How does ERENDERS manage approvals and material quality?

ERENDERS provides end-to-end turnkey oversight, managing developer NOCs, structural compliance, and direct factory-batch material inspections.

How does ERENDERS partner with US architectural firms as an extended back office?

ERENDERS operates as a dedicated offshore drafting, BIM, and visualization studio for US architectural practices, licensed AIA architects, interior design firms, and design-build contractors. US principals maintain direct control over client relationships, design concepts, and local permit filings while offloading heavy production drafting, Revit modeling, millwork detailing, and 3D renderings to our architect-led studio under strict bilateral NDAs.

How does the US-to-India overnight drafting turnaround cycle work in practice?

The 9.5 to 12.5 hour time difference between the US (EST/PST) and India Standard Time creates an uninterrupted 24-hour delivery loop. Your US project team redlines sheets or uploads markups at 5:00 PM before closing the studio. Our India architects work while you sleep, resolving redlines, drafting details, and updating Revit models. The completed, QC-verified sheets are ready in your cloud repository by 9:00 AM the next morning.

Which AIA project phases and US building codes do you support?

We provide comprehensive drawing sets for Schematic Design (SD), Design Development (DD), Construction Documents (CD), and Bidding sets. Deliverables adhere strictly to US National CAD Standards (NCS) and AIA layer conventions, formatted in US architectural imperial scales (1/4"=1'-0", 1/8"=1'-0") with full compliance to the International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), and ADA Accessibility Standards (Chapters 4 & 6).

Do you produce custom AWI millwork and casework shop drawings?

Yes. We prepare production-ready custom millwork and casework shop drawings complying with Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) Custom and Premium grade standards. Deliverables include floor plans, elevations, section details, hardware schedules (Blum, Grass, Sugatsune), joinery assembly callouts, and CNC-ready cut files for US cabinetmakers and luxury residential contractors.

What level of BIM / Revit modeling (LOD 200–350) do you provide?

Our certified Autodesk Revit teams model architectural, interior, and structural disciplines from LOD 200 (generic spatial placeholders) up to LOD 300/350 (specific geometry, assemblies, interface connections, and parametric scheduling). We conduct automated clash detection in Navisworks to resolve spatial conflicts before on-site construction begins.

What 3D architectural rendering and cinematic animation assets do you produce?

We generate photorealistic 4K interior and exterior still renders, drone photomontages, twilight lighting simulations, and cinematic 60 FPS architectural walkthrough films. Assets are rendered in V-Ray and Corona with DaVinci color grading, designed for client sign-offs, investor presentations, and high-conversion off-plan marketing launches.

How do you coordinate remote residential projects for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)?

We provide specialized remote architecture and interior design management for NRIs residing in the US, UK, UAE, Canada, and Singapore with ancestral lands, villas, or luxury penthouses in India. We coordinate on-site site surveys, live drone scans, digital material boards, weekly video walk-throughs, and escrow-linked milestone approvals across all timezones.

How do you protect client confidentiality and intellectual property (IP)?

All client engagements operate under strict, legally binding bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Your drawings, proprietary design templates, BIM families, and client identities remain 100% confidential. All assets are stored on enterprise encrypted cloud storage with role-based permissions, and we operate strictly as a white-label back-office partner.

Which architectural software platforms and deliverable formats do you support?

We work natively in Autodesk Revit (.rvt), AutoCAD (.dwg), SketchUp (.skp), Rhino 3D (.3dm), 3ds Max, V-Ray, Corona, and ArchiCAD. Deliverables are exported in clean vector PDFs, layered DWGs adhering strictly to your office CAD standards, and central federated Revit models.

What are your international engagement models and pricing structures in $ USD?

We offer three flexible international models: 1) Fixed Lump-Sum Per Project (guaranteed deliverables and milestones), 2) Dedicated Back-Office Retainer (Full-Time Equivalent architect or BIM modeler dedicated exclusively to your practice, saving 50–65% over local hiring), and 3) Hourly T&M for fast-track redlines. We also offer low-risk pilot projects to benchmark quality.

3️⃣ Architectural Standards of MHADA Flats (Lottery)

Built‑up area	450 sq ft (EWS) – 1,200 sq ft (HIG)	Balances affordability with livable space

Windows	2‑pane tempered glass, 30 % façade opening	Energy efficiency, acoustic comfort
Finishes	Cement‑rendered walls, Vitrified tiles (150 mm)	Low‑maintenance, cost‑effective
Plumbing	CPVC pipework, SS 304 fittings	Longevity, corrosion resistance
Electrical	4‑point distribution board, modular switches	Safety & future‑proofing
Parking	1 car + 2 two‑wheelers (free in selected sites)	Reduces on‑street congestion

8️⃣ Flat Entitlement & Compensation Calculations

Original Flat (sq ft)	Rehab FSI	New Built‑up (sq ft)	Entitlement Ratio
600 (MIG)	3.0 × original	1,800	3 : 1
900 (HIG)	3.2 × original	2,880	3.2 : 1
1,200 (MIG/HIG)	3.5 × original	4,200	3.5 : 1

← Scroll horizontally on mobile →

Residents receive a new unit proportional to the rehabilitation FSI. Any surplus area is typically commercialised (ground‑floor retail) and the proceeds are re‑invested* into community amenities (gym, pool, children’s play area).

---

9️⃣ Why Architects & Visualization Matter

At ERENDERS, we specialise in translating MHADA’s policy mandates into human‑centred, sustainable designs:

3‑D visualisation of cluster townships helps societies understand the post‑redevelopment skyline and unit layouts before committing to a tender.
BIM‑enabled coordination ensures that premium materials (Statuario marble, Schüco glazing) are optimally specified and cost‑controlled.
Post‑occupancy simulations (lighting, HVAC performance) guarantee that Daikin VRV systems deliver the promised energy savings.
