NationalAbout Us
EFNRA CONSULTANTS has been reconstituted from E F N RIBEIRO ASSOCIATES with our senior partner Mr. EFN Ribeiro retiring as a full time partner. He is still associated with the firm as an advisor and mentor. The firm excels in the fields of architecture, engineering and planning. We are organized by our areas of expertise rather than by discipline or location. As a result, on every project we do, our clients are ensured access to our best talent and resources. And because of our culture of collaboration, our clients benefit from our shared knowledge -- across disciplines, across markets and across oceans.
The firm is probably the smallest firm in India to have a joint venture with L& T ECC limited, the construction giant. The firm of EFNRA Consultants has distinguished International partners such as BECA Carter Hollings and Fernier New Zealand (The largest NZ Engineering Consultancy Firm) and KLEIN Medicare also of New Zealand. The firm has a MOU with RMJM UK to carry out projects together in India.
The firm has advised several Ministries as well as government bodies in matters of Planning, Policy and Project Formulation as well as Implementation. Our experience is most often sought by the Ministries of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation and the Ministry of Environment. The firm has been extending consultancy services to the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and the Deptt of Science and Technology.
The Firm also has a number of Private corporate clients. Substantial work has been carried out by this firm in Infrastructure Development for The Duncan McNeill Group. The firm is empanelled with several Govt. and Public sector undertakings.
On the strength of our performance in completing the 85000 sq.m Bhuj Hospital in a record time of 19 months, we have been recognized for our strength in Project Management and Coordination. We have handled projects on behalf of Government of Karnataka, National Council of Cement and Building Materials and IIT Kharagpur purely on Project Management basis.
METHODOLOGY
Today's successful design goes far beyond architecture to embrace the user’s experience. Staying competitive in the construction industry means more than providing a place or building. Instead it means surpassing expectations and producing environments that consider end users responses and predict their desires at every level of detail.
To reach these goals, EFNRA offers a complete package of expertise and creativity, from architecture, engineering, to environmental design and branding. We provide services as diverse as historic preservation, renovation and repositioning, and security evaluations. Energy management in buildings and building automation that are some of must haves for any future buildings.
Ultimately, our goals are your goals. We would like to create solutions that understand changing demographics, capture as much about the expectations on the outside as on the inside, reach and surpass your back-of-house goals, and deliver coordinated environments.
DESIGN AS DIFFERENTIATOR
Even as economies have floundered, the value of design has soared. High-end designers are popping up on the shelves of value-oriented retail stores targeted at the masses. A piece of architecture became the economic savior of a neglected city that long ago fell off the map.
Good Architectural Design in India has come to be recognized as a must-have by the masses as even the average apartment buyer today is looking at designer labels to Architecture in terms of both Indian and International brands.
For us however, good design never left the picture. And never does good design enliven and define us more than when we infuse it into places and projects that seem destined for the tasteless and the mundane.
We mourn the iconic buildings that fell victim to banal thinking, pseudo vernacular, pseudo colonialism and vanilla expression. And we operate under the steadfast belief that civic places should be designed with exuberance and imagination, solving complex challenges, but also elevating the soul and offering new ways of thinking about old things.
Fortunately, there are those who appreciate good design and technical excellence in this country. The Indian Buildings Congress has awarded this Firm with its Triennial Award for outstanding Institutional building to The District Hospital Bhuj Project. This award was conferred for Excellence in Built Environment and especially for Innovative design and use of new materials and technologies and was given away by the President of India Dr A P J Abdul Kalam.
