1. What types of commercial projects does Archtur work on?

We work on a wide range of commercial projects, including restaurants, aesthetic clinics, retail shops, offices and multi-storey commercial facilities. Our process revolves around customising each design to your brand’s identity, operational goals and spatial context for compliance and meaningful user experiences.

2. Why should I work with a commercial architect firm instead of just a contractor?

A commercial architect firm brings strategic design thinking, regulatory expertise and long-term spatial planning to the table, something a contractor alone may not provide. At Archtur, we guide you from concept to authority approvals to build-ready plans for your project to be holistically designed, not just constructed.

3. Do I need to secure permits before engaging Archtur?

No. One of our strengths lies in handling regulatory submissions on your behalf. We manage the entire authority clearance process, such as URA change-of-use, BCA approvals and fire safety. We guarantee that your project complies with all relevant codes and regulations for your peace of mind.

4. How involved will I be in the design process?

Very. Our approach is highly collaborative. We begin with a deep discovery phase where we align on your goals, needs and constraints. Throughout design development and detailing, we maintain open communication and integrate your feedback to ensure the final outcome reflects your vision and priorities.

5. How long does a typical commercial project take?

Timelines vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project. We’ll provide a clear project schedule during the early stages and keep you informed at every milestone.

Commercial Architecture

At Archtur, a leading commercial architect firm, we shape commercial spaces that leave a lasting impression: on users, communities and business performance. We aim to translate core brand identities into architectural forms that resonate deeply with target audiences and differentiate businesses in competitive markets.

Our human-centric design approach creates spaces that are both visually impressive and highly functional. To lay the groundwork, we first understand workflows, user journeys and the specific needs of employees and customers. Every design element must support smooth operations, lower costs and boost productivity.

As a commercial architect, we believe that listening, collaboration and forward thinking are key to delivering spaces that are intuitive and built for the long term.
