Our service

Architectural Design and Administration

Architectural design and administration refers to an indispensable sequence of specialized tasks including planning a single building, solidifying our policy and creating a design, proceeding with construction in alignment with that design, reaching completion and ensuring that the building can be continually used in accordance with its intended purpose. “Design” is forming a plan with deep consideration, by understanding the land of the location and conducting extensive investigation as well as listening carefully to the needs of the customer and the image that they are looking for. Of course, there are elaborate drawing plans, but in reality, there is much time, technology and passion besides this poured into the “invisible activities” required to establish a design.

Project Management

In architecture, “project management” is translated to “business implementation.” Particularly in the construction of large facilities, it is no exaggeration to claim that skill in PM has a great influence on whether or not a project will succeed. By capturing the ideas and images of our clients, we act as a mediator between them and the general contractor who will carry out the construction, adjusting, negotiating and conducting quality and progress management. EL Architects has achieved great results nationwide in highly difficult PM operations.        

Redesign- Comprehensive Building Value Maintenance Support

Just as humans have “general examinations” and “periodic checkups” in preventative medicine, we have periodic assessments for buildings, recording the changes they see over the years and formulating plans for future repairs and maintenance as well as implementing measures to maintain their value. In addition, building upon revisions of Standard Building Laws, we provide asset value heightening support by taking the environment into consideration and improving the safety and energy saving capabilities of our buildings, reexamining security equipment, improving upon hygiene and proposing redesigns to improve the appearance and signs of these facilities.

Renovation, Renewal, Conversion

The deterioration of a building cannot itself be avoided and if left unchecked will cause rooms and facilities to become vacant and thereby massively lower the value of the property. Through renovation, renewal and conversion it becomes possible to revitalize existing buildings, redefining and reviving them by making daring changes to conventional uses and thereby adding new value. EL Architects offers professional consultations regarding renovation and conversions to draw out the potential value appropriate to each building.    

Planning, and Consulting

We carry out advanced planning in accordance with the needs and circumstances of our clients, as well as consultations regarding how the property should be used from the initial design stage, to searching for land appropriate for the task. Our first priority is finding the precise direction for our clients, supporting them in their judgement in our planning and consulting on land and asset utilization. Additionally, please make use of the planning and consulting service of our company as a second opinion on the design plan currently in use.   

Brand Design

As well as erecting fantastic, suited for purpose facilities, shops and hotels, we at EL Architects place emphasis on brand design from the perspective of business management. For business facilities, the value of business operation and the building itself are closely linked. For this reason, even if a commendable building has been created, if the workers, organizations and business entities do not work healthily and understand this value, the sustainability of the business will weaken and the value and brilliance of the building which is the means of conducting operations will also be lost. EL Architects offers proposals which improve the possibilities of business sustainability by adopting polices and strategies which strengthen the business entity and integrate internal and external communication.

Management Philosophy

EL Architects aims to be a “unique company” which continues to create, discover and bravely respond to our customers needs as per our company name, “EL” standing for “unique” and “Architects” for “creation.” From rich families, rich areas and rich nations to a rich earth. With that ideal, we aim to be a company that can contribute extensively to society through construction.
