Mr. Iyer, a sales executive by profession was for quite long living in a rental home. After lot of efforts and hard work, he managed to buy his dream home. Like any other excited homebuyer, Mr. Iyer booked the flat without looking for the builder background, approvals and construction quality. He was very happy and satisfied with his new home. After couple of years, one fine day when he was returning back from office, he was alarmed to see his home had collapsed. He was in deep shock and was unable to digest the fact that his home was no more; he was even distressed when he saw few of his neighbors lost their life in this unforeseen destruction. The reason behind this shocking incident was poor construction quality of the building. Not only Mr. Iyer, there are several other homebuyers who become victim of such realty risks as they fail to check or are unaware about the safety and quality standards of construction.Poor construction quality is one of the detrimental factors of any property. Therefore if you are investing in any under-construction property, as a sensible homebuyer, it is vital you check the construction before booking.Here are some indispensable rules to be followed before booking an under construction property to avoid the construction risks:Brief information about the builder and project:Before investing in any property, it is very essential to check the builder’s background whether he is a genuine builder or fraud, check for his past records. Scrutinize whether the builder has acquired all the necessary approvals and clearances from the associated officials. Remember, generally the civic engineer’s or contractors check the construction quality before giving clearance for any project hence it is important to gather all the information related to the project construction.Standard tests to be checked:Before booking a property, the buyer can inspect the structure by testing the soil used, the materials utilized for construction and the designs. The buyer can visit the developer’s site laboratory and check what steps the builder follows to assure the construction quality. By analyzing the soil report and design brief report, buyers can learn about the level of significance given to the designing. By the help of the third party professional, you can check the steel quality used for construction especially for high-rise buildings.Check for the load limits:There is a high-level of possibility that a building may collapse if the actual load exceeds the designed load. Generally, in India, the Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) buildings last for approximately 50 years as against the expected period of 70 to 80 years. Therefore this shows that the construction does not last usually for the designed period. The main reason for this situation is using substandard or poor materials for construction. Every building is designed as per particular load combination that consists of dead, live or wind loads. Therefore if this authentic load exceeds the design load, it results in destruction. Mostly this scenario is common in case of illegal buildings where all the approvals are not acquired.Check the legal standards and norms:Basically, Indian standards manuals (IS) and National Building Code (NBC) are the two standards followed while governing any property construction in our country. IS standard comprise of construction norms like reinforced concrete, earthquake resistant design, loading and other such factors while NBC identifies the minimum requirement of grades of various input materials like concrete and steel. According to IS rules, any building which is above three floors must use a least of M20-grade concrete. Developers use construction material even below these minimum specifications to reduce the project cost. Hence this result is poor construction quality and reduces the life span of the project.Check visible defects:As a watchful homebuyer, you should check for any visible defects when you visit the construction site. Honeycombing, cracks on building walls, seepage problem, void etc. are some common visible defects. These flaws may affect the project quality and its life span.Note: According to the structure auditing rules, it is important to check all the buildings and conduct regular audits after the construction. The inspection should be carried out, at least once in five years for the buildings whose life span is around 15 to 30 years and in case of buildings that would last for more than 30 years, checking should be done once in three years. Regular audits are mandatory to avoid unexpected destruction.So before investing in any property, keep your eyes wide open and check for all the necessary construction details to ensure that you get a perfect and enduring dream home.займ на карту без отказов круглосуточновзять кредит онлайн
