About Arkdox

Professional practice resources for architects and designers — drawn to a standard, made to be edited.

A.01 — Origin

A.01

Built inside a working studio

Arkdox did not start as a product. It started as the internal folder of a working design practice in Pune — the letters, agreements, BOQs and trackers that accumulated project after project, refined every time something went wrong on a site or a client call.

Over the years that folder became a system: numbered like a drawing set, aligned to German and Swiss documentation conventions, and tuned to the realities of Indian practice — GST workings, contractor billing, society NOCs and fee benchmarks included.

Arkdox is that system, cleaned up and made editable, so another studio does not have to spend the same years building it from a blank page.

A.02 — Beliefs

A.02

What we believe

B.01

Documentation is design

A fee proposal is read before a single drawing is opened. The care in your paperwork is the first evidence of the care in your work.

B.02

Systems beat memory

A register, a tracker and a standard letter will always outperform a talented person trying to remember everything on a busy site day.

B.03

Editable beats perfect

A template you can change in five minutes serves you better than a flawless document locked in a format you cannot touch.

The people behind Arkdox

Arkdox is founded and maintained by a small team of practicing architects and interior designers in Pune, Maharashtra. Every kit is drafted from live project work, tested on real clients and sites, and revised when practice teaches us something new.

We answer our own email. When you write to hello@arkdox.com, you reach the same people who drew the documents.
