Chosen for their finish.
No trade would be appointed to a residence by default.
An approved craftsman network is our proposed standard, not a claim of an existing roster. Before appointment, each trade would be assessed for workmanship, finishing tolerance, reliability, documentation, site conduct and experience with fine materials — then reviewed as work progresses.
The trades
These are the specialist trades we would assess for a commission, against the proposed Mahligai Standard.
- Stone and terrazzo
- Fine timber joinery
- Glazing and façade
- Doors and ironmongery
- Architectural lighting
- Lime plaster and paint
- Waterproofing
- Mechanical, electrical and air-conditioning
- Automation and audio-visual
- Pools and landscape
In the workshop
For a commission, major custom pieces — a staircase, a kitchen, a set of carved screens — would be inspected at the workshop before delivery. Full-size mock-ups would be reviewed with the family before production.
A handful of residences, each year.
Each enquiry is read personally by our Private Client Director. Tell us about your land and your family, and we will arrange a private conversation — in person, or wherever in the world you are.
