I really am quite ambivalent on this subject. By and large, many projects I have seen manage to give acceptable services. Without going into strong words like "Cheating" & Misleading" "Crooked" etc... I think that the buyers/clients usually feel cheated because they do not find the expected satisfaction in what they have purchased. When issues of promised parking, waterproofing, finishing, painting & cleaning work, security, water supply etc. are raised by the purchasers they should be adressed immediately by the seller as it is his responsibility. On the other hand the builders are struggling to keep up with management, supervision and construction problems, less than expected sales, rising cost & time over runs, labour problems... Many issues of dis-satisfaction would be solved if the sellers clearly & unequivocally state what they intend to give & specify the quality at what price, without hyperbole. This can be done only with detailed planning prior to selling the project. Most Bulders assume that the project will be finished effortlessly within planned costs and sold and everyone would be happy.

Not actly. i am a civil engineer and i personally know what happens on site. Most of the builders instruct the engineers that profit is the main motto and when profit of builder is considered the quality of work is automatically neglected somehow.

it's all depend upon the builder if it is a high profile than the work will be closer to standrads because such type of builders also have checks on quality. if a person build his own house than he will aslo give the contract ( mostly labour contractor ) and labour contractor neither have knowledge about quality nor they pay their attention to quality. so before purchasing a flat one should know the profile of builder.

it's all depends upon the builder if it is a high profile company than more or less the work will be done in standrad manner. such type of builders also have checks on quality. if a person build his own house than he will also get the work by contractor ( mostly labour contractor ) and we all know that such labour contractor do not follow the quality procedurs. so before buying a flat, first see the company profile.

Its a matter of proper referance and search and verification to get a good relator or builder. We cant tell we cant find a good one or cant get proepr help from them to realise our dreams. e.g Sobha Developers

I am not agree with you Ms. Swapna. It always depends on the Builders. If you consider the local contractors, some how i agree with your point. But they are only spoiling the construction industry.

We hardly get quality service from builders & realtors. But it is not fault of the owner or the builder because ultimately it's employees who should consider responsible for this.

No..Majority of them are profit centres. They sell houses based on square feet & common facilities.

Dear Krishnamaraju, I fully believe in your statements.This is the true business scenario in any trade in India; may be some exception you may find in IT BPO companies managed and run by stalwarts like Narainmurthys. If you are an honest Engineer in supervision, contractors will kill you.If you are in Government post, your boss in collusion with your juniors will conspire against you and throw you out. If you are eligible for the post of CEO in a Govt. organisation, you have to promise to fill coffers of respective political party who will campaign for you! The rot/ gangrin is progressing downwards from the top. Similarly, if you are a big builder, Dawood will send his emissary.If you are a small builder, Chhota Shakil has to be kept happy.What is the fault of the builders? If you are getting a quality house, be rest assured, all the Gurrh( molasses/Profits) do not go to the pockets of the builders.Bird vultures have become extinct but human vultures are very much watching everything from treetops. Thanks.

Each individual who used the services of Builder or a Realtor has a story to tell! Only one company Alacrity who has built up a good reputation on quality of service, has closed down a few years ago as they wanted to be transparent, not paying any bribes and asking for only cheque payments from customers. I have not heard about any other Builder at the all India level who does not take part of money as cash.May be a few!

Taking feedback from an old buyer from the same builder is very important. Dangers are many and in every step.Some problem may come up even after many years.Once the complete money is in the hands of the builder, you may find the most indifference of response.It is a typical Indian scenario.It may be also while buying a car, an insurance policy, buying a TV, anything. Vociferously publicize your experience in every forum taking the name of the vendors every time.

most buyers who are small buyers get their flat mostly from builders who built without any permission and this chunk is very big thus such unauthorised building once sold cannot be brought down due to poor middle class people live their and such projects are in suburbs of city so quality you cannot expect mere appearance and its workmanship tells of quality norms followed in such construction but who cares people get flats at less cost so they get attracted to it and government due to corruption and political interference cannot take any action mostly this chunk gets very bad construction quality. the other lot who purchase from builders of reput are assured of quality norms followed but have to pay high cost now some builders doing construction dont follow norms but since the building is built as per government laws some quality norms are followed all this happens since anybody can be a builder and engineer employed have to listen to its employer and follow the design mix told by so called buider if non destructive testing done many buildings will be difficult to stand the quality test but who will bother nobody neither the buyer nor builder nor government subkuch chalta hai

Most of them are extensively profit finder and in doing so they often don't take care of maintaining minimum quality and standard in their constructions.

No , unless you have knowlegde about construction materials and formalities of registration you will be fooled. The costliest of flats are made out of cheap materials and during registration buyers are genrally overcharged , cheated and not told about amnesty discount scehemes for registration which can ssave them lakhs
