SOIL TEST
Soil Test is an important part of any building project. We provide soil tests as our add-on service. We never force our clients to take this service from us. Soil Test Reports from any reputed Firms are accepted by us. As there are so many untrusty firms in this field that do not conduct soil test works correctly. So, we suggest the client to engage such firms by consulting with us and work in progress under the close supervision of our Engineers. We always try to understand the foundation soil accurately.
SITE VISIT
Before starting the design of a project, site visit is a must. We called this site visit as reconnaissance. Generally, our Design Architect and Structural Engineer conduct the preliminary site visit. We also provide site visits during construction. Our experienced project Engineers visit the project at different stages of construction. They check the reinforcement building detail as per the design. Project Engineers also check the quality of materials.
DIGITAL SURVEY
Before starting any planning work digital land survey is required. Proper utilization of space is quite difficult without a digital survey. Generally, we conduct digital surveys very soon after signing the contract agreement. It is also our add-on service. Landowners can hire any firm to conduct the digital survey. In this case, any mismeasurement caused in the digital survey may land the playing irregularity. We are the Best Architectural Firm in Dhaka Bangladesh to provide digital survey as our add-on service.
COST ESTIMATE
Knowing the construction cost is an important concern for the project owners. They have to play with cost and benefits. We provide the item-wise cost Estimate and BOQ. We segregate the project into different parts during Estimation. Foundation cost, Ground floor cost, and separate cost table have been computed in the Detail cost Estimate sheet. We also mention the materials specification is a cost Estimate sheet.

Fly Dining Restaurant is a very new concept in Bangladesh. When we want to set up a Sky Dining Restaurant at Inani Beach, Cox's Bazar, 150 feet of height and load balancing was the main challenge.
