Ghar design, naksha and ghar nirman from one team

Building or renovating a home is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. At Shwet Bhairab Architects & Associates, architects and engineers work together from the first sketch to the final drawing, so your house suits your plot, your family and your budget.

We design houses in Bhaktapur, Madhyapur Thimi, Kathmandu and across Nepal: modern and traditional-style homes, two-storey, three-storey and larger houses, multi-family residences, and extensions or renovations of existing houses. People also search for this as ghar ko naksa or naksa pass; whichever spelling you use, we can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is naksha pass (नक्सा पास)?

Naksha pass is the municipality approval of your building drawings before construction begins. We prepare the architectural and structural drawings and the documents needed for submission, following your municipality's building by-laws and the Nepal National Building Code.

How much does a ghar ko naksha cost?

Fees depend on the size and complexity of the house and the services you need. We offer fixed fees, a percentage of construction cost or hourly rates. Send us your plot size, location and budget through the consultation form and we will send a proposal.

How long does house design take?

A typical residential project takes 3 to 6 months for design and documentation, depending on size and complexity. We give a detailed timeline at the first consultation.

Do you supervise construction?

Yes. We provide site visits and construction observation so the house is built according to the drawings, and we can work with your existing contractor.
