Updated 16 October 2026: this list is built from the public profiles on Member of Architecture on that date. Details such as services and completed-project counts are supplied by each studio. Check the profile, and ask for references, before you appoint anyone.
There are 22 design practices in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad listed on Member of Architecture: 17 architecture studios and 5 interior design studios. 15 of them have had their Council of Architecture registration verified, and 3 have published finished work on MOA that you can look at before making contact. This page lists every one, with what they do and how to reach them directly.
How this list was put together
Worth being straight about the basis, because many "top architects" lists are advertising in disguise. This is not a ranking of the best architects in Pune: nobody can credibly produce that. It is every practice on MOA that works in the city, ordered by the work they have published on MOA and then by the number of completed projects they report.
No paid placements. Nobody paid to appear here, and MOA takes no commission on any project that follows.
Completed-project counts are self-reported by each studio and cover their whole career, not only the work shown on MOA.
COA verification means MOA has checked the architect's registration with the Council of Architecture. Only a registered architect may use the title "architect" in India, under the Architects Act, 1972.

Four questions worth asking before you appoint anyone
Most homeowners ask about fees first and regret it. These tell you more:
Have you built on a plot like mine, under the same authority? Pune has three: PMC, PCMC and PMRDA, each with its own process. Someone who has filed with yours recently saves you months. Our guide to building permission in Pune explains the differences.
What is included, and where does your scope end? Concept drawings, construction drawings, approvals, liaison work and site supervision are often priced separately. Get the boundary in writing.
Who runs my project day to day? At a small studio it is the principal. At a larger one it may not be. That is fine, but you should know before you sign.
Can I speak to a client from two years ago? Recent clients are still in the honeymoon period. Older ones can tell you how the building aged and how overruns were handled.
Three models cover most of the Indian market: a percentage of project cost, a rate per square foot, or a fixed fee for a defined scope. Percentage fees are common on larger residential work, and per-square-foot pricing is more usual for apartment interiors and renovations. Ask which model a studio uses before discussing numbers, because the same total looks very different under each. Our guide to architect and interior designer fees goes into more detail, and the Pune construction cost breakdown helps you set a realistic budget for the build itself.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a registered architect to build in Pune?
Building permission in Pune is filed through the planning authority's online system, by a licensed professional who signs the drawings. Interior work inside an existing flat usually does not need a permission, but anything affecting structure, plumbing stacks or the facade generally does, and housing societies have their own rules. Confirm with PMC, PCMC or PMRDA, depending on where your property is.
How long does a residential project take?
Design and drawings typically take two to four months, approvals vary by authority and by how complete the file is, and construction of a full house usually takes a year or more. Apartment interiors are faster, commonly three to five months from design to handover.
Does MOA charge for introductions?
No. Enquiries go straight to the studio, with no commission on either side.
How do I check an architect's registration?
Look for COA verification on their MOA profile, or confirm their registration with the Council of Architecture. Our COA guide explains how.
