05How we work

  1. 01

    Listen

    A consultation on site or by video. We learn how you live or work, your plot and your budget.

  2. 02

    Measure

    A measured survey and photos of the site or space, so every drawing starts from real dimensions.

  3. 03

    Draw

    Layouts and concept options. You choose a direction before we go into detail.

  4. 04

    Visualise

    Photoreal 3D of your space. You walk through it and request changes while change is still cheap.

  5. 05

    Build

    Final drawings, schedules and, if you want, our supervision on site until handover.

06Questions

Do you work outside Dar es Salaam?
Yes. We have designed projects in Dodoma, Tabora, Bagamoyo and beyond, and work across Tanzania. Site visits outside Dar es Salaam are charged at cost for travel, and most reviews happen by video and WhatsApp.
Can you prepare drawings for a building permit?
Yes. Permit drawings are prepared and signed together with our AQRB-registered partner architect, and we coordinate structural drawings with a registered engineer.
How do payments work?
Usually 50% to start and 50% on delivery of the final drawings or images. Larger projects are paid in stages. We accept bank transfer and mobile money.
How many revisions are included?
Two rounds of revisions at each stage. Further changes are welcome and charged by time, and we always tell you before extra work starts.
I live abroad. Can I build at home with you?
Yes. You can follow the whole project from abroad. We visit the site for you, share 3D walkthroughs by link, and send weekly photo updates on WhatsApp during construction.
Can you render a design someone else drew?
Yes. Send PDF, DWG, SketchUp or ArchiCAD files, or even hand sketches with dimensions, and we will model and render them.
