Generally, every reputed builder has a list of completed, ongoing, and upcoming projects on his website. This can help the buyer get an idea about the number and type of projects that have been executed by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trimurty.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">builder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in and around the buyer\u2019s target city.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approvals and Legal Compliance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The buyer should ensure that the project has a clear legal title and all approvals, like environmental clearances, are in place. \u201cThe building\u2019s plans will reflect the type of usage of space (commercial\/residential). If the construction is not as per approved plans, then, the buyer should avoid such projects, as they may face difficulties in getting the occupancy certificate (OC). Once the buyer is satisfied with the plans, he should have a look at the construction quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Structural Stability<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With respect to the building, buyers can ask the developer for a copy of the structural stability certificate, issued by the structural engineer, to be certain that the building has been designed and built as per the load estimated. One can also go through a few test reports, to understand the concrete and steel strengths of the materials used. Additionally, the buyer could ask about:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type and thickness of blocks used for construction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brand of cement used<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether a four-inch block has been used for an external wall (which is not advisable)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifications and Quality Check<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers should ensure that the specifications offered by the developer are endorsed in the agreement for sale. They should also examine:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the electrical load meets their requirements<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If waterproofing has been done in the bathrooms<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A home buyer can even consult an architect for clarifications regarding the specifications. \u201cPeriodical site inspections by the buyer will really be helpful. These inspections, if carried out with the help of an experienced architect or engineer, can eliminate the possibility of issues cropping up later,\u201d explains Anil Bhaskaran, urban planner, chief architect, and MD of IDEA Centre Architects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steps That Home Buyers Should Follow<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following all these precautions and finally investing in a property is not the end of the road. Buyers should put in as much effort into maintaining the house and its premises after the purchase. The residents\u2019 association should be active in ensuring that every aspect of the building is being properly maintained, thereby preventing the building from deteriorating.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homeowners should never break or modify structural elements like beams or columns.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid making alterations to the plumbing system without the help of the building\u2019s plumber, as any breakage could lead to seepage, which could make the building weak.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residents should consult a structural consultant every 15-20 years to obtain a structural stability certificate for the building.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annual maintenance contracts for lifts, diesel generators, sewage treatment plants, and filtration systems should be in place.
