Bharti has a technical understanding of the built form, and lends her expertise to the solution of complex building issues at every stage of design and construction. She is passionate about attention to detail in the service of architectural excellence and the delivery of buildings of exceptional construction quality.
Bharti has nearly 25 years of experience in architectural design, construction documentation, BIM model management, site management and coordination of consultant, contractors and trades. Equally important is her ability to communicate clearly with diverse stakeholder groups, and to work collegially and effectively with large consultant teams, contractors and trades on site. Bharti is currently leading the construction documentation team for West Don Lands Block 8, a mixed-use development incorporating 770 units of market and affordable housing, of which 25% is fully accessible, commercial and retail spaces, and a broad range of community-based amenities. Bharti is a graduate of the University of Cape Town, and for 10 years was partner in a Durban architectural practice, leading design and managing construction of a broad range of residential, academic and commercial projects, including custom-designed private homes, school and training centre expansion projects, a 306,570 sm regional shopping centre, 2,500-person call centre, and corporate headquarters for a South African software design company.
