means either guessing, which is risky, or over-designing to be safe, which is expensive.

Not sure where to start?
Send us the plot location, what you plan to build or change, and any documents you already have. We will tell you which services the project actually needs.
