Service · from €1,500 · credited toward the project fee

Audit of an existing project
against the canon.

You already have an architect and a finished design for a house, residential section or building. Before construction begins, you need a second expert pair of eyes. I review the project against the classical canon of Vastu Vidya and the modern logic of Passivhaus, then issue a written report with concrete corrections.

Simple arithmetic

€1,500 for a project audit.
€60,000-100,000 to correct the same mistakes after construction.

Planning errors usually surface after one to three years of living in the house. Moving a wall in a brick house means demolition, reinforcement, new openings, rebuilt services and dust for a year. Finding the same error on a drawing costs €1,500.

Without an audit: what becomes clear after a year
  • Children's bedroom next to a bathroom: noise at night.
  • Kitchen in the north-east corner: smells through the house.
  • Main windows facing west: hot by noon, dark in the morning.
  • Questionable structural openings.
  • A staircase whose step does not fit the family's height.
Cost of correction: €60,000-100,000
With an audit: what I see on the drawing
  • All conflict points between functional zones.
  • Windows that do not receive the right light.
  • Rooms with incorrect orientation.
  • Structural details that need review.
  • Dimensions into which the family will not «sit» well.

Who it suits

Two different situations, one service.

Private client

You already have an architect

You are already working with an architect and are satisfied, but want an additional Vastu review. I do not break the existing solution; I point out specific places that can be improved.

From €1,500 for a house up to 300 m². Time: 3-5 days.

Developer

You have a standard section or cottage project

You are building a cottage village or residential development and want to check whether correct orientation, EPC class and natural materials can raise the sale price. This is the best way to start cooperation: a test task with a concrete result.

From €1,500 for a starter audit of 5-10 homes. More for developers →

What the report includes

10-15 pages of concrete corrections
with citations from primary sources.

01

Orientation analysis

Position of the house against true north, including magnetic declination. Seasonal insolation and the east-facing entrance principle.

02

Vastu mandala

The plan is overlaid on the classical mandala: paramasayin 9x9 for a private house, manduka 8x8 for a public building. Room placement and the central brahmasthan are checked.

03

Proportions

Checking overall dimensions against the golden ratio Φ. If the owners' heights are known, individual sazhens are calculated according to Pilecky and Chernyaev.

04

Zoning

Kitchen in the south-east, bedroom in the south-west, bathroom away from the north-east, work zone to the north-east, with recommendations for your plan.

05

Materials

Review of natural materials: wood, lime, clay, stone. Compatibility with Passivhaus and LEED/BREEAM logic. Replacement recommendations.

06

Corrections with explanations

Concrete markups directly on your drawings. Each correction is explained through Mayamata or another primary source.

from request to report.

01

02

Materials

03

Audit and report

3-10 days. Analysis across six directions. Written report with corrections and source references.

04

Discussion

30-minute Zoom review: report walkthrough, questions and advice on implementing corrections.

FAQ

What people usually ask.

How is an audit different from a full concept?

A concept is full design from scratch. An audit is a review of your finished project: planning, orientation and proportions. If the project deviates too far from the principles, I will say honestly that it is better to redesign.

If I order a full concept after the audit, is the money returned?

Yes. The audit fee is credited toward the fee for a full concept or village master plan.

What do I need to send?

Floor plans, sections and elevations in PDF; a site plan with orientation; photos if available; and, if possible, the heights of the owners for sazhen calculation.

Will you work directly with my architect?

If you request it, yes. After the report I can hold a joint Zoom meeting with your architect to discuss corrections.

Do you guarantee the result after corrections?

I guarantee that the corrections correspond to the classical canon and are explained through primary sources. Implementation depends on your architect and contractor.

First, project context.
We decide whether an audit is enough
or the concept should be redone.

You describe the project and receive a professional first assessment. No sales script.
