International Designs Shape Indian Construction Projects (Business Feature)

Experts in the industry say these International names come with a price 
tag, but nobody is complaining about the costs.

'Hiring an international architect costs 5-10 percent of the total cost, 
depending upon the project. The cost actually doubles compared to what 
we incur by hiring Indian architects,' said industry expert.

'Yes, there is just fractional increase of cost,' added a spokesperson 
for DLF. 'The increase is around Rs.40-100 per sq ft. But this is easily 
recovered from the premium of up to 20 percent on account of better design.'

Some developers hire multiple design firms together for a single project.
