FAQs

Useful answers before a project begins.

01What makes an Anvaya Home different from a conventional home?

Anvaya Homes are designed as integrated living systems rather than standalone buildings. Each project coordinates construction, cooling and climate strategies, purposeful landscape, biophilic interiors, and future-ready infrastructure around one brief.

02What is NERVV?

NERVV is the autonomous living system being developed for Anvaya homes. It is intended to coordinate agreed air-quality, water, environmental, safety, periphery-awareness, and wellbeing use cases while keeping the resident in control.

03Is NERVV included with every Anvaya Home?

Every Anvaya Home can be scoped NERVV-ready, with agreed conduits, utility pathways, power, and network provisions incorporated during construction. NERVV is planned for 2027 and would be commissioned separately when available.

04How do Anvaya Homes stay cooler?

The design can combine cooling wall systems, appropriate materials, shade, passive ventilation, orientation, and climate-conscious planning to reduce unwanted heat gain. The exact assembly and performance targets are established for each site.

05Why is landscaping an important part of the home?

Landscape is planned as infrastructure as well as experience. Planting, shade, water movement, biodiversity, pollinator support, access, and maintenance are considered with the building rather than added after it.

06What are biophilic interiors?

Biophilic interiors strengthen the relationship between people and nature through living plants, natural materials, daylight, air movement, and calm spatial transitions. The response is specific to the home rather than a fixed aesthetic package.

07Are Anvaya Homes energy efficient?

They are designed around lower operational demand through climate-responsive planning, passive strategies, daylight, and coordinated building systems. Any numeric target or certification is defined and verified as part of the individual project brief.

08Can the technology be upgraded later?

That is the purpose of NERVV-ready infrastructure. Agreed pathways can make later additions less disruptive, although compatibility, access, power, network quality, and the condition of installed equipment still need to be assessed.

09Who are Anvaya Homes designed for?

They are for homeowners and project teams seeking climate-responsive design, long-term material thinking, healthy living environments, and a clear path for future building intelligence.

10What is the long-term vision for Anvaya and NERVV?

The aim is to create homes that can evolve: sustainable architecture forms the physical platform, purposeful landscape and interiors support daily wellbeing, and NERVV adds selected responsive capabilities over time.

11Can I appoint iRelish for one part of a project?

Yes. Construction, interiors, landscaping, and Nervv can be scoped independently. The proposal records interfaces with your architect, consultants, contractors, and suppliers so responsibility is not implied or duplicated.

12How are project costs established?

We do not publish a universal cost-per-square-foot because site conditions, structure, finishes, services, procurement, and responsibility vary materially. After discovery, we define the information needed for an initial range, then progressively replace allowances with documented selections and quotations.

13How long does a project take?

The programme depends on location, approvals, design maturity, procurement route, and scope. An early programme identifies decision gates and assumptions; a committed delivery programme follows once scope and dependencies are sufficiently defined.

14Who handles statutory approvals?

The appointment states which approvals and submissions iRelish coordinates and which require the client, architect of record, local consultant, or specialist. Authority fees and third-party timelines are identified separately.

15Who owns the design and project information?

Ownership and permitted use are defined in the appointment. Clients receive the agreed drawings, schedules, records, and handover information; third-party software, products, and consultant work may carry their own licences.

16What warranties are provided?

Warranty terms depend on the selected products, appointed contractors, and iRelish scope. At handover, applicable manufacturer and contractor warranties are documented alongside exclusions, maintenance requirements, and reporting routes.

17What support is available after handover?

The project scope can include a defined defects period, seasonal reviews, Nervv support, landscape establishment, and planned maintenance. Ongoing services are agreed separately where they extend beyond the original appointment.

18Can you work with an existing home?

Potentially. Interiors, landscape interventions, extensions, and Nervv retrofits begin with an assessment of structure, access, services, moisture, power, connectivity, and the value of the proposed change.

19What data does Nervv collect?

Only the signals needed for agreed use cases should be configured. The system design identifies local and cloud processing, user access, retention, remote support, and deletion. Cameras and voice systems are not assumed.

20What happens if connectivity or an integration fails?

Critical behaviour and safe manual operation are considered during system design. The exact offline capability depends on the selected equipment and integrations, and is documented during commissioning.

21Where does iRelish work?

iRelish is based in Bengaluru. Geographic coverage depends on the site, project scope, local approvals, travel, supply chain, and the availability of suitable local delivery partners. Share the location so feasibility can be assessed.

22How does an engagement begin?

Choose the enquiry context that best describes you and the type of project. The first conversation clarifies the site, stage, decision-makers, desired scope, and the next useful piece of work—without treating an early enquiry as a fixed brief.
