Home / Best Architect in DLF Phase 3
The best architect in DLF Phase 3 walks to work.
Our studio is in your colony. We live here, we work here, and several of the homes we have designed are on streets you walk past every week. This page is our field guide to Phase 3: the five house types you will see, what each one needs, and what it costs in 2026.
Your architect should be a neighbour, not a vendor.
Most studios serving Phase 3 sit somewhere else. They drive in, measure, and drive out. We walk to site. That changes the work in small, useful ways: we notice a crack on the boundary wall on a Sunday walk, we can check a site in twenty minutes, and our reputation in this colony depends on the houses you pass, not on advertisements.
- Same-day visits, because the studio is ten minutes from your gate
- Finished homes of ours in the colony you can inspect any time
- Site teams pass through Phase 3 daily, so supervision is constant
- We know the local sanction office, suppliers and utility staff by name
Walk any Phase 3 block. You will see all five.
Each type has its own plan, its own risk and its own budget. Find yours below.
The original DLF house
Small rooms, thick walls, a plot that has carried two generations. These houses reward a deep renovation: open the plan, keep the bones. Budget Rs 2,500 to 3,500 per sq ft. Full rebuilds make sense only when the structure has given up.
The stilt-plus-two floor
The workhorse of Phase 3. Parking below, two floors above. The common ask is one more floor or a facade refresh. First question is always structural: was the frame designed to grow? Check that before you dream.
The redeveloped plot
An old house came down. A new floor or two went up. If you own one, interiors and services are your project now. If you are buying one, read the column grid before you sign, and check what the sanction actually shows.
The corner plot house
Double frontage, more light, more rules. Setbacks run longer on two sides, and the design must answer two streets. Done well, a corner plot becomes the best house on the block. It rarely forgives a lazy plan.
The investor floor
Built to rent, finished to a price. If you hold one, a mid-life upgrade, better services, honest materials, lifts it into a higher rental band for less than a new purchase costs. If you live next to one, you already know which it is.
Plain numbers, before we meet.
Ranges for planning only. Your written quote follows a site visit.
Focused refresh · Rs 1,800 to 2,500 per sq ft
New finishes, updated services, paint and light. Most of a house changes without touching its bones.
Deep renovation · Rs 2,500 to 3,500 per sq ft
Joinery, wet areas, layout changes within the existing frame. Where most Phase 3 renovations land.
Full rebuild · Rs 2,200 to 4,500 per sq ft
Standard to premium to fully bespoke. Ten to fourteen months from sanction to handover, and we handle the sanction.
The parts per-sq-ft forgets
Boundaries, gates, driveways, rainwater systems, utility deposits. We price these as separate lines, so totals never surprise.
We walk these streets whether you call or not.
That is the quiet benefit of a local studio. Our work is on display on your morning walk, and our name travels colony gossip faster than any advertisement. If a house we built has a problem, we hear about it before you do, and we fix it before you ask.

Every finished home teaches the next one. This is the standard we build to in Phase 3: warm materials, honest structure, and details that still look right in ten years. Come see it in person; the address is a short walk from our studio.

Neighbours we have built for.
They live two streets away. When a tile cracked a year after handover, it was fixed before most studios would have answered the phone.K. & A. Vaidya, DLF Phase 3
Same-day site visits changed everything. Decisions that took weeks in our last project took days here.S. Chawla, DLF Phase 3
The budget had its own page and it never moved. Eleven months later the final bill matched the first one.R. Mehta, DLF Phase 3

Questions Phase 3 owners ask first.
Anything else, call or WhatsApp and a person answers. Comparing the colonies? See DLF Phase 1 vs DLF Phase 2 prices or our DLF Phase 2 architect guide.
We would like to say us, and here is our honest case: the Evas Designs studio is in DLF Phase 3 itself, so we can be at your gate in ten minutes, and several of our finished homes are in this colony, which you can walk past any day. But the rule stays the same whatever you decide: meet at least two studios, walk their finished projects, and speak to one past client before you sign.
No. We work across all the DLF phases, wider Gurugram and South Delhi. Phase 3 simply gets the fastest response because our studio is here: same-day visits are normal, and our site teams pass through the colony daily. For work further away, we schedule visits within two to three days.
Indicative 2026 ranges: a focused refresh of finishes and services runs Rs 1,800 to 2,500 per sq ft, a deep renovation with new joinery and wet areas runs Rs 2,500 to 3,500, and full structural transformations go beyond that. Most Phase 3 renovations we handle fall between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 90 lakh all-in. The real number starts with a site visit, which is free.
In most cases, yes, within the floor area and setback rules for your plot size. The first step is always a structural and sanction check: what your current papers allow, what the frame can carry, and whether renovation would serve you better. That check takes one visit. Rebuilding itself runs Rs 2,200 to 4,500 per sq ft of built-up area depending on finish, plus ten to fourteen months from sanction to handover.
Call or WhatsApp the studio on +91 99991 45949. A person answers, usually the architect who will handle your project. We visit your property within forty-eight hours, most Phase 3 visits happen the same day. After the visit you get a written note: what is possible, what it costs, and what we would skip. There is no fee for any of this.
