Query

I am Johnson writing you from Dubai. I am in the very beginning stage of preparing a plan and happened to go through your blog.
An architectural firm from Trissur is working on my plan and they have just sent me the preliminary plan.I here by attaching the same . I would like to have your consultancy service for fixing a best & and a very cost effective plan for my plot.
My plot is in Puthuppally Kottayam Dist.Please advise me, How can we go ahead in accomplishing the above?

My reply
On going through plan sent by you I could make out few defects in it.Some of them are the following:
1.For an East facing house both Gate and Car porch should come at Northern half of the frontage.Here car porch come at South side
2.For an east facing house,Kitchen can be at South East(Agni Konam) or in your case it will be better to go for the second option position of Kitchen,North West.North East is Esaana Konam which is ideal for Pooja room and well and not good for Kitchen
3.For a modern Kitchen Store is not required.It is a mere waste of space as Modular Kitchen will be designed to have storage space separately for each item used in Kitchen arranged in a manner convenient for house wife to reach for while working in Kitchen instead of old fashioned Store which is nothing more than a dumping place.
4.U shaped stair case is out dated and old fashioned.It leaves lot of un utilisable dark space below.Present trend is to convert Stair case in to a show piece with carefully designed cabinets underneath which can be used either as display place or storage space.Also Vasthu require climbing of stairs from West to East(In this case East to West)
5.At entry to house immediately after a small Foyer a wall comes blocking entry passage.It is highly inauspicious.
6.Toilet at South East corner is not good as per Vasthu
It will be better if I can visit your site and redesign the plan of the house
Basic Plan of the house will show positions and dimensions of rooms, other living spaces, doors and windows
We will be preparing this Basic Plan in AutoCAD software and you will get a pdf copy by email within a week of site visit.
Based on mutual discussions this plan prepared can be revised and reviewed and changes accepted by our experts can be incorporated in the plan.
This is the most important document for a house construction. A well-designed plan by a qualified professional with good experience in designing and building houses can give you better facilities, appearance and lesser cost of construction.
Basic Plan for the house will be prepared after site visit,taking into account following:
1. Information provided by you on your needs, desires and hopes for the house.
2. Vasthu aspects
3. Traditional Kerala Architecture features
4. Modern Architecture features
5. Structural Engineering aspects to reduce cost of construction
6. Kerala Building Rules
7. Features of site and surroundings
I require detailed write up from you on what all you require in the house including your dreams for the house.
Our technical knowledge in the fields of Architecture, Structural Engineering and Vasthu will be used while designing your house.

My reply
What you have sent is not an Engineering or Architectural plan of the house
At best it can be treated as expression of your imagination about plan of your house
Building a normal house of three bed room with a budget of Rs.9 lakhs will be practically difficult.Even if you have only Rs.9 lakhs with you now it will be good to start construction now with a well designed plan of the house prepared by a qualified and experienced Architect.A good design of the house can save you lakhs of money and provide you better facilities with better space utilisation
As cost of all inputs of house construction keep going up everyday,it will be foolish to wait for having entire money estimated to reach you.Even if you can do only foundation of house now,do it now.Tomorrow will be costly.Housing loan is available without much difficulty now offering long term repayment options.If required we can help you on that also
