Updated 16 Oct 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 15 design practices in Ahmedabad listed on Member of Architecture: 7 architecture studios and 8 interior design studios. 7 of them have had their Council of Architecture registration verified, and 4 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 Ahmedabad: 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.

Building rules in Ahmedabad: AMC, AUDA and the CGDCR
Before you brief anyone, it helps to know which rulebook your plot falls under. Inside city limits that is the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). Beyond them is the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), which the state set up in 1978 for the area outside the corporation's limits; AUDA says its area includes 5 growth centres and 169 villages of Ahmedabad district. Gandhinagar has its own authority, GUDA. All of them work to the same state rulebook: the Comprehensive General Development Control Regulations, 2017 (CGDCR), issued by Gujarat's Urban Development and Urban Housing Department. AMC's Town Development Department publishes the same CGDCR notification on its own site, and the regulations place AUDA and GUDA together in category D1.
A few points from the procedure regulations (Part I, in the consolidated text as modified up to October 2019) that shape how you hire:
Persons on Record. The owner appoints an Architect on Record or Engineer on Record, who certifies that the design complies with the regulations, and a Structural Engineer on Record for the structure. A Supervisor on Record is needed where the built-up area is more than 250 sq m, or for any apartment, commercial, mixed-use or other non-residential building.
Registered with AMC or AUDA. Persons on Record register with the competent authority. Anyone registered with AMC, AUDA or the other listed corporations and authorities may practise across the whole state, so ask the studio whether it, or the engineer it works with, is registered.
Scrutiny window. The authority is to scrutinise a complete application within 30 days of receiving it and the scrutiny fee, and then grant it, refuse it or ask for compliance.
Validity. A development permission can be revalidated a year at a time, up to four years in total from the date it was granted.
Building Use Permission. You need it before you occupy the building. The Architect or Engineer on Record certifies completion, and the authority is to decide within 21 days of the completion notice.
That consolidated text runs only to October 2019 and the state amends the regulations by notification, so ask your architect to check the current notification for your zone, especially for FSI, setbacks and parking.
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? Approval processes differ by authority and zone. Someone who has filed with yours recently saves you months.
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 Ahmedabad 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 Ahmedabad?
You need a registered professional, though not necessarily an architect. Under the CGDCR, the owner must appoint an Architect on Record or an Engineer on Record, registered with AMC, AUDA or another listed authority, to certify the design and see the file through to Building Use Permission. 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 your local authority before you begin.
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.
