5 Design mistakes that can cost you lakhs!!!

1️⃣Skipping Professional Planning to “Save Money” Trying to cut architect fees often leads to higher overall expenses. Poor planning causes: Rework Legal issues Compromised quality 🛑 Mistake: Seeing architecture as an expense ✅ Smart move: Seeing architecture as an investment 2️⃣Designing Without a Clear Budget Many projects fail before they begin. When the design is created without a fixed budget framework, revisions, material changes, and rework become inevitable — all of which inflate costs. 🛑 Mistake: Designing first, budgeting later ✅ Smart move: Design aligned with a realistic budget from Day 1 3️⃣Ignoring Site Orientation & Climate Poor orientation leads to excessive heat gain, higher AC usage, and uncomfortable interiors. This mistake increases: Energy bills Maintenance costs User discomfort 🛑 Mistake: Copy-paste designs ✅ Smart move: Site-responsive architecture 4️⃣Choosing Materials Based Only on Looks What looks premium may not always be practical. Wrong material choices can lead to: Early wear & tear Frequent replacements High maintenance costs 🛑 Mistake: Aesthetic-first decisions ✅ Smart move: Balance between durability, function & design 5️⃣Lack of Coordination Between Design & Execution Beautiful drawings mean nothing if execution doesn’t follow through. This often results in: Structural changes on-site Wasted materials Project delays 🛑 Mistake: Separate design & construction teams ✅ Smart move: Integrated Design + Build Good design doesn’t cost more. Bad design does. . . . #architecture #architect #design #post #youtubeshorts #architecture #interiordesign #hospitality #housedesign #interior #construction #architect
