Risks & What You Should Verify
Because public info is limited, you should rigorously check:
- Portfolio vs On-Site Reality
Visit completed projects done by them locally. Compare the execution, finish, and details with their published visuals. - Scope of Services Clarification
What they will do: architecture, structure changes, interiors, MEP (electrical, plumbing), finishes, furniture, supervision etc. - Detailed BOQ / Specifications
Materials, finishes, brands, hardware, lighting — everything should be clearly documented to prevent surprises. - In-house vs Outsourced Execution
Ask which parts (carpentry, joinery, lighting, plumbing) they do themselves vs outsource. - Supervision & Quality Assurance Process
How often do senior designers / architects visit the site? What checks are done at each phase? - Timeline & Payment Milestones
Tie payments to deliverables. Include penalties or holdbacks for delays or substandard work. - Warranty / Defect Liability
After handover, how long they will support fixes for defects (finishes, plumbing, electrical). - Change Orders & Variations Policy
How changes you request mid-project will be handled — cost, scheduling, approvals. - Structural / Regulatory Liability
If your project requires structural modifications or permits, clearly define who handles that and bears responsibility.
