ASAPCON

Company Description Asapcon is a Kolkata-based architecture and interior design studio built on clarity, craft, and accountability. We transform clear briefs into build-ready drawings, airtight BoQs, and predictable delivery by pairing strong design with disciplined execution. Our teams collaborate across design, project management, and procurements to align contractors, remove ambiguity on site, and hand over spaces that work beautifully. We value transparency, respectful collaboration, and a “measure twice, build once” mindset. From homes and restaurants to offices and institutional spaces, we operate with documented processes, quality checklists, and weekly reviews so clients and teammates always know what’s happening next. Role Description The Design Associate turns concept directions into coordinated, build-ready outputs—accurate plans/elevations/sections/details and GFC sets, clear 3D models/renders, material palettes, and complete specifications—while ensuring drawing quality, dimensional accuracy, and service clearances. The role drives detail resolution via disciplined RFIs and works closely with Project Management, Procurements, and contractors: issuing builder’s packs, reviewing/redlining shop and fabrication drawings, coordinating samples and mock-ups, providing site clarifications and setting-out dimensions, and updating as-built drawings and schedules. You’ll support reviews and presentations, track decisions and approvals, and help deliver predictable execution through clear documentation and proactive coordination. This is a studio-first position with structured site exposure and limited, managed client interaction; success is measured by accuracy, turnaround, completeness of documentation, and smooth contractor execution on site.
