This is a very common question! The time it takes for an architect to prepare your house plans depends on a few important things — like the size of your project, how detailed the design needs to be, and how many changes you request.
Here’s a simple breakdown from Tokyo Designerz (Pvt) Ltd to help you understand the process:
Typical Timeline for Architectural Design
1. Conceptual Design Stage
(First ideas, layout sketches, and rough planning)
Time: 1 to 3 weeks
During this stage, we:
- Visit your site and understand your needs
- Create rough layouts, “bubble diagrams,” and space planning ideas
- Share mood boards and early design visuals
Tokyo Designerz (Pvt) Ltd works closely with you to shape your dream in this early phase.
2. Schematic Design & Final Layout
(Detailed floor plans, building elevations, and 3D views)
Time: 2 to 4 weeks
In this step, we develop:
- Scaled floor plans with real room sizes
- Flow of spaces (how rooms connect and feel)
- Elevations (front, back, and side views)
- Basic 3D views to help you imagine the final look
Our experienced team at Tokyo Designerz (Pvt) Ltd focuses on getting both function and beauty just right.
3. Detailed Design & Construction Drawings
(Technical drawings ready for building and approvals)
Time: 3 to 6 weeks (or longer for large/complex homes)
Here, we prepare:
- Detailed architectural drawings (floor plans, sections, and elevations)
- Electrical layouts, plumbing layouts, and HVAC systems
- Structural drawings for foundations and load-bearing parts
- Material specifications, BOQ (Bill of Quantities), and finishes (if needed)
At Tokyo Designerz (Pvt) Ltd, we ensure everything is ready for smooth construction and government approvals.
How Long in Total?
| Project Size | Approximate Time |
| Small house (1000–1500 sq.ft) | 4–6 weeks |
| Medium house (1500–3000 sq.ft) | 6–8 weeks |
| Large villa or luxury home | 8–12+ weeks |
| Complex/custom-designed homes | 12+ weeks |
Note: Sometimes timelines extend if there are many revisions or if approval processes take longer — but good communication can speed things up!
