What goes into making your home- a checklist for 3 BHK apartment of a standalone building in Hyderabad
In Hyderabad, we have many builders offering apartments made in small plots measuring between 400 square yards to 1500 square yards. These are standalone buildings with a small cluster of apartments in a low-density locality. Usually, these apartments are built in well-established residential colonies, and due to their location advantage, builders make standalone 5-storey buildings. With a decent price, a home buyer in Hyderabad gets to live in a good locality that is plush with excellent social infrastructure and connectivity to the rest of the city.
While the offerings are many, a home buyer in Hyderabad needs to know what to look for while evaluating the ‘specifications’. This article is a guide into those INTRINSIC FACTORS which go into the making of your dream home.
Why is it important to pay attention to what goes in the making of your 3 BHK apartment?
- Besides legal safety, a home buyer needs to be pay attention to the specifications that go in the making of an apartment
- This way, the buyer won’t be vulnerable to misleading ‘low priced’, low-quality deals on buying their dream home
- Also, a buyer can identify builders who offer unbelievably low-priced deals at the cost of compromising on the BUILD QUALITY as well as SPECIFICATIONS that make your dream home safe, sturdy and beautiful for a long time to come
- When you question the specifications, you automatically realize what makes a building sturdy
- Knowing about BUILD QUALITY helps you buy an apartment that is strong in the face od adversity. A SOLID BUILD is a must to handle natural calamities, and umpteen threats that thwart the building’s structure
- This means that as a home buyer you need to have some BASIC IDEA about the various QUALITY and GRADES of materials available in the market that go into making your home
- Another CRITICAL ELEMENT is the pre-construction rigour which ensures that the health of the building is NOT compromised. A strong and sturdy building alone can withstand natural calamities, and fight threats like soil-related issues, termites, electrical issues, dampness, plumbing issues, cracking/chipping of walls, a deteriorating look, corrosion of the structure etc.
- So, being knowledgeable prevents you from buying a low quality building, and also keep your family safe for decades to come
Simply put, as a home buyer you need to know ‘what to expect’, ‘what to accept’ and ‘what to reject’!
What happens if a low quality, low-priced building is booked by innocent home buyers?
- Many a times, builders & developers use a ‘give bare minimum’ formula, and cut corners on critical construction-related specifications & standard-operating-procedures
- Such builders force-fit the budget of the customers, and give them what they want by making huge compromises in the QUALITY OF SPECIFICATIONS being used
- This is a dangerous trade-off! The builder obviously will never compromise on one’s own financial interests
- The result- an innocent and ignorant home buyer ends up buying a low-grade home that does NOT stand test of time!
- Heavy make-up on the exterior, and POOR quality on the interior is very common these days
- Builders try to sell their inventory of apartments by glamourizing the EXTERIORS. For instance, having classy external finish, and lip-=service adherence to legal requirements
A home buyer must know about the factors that determine the health of their building as decades go by.
This can happen with the RIGHT KNOWLEDGE, and ASKING THE BUILDER ABOUT what goes into the making of their dream home!
