Bedroom designMany Chennai homeowners hire a 'building approval agent' — an unlicensed intermediary who handles CMDA paperwork. Here's what to verify before hiring, and why a licensed architect is usually a better choice.
A 'building approval agent' is an unlicensed intermediary who handles CMDA/DTCP paperwork. While some are competent, the role is unregulated — anyone can call themselves an agent. Risks: drawings outsourced to unverified architects, undefined fee, no objection-cycle coverage, no accountability. Better: hire a registered architect (verifiable COA registration) for end-to-end design + approval. Homeli is such a firm.
| Aspect | Agent | Licensed Architect |
|---|---|---|
| Licence verifiable | Usually no | Yes (COA registration) |
| Signs drawings | No (outsources) | Yes (signs personally) |
| Designs the house | No | Yes |
| Handles objections | Charges extra often | Usually included |
| Accountability | Low | High (professional liability) |
| Fee | ₹5,000–₹20,000 (filing only) | ₹15,000–₹50,000 (drawings + filing) |
The cleanest approach: one firm (a registered architect/consultancy) handles design, structural, approval and (optionally) construction. Single accountability, drawings stay in sync with what's filed, no vendor-juggling. Homeli's model. Cost is slightly higher than agent-only but saves you the 30–60 day objection cycles and post-approval coordination delays that agent-based projects typically run into.
