Good Summation of all important things required for builders.
Just to add more emphasis of safety – builders should really provide a safe working environment.
Let them leave open spaces and help us to say, “Sky will not fall on our head”
With the background of recent earthquake in Japan, and after experiencing the horrible congested growth of Calcutta, Mumbai, let us pray to authorities of Bangalore not to allow it to be filled with congested concrete Jungles, haphazard layouts without enough open spaces and proper wide roads.
If earthquakes happen, like many such cities we also do not have any other option but to become pulp under those concrete roofs that we have erected over our head spending our hard-earned money.
It is high time that Bangalore town planning departments to enact strict laws so that builders should be forced to leave open spaces and provide wide roads in layout .The Govt should take over vacant places and make it as playgrounds. In such a catastrophic situation we can rush to those open spaces and can say, “Sky will not fall on our head”

Once a certificate
is issued, land registration can be a simple and efficient process. The owner
often only has to sign the original certificate that was issued and a
duplicate copy to make a transfer.Thanks a lot for sharing.
What exactly are you referring to when you say Lift authority, is there any government body for it or is it just lift company. Also, my builder has said lift company is going to give NOC, is it correct. Or does he mean lift company obtains it themselves from relevant body instead of builder
can a builder of an apartment use a space demarked as DEPARTMENTAL STORE in the blueprint for purpose other than the one sanctioned by CMDA and claim does this fall under the common facility of the apartment?
