Why Documentation is necessary?

Welcome to the fifth episode of &Beyond, a podcast series by SSA, where we explore the ideas, people, and processes that shape the spaces around us.

In today’s episode, hosted by Architect Devika Ambre, we explore a topic that often goes unnoticed but forms the very backbone of great architecture — Documentation.

Joining us is Architect Amit Chaubal, Principal Architect at SSA Pune, a LEED AP professional with global experience across the U.S., the Middle East, and India. From master planning and hospital design to large-scale residential and commercial projects, Amit brings a wealth of insight into how strong documentation bridges the gap between design intent and built reality.

The discussion goes beyond paperwork, revealing how documentation acts as the language that connects vision with execution. From managing diverse international standards to adopting technologies like BIM, Amit shares how clarity and precision ensure accountability, coordination, and the integrity of every project, regardless of its scale.
