Challenges Faced

All architectural firms share one common factor, which is working on a tight budget for a project, most clients seem not to understand the importance of thermal comfort in building which might prevent the long term defects. “Non-availability of local manufacturing base and inability to detail bespoke building solutions, lack of robust local pallet to choose from for specification is a challenge when the building is being constructed also the limitation of experimental room comes as a challenge, laments the Directors.
