1. Experience, Credentials & Approvals
Architects Consortium was founded in 1989 by Ar. Vivek Sud (B.Arch, AIIA, FIV) — making us Mohali's longest-established architecture firm with over 35 years of continuous practice. We have designed projects across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and have worked with NRI clients based in Canada.
Yes. Architects Consortium is fully registered with the Council of Architecture, India and with the Indian Institute of Architects (AIIA). Ar. Vivek Sud holds the Fellowship of the Institution of Valuers (FIV) in addition to his architectural qualifications.
Architects Consortium is officially approved by GMADA (Greater Mohali Area Development Authority), PUDA (Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority), HUDA (Haryana Urban Development Authority), TCP Punjab, TCP Himachal Pradesh, PSIEC (Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation), Invest Punjab and Local Bodies Punjab.

As a GMADA-approved architect, Architects Consortium can get residential or industrial building plans sanctioned and construction-ready in as little as four weeks. This applies to residential and industrial plots up to 1,000 sq. yards and commercial properties including booths, SCOs, SSS and SCFs.
2. Services, Project Types & Scale
We handle all project types — residential homes, villas, builder floors and apartments; commercial SCOs, SCFs, offices and showrooms; industrial factories, pharma facilities and warehouses; institutional schools, colleges and auditoriums; healthcare hospitals, clinics and nursing homes; township master planning for sites of 100+ acres; prefab and LGSF structures; and complete interior design and turnkey projects.
Yes — and this is one of our strongest differentiators. Architects Consortium undertakes complete township planning for sites of 100 acres and above, including master plan layout, plotting, zoning, road network, drainage, utilities and all support infrastructure. We design every building type within the township — residential, commercial, institutional, healthcare and recreational — under a single integrated master plan. Very few architecture firms in North India have active experience at this scale.
Yes. Architects Consortium provides Architecture, Structural Engineering, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing), Interior Design, Project Management and Construction Supervision entirely in-house.

Yes. Architects Consortium has experience in Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) and Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) design — particularly suited for industrial facilities, warehouses and quick-build institutional projects. These structures offer significant cost and time savings over conventional construction without compromising structural integrity.
Yes. Architects Consortium incorporates Vastu Shastra principles into residential, commercial and institutional designs on request. Ar. Vivek Sud has extensive experience integrating Vastu requirements with modern architectural design — ensuring compliance without compromising on aesthetics, functionality or building regulations.
3. Fees, Process & Working With Us
Architectural fees in India are governed by the Council of Architecture scale of charges and are typically calculated as a percentage of the project cost — usually between 5% and 10% depending on project type, size and scope of services required. For smaller projects a fixed lump sum may be agreed. Contact us for a free no-obligation consultation and a project-specific fee proposal.
Our process follows these stages: (1) Free initial consultation — we understand your requirements, site and budget. (2) Brief and feasibility — we assess the site, local regulations and approval requirements. (3) Concept design — initial sketches and layouts for your feedback. (4) Design development — detailed drawings, materials and specifications. (5) Approval drawings — submission to GMADA, PUDA or relevant authority. (6) Construction drawings — full working drawings for contractors. (7) Construction supervision — site visits and quality oversight throughout construction. (8) Handover — final inspection and project completion.
