(first in final year class, first in thesis, first in viva-voce) He won the special award for research in architecture for his theories on a useful mathematical representation of architecture. His office (SFA) has designed and executed several important projects in and around Navi Mumbai, India. It was one of the main commisioned architects of Konkan Railway Corporation.

Architects Soyuz Talib, Kavita Parwani Talib, Zubin Zainuddin, Hardik Pandit and others started their careers at SFA. Quite a few students have also undergone internship at SFA (SFA = Sabu Francis & Associates)

He has been one of the forerunners of concept of Building Information Modeling (BIM) He developed one of the first BIM applications; the only one that respects spaces first -- using the aforementioned maths. This software has been in continuous use since 1989 and was used in practically every project at SFA. Mr. Sabu has an in-depth knowledge of both the bricks 'n mortar architecture as well as architecting Information technology solutions. A useful crossover that leads to a lot of insights in many different aspects of work and life

He founded Limen Leap Labs Private Limited; a company that offers a wide range of services in Information Technology, Architecture and Management.

He is also a sought after speaker on Design Thinking, Management Information Systems, Motivation, Behavioural change, Information Technology (especially in the AEC industry -- BIM), Architecture, Teaching and youth issues.

Though he continues to be intimately connected with architectural theory and its teaching and practice, he currently does not directly provide conventional architectural services -- excepting on a case to case basis. Some of the offerings are now being handled by Syncspace. Having said that, this site does offer a few unique services. Please see links below for details. He is also available as a speaker, and for workshops. Check his calendar and use the form at the end. The charges for each assignment would be decided on a case-to-case basis, and the payment link would be sent by email to the interested parties

His unusual architecture practice covers both architecture of the real world, as well as architecture of the virtual world -- aka software on the Internet. This practice currently has been contracted by Limen Leap Labs Private Limited for the development and test marketing of various software products that would eventually be taken over by Limen Leap Labs Private Limited.
