Founded in 1981 by Architect Planner Parvez Iqbal, PIAA emerged as one of Pakistan’s pioneering consultancy firms, offering a rare blend of architecture, town planning, engineering, and interior design under one roof. The firm drew on Parvez Iqbal’s exceptional academic background and professional experience as Chief Architect & Planner in leading organizations.

Since then, PIAA has designed and managed projects of national significance across nearly every sector—healthcare, education, housing, industry, transport, and urban development. From landmark hospitals like the 400-Bed Saudi German Hospital in Abha (KSA) to large-scale housing societies like Fazaia Housing (4000 Kanals), the firm has consistently delivered integrated solutions tailored to Pakistan’s geographical, socio-economic, and climatic contexts.

Our 40+ years of legacy continue to guide our vision: creating environments that are functional, culturally rooted, and future-ready.

Ar./Plnr. Parvez Iqbal, Founder & Principal of Parvez Iqbal & Associates (PIAA), was recently honored to serve as a jury member nominated by the Pakistan Council of Architects and Town Planners (PCATP) for a Punjab-wide design competition on “Sahulat Bazaar.”

The three-day event brought together creative talent from across the province, with the jury reviewing and judging more than 30 innovative submissions. The competition emphasized community-centered design, accessibility, and sustainability, reflecting the growing importance of inclusive urban development in Pakistan.

This recognition highlights PIAA’s continued role in shaping design standards nationally, while contributing to initiatives that uplift communities and improve everyday urban life.
