Top 20 Architects in Jaipur (2026): Studios, Their Work and COA Checks
20 Jaipur architecture practices with their principals, area, the buildings they design and named projects you can check. Not a ranking, and nobody paid to appear.

Looking for architects in Jaipur? Below are 20 Jaipur architecture practices, each with its principals, the part of the city it works from, the kind of buildings it designs and one or two named projects you can look up yourself. Four are on Member of Architecture with their Council of Architecture (COA) registration verified; the other 16 are established studios whose built work we checked on their own websites or in the design press.
How this list was made (checked 31 Oct 2026): this is not a ranking. MOA members come first, then the other studios in alphabetical order. Nobody paid to appear, and MOA takes no commission on any project that follows. Facts about each studio come from its own website, a design publication or a public project credit, all listed in Sources. We did not use review sites, star ratings or directory listings. Completed-project counts on MOA profiles are self-reported.
This post replaces the architecture half of our older Jaipur architects and interior designers list. A separate list of interior design studios in Jaipur is coming next in this series, and no studio appears in both.
A note on COA registration
In India, only a person registered with the Council of Architecture may practise under the title "architect", under the Architects Act, 1972 (our explainer on the Act covers the detail). It also matters in Jaipur for a practical reason: building plans filed with the local body must be signed by a registered architect, and on plots up to 500 sq m the owner and a registered architect certify the approval checklist together.
- MOA members: "COA verified" means MOA checked the architect's registration when the profile was set up.
- Everyone else: the COA's Verify Your Architect tool searches by registration number (CA/year/number) and asks for a security code, so it cannot be searched by name. We did not run it for these studios, so each one is marked "COA registration not confirmed by us". That is a gap in our checking, not a doubt about the studio. Ask any architect for their CA number and check it yourself in two minutes.

How to choose an architect in Jaipur
- Start from built work like yours. A studio that does hotels may not want a 200 sq yd house, and the reverse. Ask to visit one finished building, not just see renders.
- Check the COA number. Ask for it, then use the COA's verification tool.
- Ask who will run your job. In a larger office the principal may only sign off; know the name of the architect you will deal with every week.
- Agree the scope in writing. Is it design and approval drawings only, or working drawings and site visits too? Structure and services: included or separate?
- Settle approvals early. Who prepares and files the drawings or checklist with JDA or the municipal corporation, and is liaison a separate charge?
Architect fees in Jaipur
We found no published Jaipur-specific fee survey, so we will not quote a "Jaipur rate". The national reference is the COA's scale of charges, which sets 7.5% of the cost of works for an individual house, and which the COA's own preamble calls a "mandatory minimum". In practice, fees are agreed in your contract. Our guide to reading an architect's fee proposal explains where the scale stands legally and what is usually extra, such as GST and site-visit costs.
The COA conditions of engagement also stage the fee, so you pay as drawings arrive: 10% of the total by concept design, 20% by preliminary design, 30% when approval drawings are filed and 35% on sanction, and so on to 100% at completion. To turn a percentage into rupees, start with a construction estimate from our Jaipur home cost calculator and our Jaipur construction cost breakdown.
JDA approval: what your architect handles
Since 25 August 2025 the Jaipur Region Building Regulations 2025 apply. As our 90-A and building plan guide sets out in full:
- Plots up to 500 sq m: no plan approval. You and a registered architect certify a checklist and pay the fees, and the local body issues an acknowledgement.
- 500 to 2,500 sq m, up to 15 m: an online application to the local body, or approval by a state-empanelled registered architect.
- Walled city, airport zones and other special areas: full approval at any size.
"No approval needed" does not mean no rules. Setbacks and every other norm still apply, which is why the architect's signature carries weight. If your land is still agricultural, 90-A conversion comes first. Our explainer on setbacks, FAR and height limits covers what the drawings must satisfy, and our guide to Jaipur building materials covers what goes into the walls.
Questions to ask before you sign
- What is your COA registration number?
- Can I visit a house you finished in the last three years, and speak to the owner?
- Which of the seven stages does your fee cover, and is it a percentage, a lump sum or a cap?
- Who prepares structure, plumbing and electrical drawings, and who pays those consultants?
- How many site visits are included, and what is charged per extra visit?
- Will you file the JDA or municipal checklist, and is liaison included?
