How AHO works

From a browse to a build. In four moves.

You don't hire AHO for a project. You buy a product from AHO. Same way you'd buy a car — pick a model, customise within a defined frame, get production-grade deliverables. The transparent pricing is the point.

Step 01

Pick your archetype

Eight categories of home.

Independent House, Villa, Farmhouse, Apartment, Duplex, Twin-share, Studio, Bungalow. Each archetype is a category of home that fits a specific way of living. Browse all eight or land on the one that matches your plot + family setup.

  • 8 archetypes covering the full Indian home-building need-space
  • Each tile shows from-price + size band
  • Filter further on the detail page: BHK, Vastu, finish, sqft, facing, budget
Step 02

Choose a model

A specific architectural design within the archetype.

Within each archetype, a curated set of models. Different sizes, configurations, finishes — each its own architectural drawing with its own price. Pick the one that fits your sqft + BHK + style.

  • 57+ hand-crafted models live today, expanding via AI + architect-approve pipeline
  • Vastu-certified models tagged with their Vastu Score (0–100)
  • 4 categories of finish: Standard, Premium, Premium+
  • Pricing ladder from ₹399 (compact studio) to ₹15,999 (estate villa)
Step 03

Customise freely

Like picking colours and accessories on a car.

Change exterior colour, swap room arrangement, flip the facing — all without changing your price. Add accessories like an extra bedroom, a pool, a terrace garden — the price moves transparently, you see the delta inline.

  • Free L1 flex: 8 exterior palettes × 6 interior schemes × 8 facings × multiple roof styles = ~600 visualisations per model
  • Paid L2 accessories: 16 add-ons grouped by Rooms / Outdoor / Finish / Utility
  • Running total recomputes inline; no hidden upsells at checkout
  • Real-time interactive 3D (Babylon.js) is on the Phase 2.5 roadmap; today we ship studio-quality renders + narrated walkthrough
Step 04

Get your 3 deliverables

Floor Plan + Renders + Budget. Built to build from.

Every design ships with the same three deliverables. Your builder gets what they need to start. You get what you need to fund it. We don't throw a render at you and call it a design.

  • Floor Plan: dimensioned per-level CAD PDF + image — mason-readable
  • Studio Renders: 6+ Imagen-generated views (exterior isometric + front + 4 interior rooms) plus a 14-chapter narrated walkthrough in 3 languages
  • Budget: BoQ-driven cost breakdown by phase, locality-adjusted
What you actually receive

Three deliverables. In one buy.

Per-level CAD-style drawings. Dimensioned. Every room labelled. Annotated for your mason — buildable on receipt.

Two organisations · One design

AHO designs. AstroSpeaks certifies.

We don't ask architects to be Vastu masters. We don't ask Vastu authorities to draw buildings. Each organisation stays in the discipline it was built on — and your home is the better for it.

AHO
India's house-building platform
CoA-licensed architects across India deliver every DBYO design.
AstroSpeaks
Vedic Jyotisha & Vastu authority
DBYO Vastu's Vastu logic was codified by AstroSpeaks pundits.

Now you know how it works. Start designing.
