Drawings for family homes, with a fixed price
De Bouwtekenaar is a drawing office in Paramaribo. We draw houses for families who want to build sensibly: solid, cool and within budget.
Why a drawing office?
For a villa with a pool you choose an architect. For a solid family home you mainly need good drawings: a layout that works, a calculated structure and a set that gets the permit.
That is exactly what we do. You pay for drawings you can build from, not for a name.
