Building a bungalow as per Feng Shui guidelines

Q: Dear Mr Mohan Deep, I am building a bungalow. At which stage should I bring a Feng Shui Master in picture? Should it be now when the architect is in the process of preparing the plan or should it be after the bungalow is completed but before starting the interior decoration?

A: The best stage is now when the bungalow is at a planning stage. The Feng Shui Master can take a look at the floor plan and point out the flaws in the location of bedrooms, toilets, kitchen etc, and can also suggest the right place to have sinks, wash basins and other utilities. Even the colors of the walls in various rooms can be decided before hand. Architects are not aware of Feng Shui and create blunders. I’d know as I have spent years in Academy of Architecture, before turning to writing and later to Feng Shui. In fact, I have come across qualified architects who do not know the right height of a writing table and chair! It is better if the Feng Shui Master you consult at planning stage is acquainted with architecture. If you are buying an apartment, you can always consult a Feng Shui Master by showing him the floor plans of the proposed / under construction building. Feng Shui comes in the picture again when you want to begin interior decoration.
