Tamil Nadu - Madurai   

Some useful tips

If you want to construct a house and do not want to be trapped by inflation, here are a few suggestions from V. Ramachandran, former national president of Builders’ Association of India.

Modest budget: Never be over-ambitious. Plan your house within your reach. Let the project cost be 30 per cent less than your affordable resources.

Ready cash: Keep cash ready to avoid delay in the project. It is ideal if the house is constructed within 6-8 months.

No alteration: Tear as many plans in paper as possible. But never remove a brick to alter the plan. For, it comes with a cost. It is better to visit houses similar to that of your plan and make a decision. But once decided, stick to it.

No interference: Let there be no interference from friends and relatives to make your dream project better.

Though there should be no compromise on quality, affordability should always come before comfort.
