Miyaar: one line of accountability from design to handover
Why Miyaar, a Bengaluru design-build practice for homes, interiors and brand environments, keeps architecture, engineering, procurement and construction within one accountable team.
Beautiful concepts lose clarity when architecture, engineering, procurement and construction are split across different teams. Every handoff is a chance for the original idea to drift, and when something goes wrong, every party can point to another.
Where the idea gets lost
- Brief
- Architecture
- Engineering
- Procurement
- Construction
- Handover
Who it is for
- Families building or renovating a private home in Bengaluru
- Owners who want design and construction under one accountable team
- Brands creating retail, hospitality or workplace environments
The Miyaar approach
- Life before layout
Understanding how people live before drawing anything, so the design starts from the people, not the plot.
- One accountable team
One team from concept to handover, so responsibility never has to be negotiated between firms.
- Design fidelity
The approved idea is what gets built, because the people who designed it stay involved.
- Visible project control
Clients can see the project's progress throughout, not only at milestones.
- Several firms, several contracts
- Design intent diluted at each handoff
- Unclear ownership when problems appear
- One team from brief to handover
- The approved design carried through
- One owner of the outcome
The principle behind it
It is the physical-world version of a principle we hold in software: fewer handoffs, one owner of the outcome. Miyaar is at miyaar.in.
