Architecture & 3D elevations.
Drawings, 3D elevations and structural design that balance beauty and budget — prepared by the same team that will build your house, so the design is priced and buildable from day one.
What does an architect do for a house in Islamabad or Rawalpindi?
An architect turns your plot, needs and budget into a buildable design: the floor plans, a 3D elevation of the front, the structural drawings engineers build from, and the map (naqsha) approval file for the society or authority. Architecture, 3D and structural drawings typically cost about 1–2% of the construction cost. Every authority in the twin cities — CDA, RDA, DHA and Bahria Town — requires approved drawings before construction can start.
Because Tiwas Builders also builds, every drawing comes with a detailed, itemised cost estimate, so you see what your design will cost before you commit. Try different finish levels in the cost calculator.
What our architecture service includes
- Architectural drawings — floor plans and layouts designed around how your family lives
- 3D elevations and renders — see the front of your house before construction starts
- Structural design — foundations, columns, beams and slabs designed for your soil and storeys
- Map approval files — drawings prepared to the bylaws of your society or authority
- Site planning — orientation, setbacks, parking and light
Map approval: what to sort out before you build
- Approved map first — CDA, RDA, DHA and Bahria Town all require approved drawings before construction starts. Budget about PKR 1–3 lakh for approval fees.
- Soil report — a soil test costs about PKR 25,000–50,000 and decides between strip footings and a raft or pile foundation.
- Stage inspections — regulated societies inspect at key stages and can stop work that does not match the approved drawings.
- Marla size — most societies, including Bahria Town and DHA, count 1 marla as 225 sq ft, while Punjab revenue records use 272.25 sq ft. Check which one your file uses.
Popular elevation styles
Modern — clean lines, flat roofs and big glass. Spanish — warm textures, arches and tiled accents. Classic — symmetry, columns and timeless detailing. Our architects use one as a starting point and tailor it to your plot and budget, then hand the design straight to our construction team.
