Modern layouts on legacy floor plates.
Rohini has the largest stock of DDA-allotted residential plots in North-West Delhi — Sectors 6 to 24 alone hold tens of thousands of original 200–500 sq-yd allocations. Most are now in their second owner’s hands, and the renovation question is the same in every conversation: how much of the original structure has to stay, and how modern can the inside actually become?
Two starting points in Rohini
The DDA-allotted plot, original construction. Built 1985–1995, single-floor or ground-plus-one, 4.5-inch internal walls, 9-inch external. Foundation marginal for adding floors; slab usable. The honest answer is usually: keep the structure, redo the interior end-to-end, push FAR upward only after a structural audit confirms the foundation can take it.
The builder-floor stack.Built 2002–2015, three to four independent floors, lift, stilt parking. Renovation here is interior-only — you cannot touch the columns, slabs or the shared staircase. About 80% of what owners want is plan-level and structurally safe; the remaining 20% requires a structural engineer’s sign-off.
What we can almost always do
- Re-plan internal layout end-to-end. Internal walls are non-structural in nearly every Rohini house.
- New flooring, doors, joinery, plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring.
- Replace narrow windows with wider ones along non-load-bearing walls. Lintels re-cast.
- Add a powder-room near the entrance by re-using utility/maid’s space.
- Convert a closed kitchen to an open kitchen-dining-family run.
- Add a half-floor or mumty roof room, subject to FAR and a structural assessment.

Approvals you may still need
Pure interior work — finishes, joinery, fixtures, internal partitions — does not require an MCD sanction. Adding a floor, increasing FAR, enlarging the external envelope, or any structural change does. Builder-floor stacks need an RWA NOC too, and a structural engineer’s sign-off if any load path is being altered.
We handle the approval lifecycle end-to-end through a registered Authorised Architect (AAA) and a Class-A structural engineer. For pure interior projects, we’ll tell you so upfront so you don’t pay for paperwork you don’t need.
