Design


natural homes

Construction of Home is always a complex task whether it is in planning phase or execution phase. At the time of the house construction there are many steps to be followed such as preparation of architectural drawings, structural drawings and obtaining approvals from concerned authorities etc.
In most of the cases of home construction projects, the money runs out before the home is completed.  This happens because the home owners do not have a stage by stage cost estimate, idea of building materials, knowledge of technical aspects etc.
Home owners must know the ways or techniques where they can save unnecessary cost while construction of their home. No one wants to pay more than necessary when building a home. These techniques apply in both the scenarios whether you construct a house in your own guidance or supervision or you have assigned a contractor to do the job.
Imarat shares various techniques or tips to save the cost of construction which keep your building budget within reason, without compromising on the home you want. These techniques includes complete schedule of construction, Detailed Bill of Quantity, Building Material Selection, Proper Planning of Architecture and Construction, Interior Designing, finishing etc.

      A WORD BY THE ARCHITECT:


      You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses & palaces, that is construction. But suddenly You touch my heart.......and I say, “This is beautiful”---------that is architecture”.
      Years ago, the great architects, all over the world were applauded for buildings that took the natural environment into its integral design -------Frank Lloyd Wright being a pioneer, Today, the responsibility on us, architects, is far greater; with so much havoc been wrought to the earth’s natural resources already, its time to put a stop to this depletion. We need to design and construct sustainable buildings and even go  a step further and educate our local populance about the wisdom of the green building movement. Each city counts, each building counts, each drop counts.
      India is poised for a major growth in the GREEN BUILDING sector and development on these lines will go a long way in contributing to the ecological of the country. It was important for our firm, IMARAT, to lead the way with sustainable construction of our own office building, because persuading our clients on the advantages of GREEN BUILDING it was imperative for our office building to be a role model.
      We have always believed in VISION & INNOVATION. My goal is creating spaces that inspire us to strive for a higher consciousness. Our design approach seeks an amalgamation of eco effectiveness, sustainable development, functional convenience and visual appeal,
      IMARAT “---- building dreams”.

      Imarat has organized seminars on spreading awareness on creating a demand for “Green Homes”. The objective of these seminars and workshops is to educate builders, technicians and home owners on adapting Green Building techniques in construction and to build & LIVE sustainably.
      A Green home is a type of house useless area is designed to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, focusing on the efficient use of "energy, water, and building materials."

      Green Homes (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages.The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.

      * Create less waste to build and live relative to normal building standards
      * Be part of a livable community
