The client may take an option to get the material selection done in Pune or Mumbai, also. Outstation projects within Maharashtra will be charged extra for the site visits.

**GST on below charges extra.

We undertake projects which are really in need of priority.

We provide customized designs which need some concrete amount of time, we ensure that the required time & attention are given to every project justifies the design and consulting fees you pay us.

• Alacritys gives you the freedom of buying materials &/or finishes directly from the chosen contractors/ labours. We assist you during the selection process.
• Or you are requested to visit various showrooms and shops (from our preferred contractors/ labours or vendors of CLIENT’s choice) to finalize vendor for selection.
• The assigned executive or designer accompanies you only to finalize the selected materials &/or finishes. Selection of any is done mostly in one visit and rarely in a maximum of two visits.
• In a decided project budget, prices may change in case the selection of the materials &/or finishes changes.

• You are requested to communicate through WhatsApp or Zoom A/V call for any changes in drawings. This will be accepted once or twice for the entire project.

We give you a schedule & the tentative project plan at the registration stage. Once 3D Design & 2D Drawings are ready, the timeline for the execution will be given to you. We track the stage-wise completion of the project.

Project completion time depends on revisions/changes in Layout, Engineering Drawings, 3D Design, selection of contractors/ labours, & managing payment structure timings.

The delays occur due to changes in designs-concept, selection of materials, and delayed payments to Alacritys, vendors, & contractors/ labours.

We have considered the below details for the projects to get executed:

-Architecture Work has an area of 2500-5000 sq. ft.

• 1st Site visit & Consultancy – 1-2 days
• Estimation Phase – 1-5 working days
• 3D Design Phase – Minimum 15-30 days
• 2D Design Preliminary Phase – Minimum 15-30 working days
• Approval drawing preparation Phase – 15-25 working days
• Liaisoning Phase – Minimum 45-90 working days
• Materials Selection Phase – Minimum 4-10 working days
• Entire Site Execution – Minimum 9-11 months

The client has the authority to decide the team of vendors & contractors from his/her reference or through Alacritys team of vendors and contractors, according to the budget or for specific parts of the site.

These things need to be pre-discussed between both the parties & will be added in the agreement occurs between the Client & the Designer.

• Approval of the Designs at the earliest.
• Selection of contractors & suppliers after the design phase itself if they are from your side.
• Selection of the materials before the design phase & if required then should be in time at the time of the site execution.
• Timely payment to the designer & to the on-site working contractors.
• Timely Payment to the selected labours, contractors or vendors at the design stages if the client has any of them from his side.
• Direct payment to the supplier/ vendors on time if there are.

• This keeps complete transparency amongst all.
• You can avail of discounts directly by negotiating with them.
• You can regulate the budget by selecting materials of your choice.
• You don’t have to worry about percentage-based increasing fees.
• This option keeps you away from any commission-based dealings.
• Last and significant is that you pay them directly.
• You can save equal to or more than our design fee amount at the end of the project.

• Yes. Only if the project is in a Turnkey pattern. This needs to be the end-to-end solution for you at the single doorstep that is Alacritys.
• This process speeds up the work in the studio as well as on-site by 50-75% & the site execution timeline is less compared to doing it on a consultancy based.

We do provide a mood board at the time of initial design phases & a material board with reference pictures once you approve 3D designs.

Before the site starts almost 85-90% of the selection of the material gets frozen. Rest materials might get selected on-site, at our office, or at suppliers’ places.

• Any Structural changes can’t be made once executed at the site.
• In case any minor modifications are there then it will be discussed & decided mutually between the Client & the Designer to implement them or not at the time of the site execution.

• According to our company standards, in case, any disputes occur from the Client’s side & the Client asks us to stop the work. In that case, Alacritys will charge the entire fees for Design & Consultancy except for the last execution phase fees which could be, 5-15% based on the execution stages.

We do consider the Sustainability of the products for a longer duration.

Eco-friendly is the individual’s choice & we work on that if the specific requirement is there.

Before starting the Design phases, the Client has the freedom to choose the styles & change the styles when the first 3D work is submitted by us in case you want something different & even when not liked the given ones.

It is challenging to change the styles when work starts on-site as it changes the entire design theme & this may bring sudden weird variations in the places we execute.

These are two different words. Designing helps & controls the details of the products. Designers are aware of the sustainability of the structure & the products, technical & legal parts for the ongoing site work & at the time of the site completion.

Decoration does involve the add-on to the existing aesthetics of the site & the structure of the site. Like, draperies, accessories, look & feel of the new materials with the existing materials of the site.

• As Interior Designers are trained & experienced, they will assist you in materials selection & your site will have that great look at what you are looking at.
• Because of their networking in the market, they can easily explore several options for the materials & assist you in choosing the fair one & getting them available on site.
• They have commands on the software that are used to design the spaces. This can lessen the time-consuming process easily.
• As they got a good experience, they know what is correct for you, your loved ones, & associates who will be using the spaces you have the plan to design.

Architects & Designers help to develop society, as well as support shaping the future of the people.

There are several old renowned architects across the world who not only created individual homes or apartments but developed cities also.

Architects do work on aesthetics along with planning which is a double vision that guides people to develop their residences & professional places.
