That’s a very important question 👌 — because site visits are where your designer ensures the labour is actually following the drawings. In Delhi NCR, the number of site visits included in the package varies a lot depending on the type of designer you hire.
✅ Typical Site Visit Policies
1. Freelance Designers / Small Studios
- Usually 5–10 visits included in the design fee.
- Extra visits are charged separately (₹1,000–₹5,000 per visit, depending on distance).
2. Mid-Size Firms (Design + Execution)
- Offer weekly site visits during execution.
- Some provide 1–2 visits per week until completion.
- Usually bundled into project cost (no per-visit charge).
3. Turnkey Firms (End-to-End)
- Provide full-time site supervision through a project manager or site engineer.
- Designer themselves may visit once every 2–3 weeks for design checks.
- Supervision cost is already included in turnkey pricing.
💡 What You Should Ask
- How many site visits are included in my package?
- Are extra visits chargeable? If yes, how much?
- Will you (the designer) personally come, or only the site supervisor?
- How often will I receive site photos/videos if I can’t visit?
- During critical stages (false ceiling, electrical, carpentry), will you be on-site to approve before moving forward?
⚠️ Red Flags
- Designer says: “I’ll come whenever needed” but doesn’t commit in writing.
- No supervision included → execution left fully to contractors.
- They don’t differentiate between designer visits (creative checks) and supervisor visits (daily monitoring).
✅ Pro Tip
- For a 2BHK/3BHK apartment: 1 visit per week (8–12 visits total) is usually enough.
- For larger villas/bungalows: ask for a dedicated supervisor + monthly designer visits.
- Always get site visit frequency written in the contract.
👉 Would you like me to create a “Site Visit Schedule Template” (milestone-based: design approval, electrical, false ceiling, carpentry, finishing) so you can hand it to your designer and fix how many visits happen at each stage?
