Questions

Straight answers.

See what we build into every home: the package specifications and our written promises.

Will Elamentt deal with my client directly?

Only with your agreement. You stay the designer and the client’s first point of contact on design. We handle the construction side: crew, materials, quality and the schedule.

Who pays my design fee?

Your client, as agreed between you. Elamentt does not take a share of your fee and does not charge you to join.

Do my projects have to fit your packages?

No. Packages are a starting point. We can quote any design to your own specification, item by item.

What kind of projects do you build?

Independent homes and villas across Chennai and its suburbs, typically ground to G+3. Ask us about anything larger.

Who checks the work on site?

Our site engineer visits every day, and a project manager oversees every stage. You are invited to stage reviews and can visit whenever you want.
