Frequently asked
Questions worth bringing into the open.
Start with a guide, then let us help with the question that is specific to your space.
Do I need a consultation before buying a property?
Not always, but an early review can help you compare fixed factors such as orientation, plot relationship and core planning before you make a commitment.
Can you work with my architect or interior designer?
Yes. Our recommendations are structured to become a clear, respectful input for your existing design or construction team.
Is Vastu advice only for new homes?
No. We also work with lived-in homes, renovations, offices, retail spaces and shortlisted properties where practical improvements are still possible.
What should I share before a floor plan review?
A dimensioned plan, north direction, your goals for the space and a few details about how the rooms will be used are usually enough to begin.
