  • Development of Design into Final Approvable Design.
  • Liaisoning Services.
  • Integration of Structural and MEP aspects of the Design.
  • Project Management Consultancy for Societies

CONCEPT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Understanding the basic requirements of our Clients and interpreting them into a Design solution. It involves integration of Technological innovations with a conscious Of Green-building principles along with an understanding of the Context of the Site, a study of the Micro and Macro climate and appropriate solution to the Design ‘problem’.

DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN INTO FINAL APPROVABLE DESIGN

An Architect working on a Project in the outskirts of the city has the liberty to design and build as per his / her vision subject to Client’s willingness BUT an Architect practicing within the City limits has many restrictions arising from the rules and regulations within which his Concepts have to work. A successful Architect is the one who is able to maneuver around these and yet come out with a successful solution that caters to the clients’ requirements and manages to create an aesthetically pleasing and fulfilling building. To be able to provide a Workable Solution to All Our Clients – design-wise, approvability-wise with aesthetics being considered is our Goal.

LIAISONING

Understanding and interpreting correctly the applicable bye-laws and regulations, for all Projects within the Municipal Corporation limits, decides the fate of the Project. Liaisoning not only involves the above but also involves getting the Designs approved from the Authorities within the time-limits that the Client expects. We have been doing this consistently over the years and this is the reason we still have Clients who have been with us for more than 35 years.

INTEGRATION OF STRUCTURAL AND MEP ASPECTS INTO THE DESIGN

Developing a Design into a final Buildable-stage Solution involves full and integrated solution of Structural design and MEP design into the basic Architectural proposal that is arrived at initially. Lot of experience and technical know-how of structural systems and mechanical services is required to achieve this. We, at Vastu Shilp are proud that we are able to do this seamlessly with the help of our collaborative work with our Consultants who are experts in their own fields.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY FOR SOCIETIES

Role of a PMC for a Re-development Project involves great responsibility and taking care of the rights of the Society from all aspects:

  • To ensure that the Developer / Builder has interpreted the regulations correctly and accordingly is giving the best offer to the Society.
  • To ensure that all legal and regulatory requirements are properly fulfilled by the Developer.
  • When Project goes to the Construction stage, to ensure that all the commitments made by the Developer with respect to the quality of work are achieved and the end user is provided with the best of what is promised.

OUR TEAM

Er. Satyendra Kalbag- Founder of Vastu shilp and Partner

Satyendra Kalbag finished his Bachelors in Civil Engineering from the B.V.B. College of Engineering Hubli in 1970. After his move to the city of Bombay, he joined the Bombay Municipal Corporation as a Sub-Engineer. He always had an enterprising streak in him and wanted to start something of his own. So after working for a few years with the BMC, he started the consultancy firm Vastu Shilp in 1984. Vastu Shilp, from the beginning was a successful firm. Mr. Kalbag, even while he was in the BMC, had a reputation of being an upright, honest and sincere professional with an astute and sharp mind, very well versed with the application of the bye-laws. Mumbai ( previously known as Bombay ) has one of the most stringent and complex bye-laws of any city in India, primarily governed by the fact that Land here is limited and there is no scope for all around horizontal expansion of the city. Land, thus being an expensive commodity, in addition to a good design solution, development within the city limits is governed by the correct interpretation of the bye-laws, which, many a-times have a legal aspect to them also. Many of Mr. Kalbag’s Clients have steadfastly been with him since the beginning days of his practice and even today continue to be with Vastu Shilp.
After practicing for around 22 years successfully, in 2007, Vastu Shilp became a Partnership firm when Architect Mr. Pravin Jadhav was invited by Mr. Kalbag to join him as a Partner. Later in 2015, Architect Mr. Vikas Kallianpur also joined Vastu Shilp as a Partner.
