Your design brief, our own team

CivVision has its own architectural design and interior design team. Bring us a new home brief, an existing floor plan or a design requirement for a home you are already planning. We discuss the spaces, drawings and decisions you need, then set out the design appointment in a written proposal.

Architects, interior designers and construction under one roof

Our architects work on how the house sits on your plot, how the rooms connect and how the exterior takes shape. Our interior designers develop the spaces inside, including furniture layouts, finishes, lighting concepts and storage. The construction team brings scope and cost feedback into those decisions.

Tell us whether you need architectural design, interiors or a combined design and construction proposal. The appointment confirms deliverables, revisions, fees, site visits and the services included. Explore our interior design service.

What to bring first:

Plot dimensions or a survey, road direction, site photos, family requirements, preferred room relationships, approximate budget, number of floors and any plan you already have.

Start with the household and the site

Room counts alone do not make a useful design brief. The planning conversation should cover who lives in the home now, how that may change, which spaces need privacy, whether elderly family members need step-free movement, how vehicles enter, where outdoor space matters and which activities create noise, heat or service requirements.

Plot conditions then shape the answer. Dimensions, orientation, access, neighbouring buildings, levels, setbacks, water movement and local approval requirements can change where rooms, stairs, openings and service zones belong. These inputs need verification for the actual site; a generic online plan cannot establish them.

What a practical house plan should resolve

Movement
Clear circulation, usable furniture zones, sensible entries and minimal wasted passage area.
Light & air
Openings and courts considered with orientation, neighbouring construction, privacy and room use.
Privacy
Thoughtful separation between guests, family spaces, bedrooms, service work and outdoor movement.
Structure
Planning coordinated with a rational structural concept and qualified structural engineering input.
Services
Plumbing stacks, electrical needs, tanks, shafts, equipment access and maintainable routing considered early.
Build & budget
Area, spans, façade choices, wet areas, finishes and special features connected to quantities and cost.

Vaastu and personal preferences

If Vaastu is important to the family, it can form part of the brief and option comparison. It should not replace site facts, statutory requirements, structural safety, fire and access considerations, daylight, ventilation or qualified professional judgement. The final solution needs to balance the priorities that actually apply to the project.

From first option to construction information

  1. Input check: assemble reliable plot, survey, requirement and constraint information.
  2. Brief: record rooms, relationships, priorities, future needs, quality level and budget expectations.
  3. Concept options: compare layout approaches rather than polishing the first arrangement too early.
  4. Design coordination: align floor plans, elevations, sections, structure and building services.
  5. Cost feedback: measure the developing design and make trade-offs while change is still inexpensive.
  6. Approved issue: complete relevant professional and statutory reviews before information is used for construction.
  7. Site control: record clarifications and approved changes against the same design baseline.

Useful design deliverables

Deliverables depend on the appointed scope, but a homeowner should understand what each drawing is for and whether it is a concept, approval document, coordinated tender issue or construction issue. A project may need:

  • site and floor plans with clear dimensions, levels and room use;
  • elevations and sections that explain heights, openings and external character;
  • 3D views to help review the exterior and agreed design options;
  • door, window, finish and fixture information appropriate to the stage;
  • structural design and drawings prepared or reviewed by a qualified engineer;
  • electrical, plumbing, drainage and other service coordination;
  • a specification and BOQ that translate design decisions into measurable work;
  • a revision record so the current approved information is identifiable.

Our architecture team develops the agreed design deliverables and coordinates them with the interior brief, engineering inputs and construction scope. Your proposal identifies who is responsible for each drawing and which approval, engineering and site services are included.

If you already have a floor plan

An existing plan can be a useful starting point. Before estimating or building, check whether its dimensions reconcile, the site and orientation are correct, setbacks and levels are understood, stairs are workable, furniture fits, wet areas and shafts coordinate, openings respond to the surroundings and a viable structural approach is available. The review should identify assumptions instead of quietly treating an early concept as construction-ready.

Architectural services in Dehradun

Choose a starting point for your design brief. Our architects can discuss a separate design appointment or a combined design and construction project; your proposal sets out the drawings, review stages and site involvement.

House floor plan design
Develop room layouts, circulation, parking and future space needs around your plot dimensions, site inputs and family brief.
House elevation design
Coordinate the exterior, window positions, balconies and material choices with the floor plans, building proportions and budget.
3D architectural views
Review selected exterior views to discuss the proposed home, finishes and design options before the next drawing stage.
Existing floor plan review
Review an existing layout for room relationships, furniture fit, circulation and the site or engineering inputs still needed.
Architectural drawings and coordination
Develop the agreed plans, elevations, sections and details, with responsibilities for structural and building-services coordination defined in the proposal.
Design and construction planning
Connect the agreed drawings to quantities, material specifications and a BOQ for a CivVision construction proposal.

For the spaces inside your home, our interior design services cover room layouts, kitchens, storage, materials and lighting. If you are ready to build, explore our house construction service.

Questions to ask a home design team

  • Which site inputs must be verified before design begins?
  • How many planning options or review stages are included?
  • Who coordinates architectural, structural and building-services information?
  • Which drawings are conceptual, and which are approved for construction?
  • How will area and cost feedback influence the design?
  • How are revisions, client approvals and late changes recorded?
  • What is excluded from the design appointment?
A clear design appointment:

Before work starts, agree the site inputs, drawings, review stages, revision allowance, fees and responsibilities with our team. Design fees, construction costs and approval-related work are identified separately in your proposal.
