Have you worked on homes/offices in this area (Burari / North Delhi)?

That’s another excellent question to ask any interior designer 👌 — because a designer’s local project experience can save you both money and headaches.

Here’s why it matters and how to frame it:

✅ Why Local Project Experience Matters

  1. Familiarity with Property Types
    • In Burari / North Delhi, many homes are builder floors, plotted houses, and apartments with compact layouts.
    • A designer who has worked here knows how to optimize storage, ventilation, staircases, balconies, and vastu preferences common in local homes.
  2. Knowledge of Local Rules & Approvals
    • They may already know what permissions are needed (if any) for structural changes, false ceilings, plumbing, or exterior modifications in societies/colonies.
  3. Vendor & Labour Availability
    • Designers with ongoing or past projects nearby already have local carpenters, electricians, painters who are used to working in Burari/North Delhi homes. That keeps labour + transport costs lower.
  4. Site Supervision Convenience
    • If they’re already handling projects nearby, they can make frequent site visits without adding extra “supervision charges”.
  5. References You Can Verify
    • You may be able to visit a nearby completed home or office they’ve designed, so you see real workmanship instead of just portfolio photos.

💡 How to Ask Designers

When you meet/interview them, ask:

  • Have you completed apartments/villas/offices in Burari, Wazirabad, Sant Nagar, or nearby colonies?
  • Can I see photos or visit one of those projects?
  • Do you already have labour/vendor tie-ups in this area?
  • Did you face any specific challenges here (like water seepage, narrow staircases, parking for material delivery)? How did you solve them?

⚠️ If They Haven’t Worked in Burari / North Delhi

It’s not a dealbreaker, but you should check:

  • Will they charge extra for travel/supervision?
  • Do they have reliable local contractors, or will they bring all labour from far (raising cost)?
  • Will they do a site survey first to understand the area constraints?

👉 Would you like me to pull up a list of interior designers who have done projects in Burari / North Delhi specifically (with reviews & photos), so you can shortlist from local experience only?
