Here we would like to discuss the land preparation before the construction process.

Focus on Eco-friendly Construction

The land should be cleared in order to provide space for raw materials storage and deployment. A thorough inspection of the neighborhood is very important for deciding the “well” position, septic tank and soak pit position. There might be a chance that there is a septic tank near your newly constructed well. So to avoid such issues, watch the neighborhood and decide your amenities accordingly.

Clearing the land also includes removing trees in the plot which are in the plan. We would like to remind you that you should definitely plant new trees in your property after the construction to compensate for this loss.

Our healthy environment is the key to all our happiness. It is our duty to maintain the balance of the environment by protecting the trees and plants.

The Landscape

Clearing the land include removing the trees from the root level and leveling it perfectly for construction. Before starting any construction process, you can start the process of getting the water source so that it will speed up the building process.

Assessing the past monsoon sessions in your area will help you to decide about the landscape of your land. In some places, you need to elevate the plot from ground level to protect your building from floods and sewage water from public roads. It goes vice versa.

Easy transport access in another major thing that you need to make sure. There will be a lot of man-hours required to accumulate the raw materials in your site if you don’t have enough road access.

The engineers at RK Builders and Developers have the perfect solution for all these concerns based on your land. Being one of the best builders in Thrissur our focus is to deliver a home which is perfectly suited for your requirement. Our work trajectory expands over a decade and the trust in our service is unbreakable. This is the key that we remain as one of the top builders in Thrissur.

Today we would like to share some of the key points you need to know before purchasing the land.

As you know, for the residential purpose you have to choose the land where the neighborhood is very much friendly and calm. This is the prime aspect of anyone who is looking for calm living.

Coming into the technical and geological aspect of the land, the following are the key points to consider:

1. Soil Hardness and Acidity
2. Water Availability
3. Landscape

The soil should be fertile and less acidic. You can check the acidity of the soil by simple test and closely examining the plants in the location. To confirm the water availability, you can consult a specialist. Anyhow you need to make sure if the land has all the facilities as pointed out above by any means.

After confirming that the land is perfectly alright in all the geological aspects you can focus on making sure about the Documents and other legal details before consulting your contractors in Thrissur.

Here if you are buying a large area for the residential area you can check the legal documents for issues but if you are buying a small area (less than 4 cents) you need to take care some other aspect other than the legal documents.

Property less than 4 cents

Based on the building permit rule in Kerala, you have to leave setbacks from each side of your building. Here, a considerable area has to leave as an offset if that side has a public road. So if your plot has public road access on two sides and you are purchasing below 5 cents, then the area for construction will be low compared to the other plots which have one public road access. This is an important fact that most people don’t know. Contractors in Thrissur are responsible for updating you about these facts.

Also, the building permit rule in Kerala allows relaxation in setbacks for construction in lands less than 3 cents.

Another important thing to verify is the legal documents. You need to verify that the land that you are going to buy isn’t part of government property. This can be verified by applying for the land sketch from the local body. According to the rules and regulation one cannot build a house in lands which are categorized as the paddy field. You have to make sure that the land is suitable for residential purpose and does not belong to the paddy category.

Summary

1. Need to test the soil hardness/acidity and water availability and landscape.
2. Check the Deed document thoroughly and confirm no issues are there.
3. Make sure the land does not have more than one public road access if you are buying a property less than 4 cents.
4. Apply for the land sketch from the local authority using the tax payments slip for confirming that the land hasn’t included in any governmental property.
5. Take the possession certificate to confirm the land is suitable for house construction and does not list as a paddy field.

Based on the close evaluation of the budget we can say that some of the tax standard rates have been hiked. Also the cement and other raw materials like plywood, ceramic tiles and granite price is increasing day by day which can cause the construction industry very badly.

In the 2019 Budget, there is a major change in the taxation of the luxury residential area. Previously, all residential construction greater than 3000 Sqft has imposed a tax amount of Rs.4000. This taxation has its own fault as everyone can see that whether it is 3100 Sqft or 5000 Sqft, all are required to pay the same amount. This has been now changed and the state government has imposed different slabs based on the square feet area.

Those are listed below:

Primarily the Kerala Budget 2019 has been focused on Nava Kerala Nirmithi but ironically hiking the price of basic raw materials like cement would largely impact this project as well as the other construction projects.

Kerala is experiencing a significant change in its weather and economic position. The scientists have reported adrift in weather condition in god’s own country after the great flood. As a part of the global and national economy, any changes in the economic conditions both in domestic and international will indirectly affect the economy of Kerala. From tech giants to SME’s, Kerala has a wide variety of business and these businesses have their shares on the economic conditions of Kerala.

Civil Construction field is also one of the key factors of our economic growth. After the great flood one can see a drastic slowdown in the construction field which directly influenced lots of workgroups and small medium enterprises. Prior to the flood, the economy is crawling its way back to normal due to the effect of demonetization. Especially in the construction field where day to day works relay on paper currencies, the demonetization has impacted a great slap on the income of the workforce. One can easily say that the common people have been damaged on a great scale by these natural and manmade “Disasters”.

As every year passes, we invite the new year with a lot of hope and plans in our mind and 2019 is not an exception. So the question is:

Does 2019 is the best year for constructing your dream home?

Well, the answer depends on a lot of factors. Some of them are listed below:

1. Economic Reforms in the center as well as the state governments
2. The after effect of demonetization
3. The introduction of GST
4. The aftermath of great flood and weather change
5. The growing NPA’s in the Banking Sector
6. Introduction of new schemes under PM’s Office

And there is many more factors and key influencer which directly and indirectly contribute their share regarding this topic.

To a certain extent, anyone can think that one should wait until the economy is on track. The effect of the demonetization should only be overcome with great economic reforms and the common man should wait until these reforms take effect in our economy.

But are you sure that there is going to be a great reform in the economic status of our country which is capable of taping all the irregularities in our economy and leading it to the best performance if that so how long does it take effect in our life?

The banking sector is also greatly impacted due to the ever-accumulating NPA’s both from private and public sector companies in our country. But now the RBI has come across various norms and regulation to curb all these accounts. Our banking industry has now learned a lot from this NPA or being forced to do so. Now all the banks whether it is public sector or private sector are moving forward with great caution and trying their best to regain the momentum.

During the tenure of the new government, we have witnessed the introduction of new schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana where the eligible groups can avail concession in interest up to a certain amount which is a huge relief for common people. Also, the local government is providing funds to the eligible individuals and families as part of creating a better environment for living and as a relief to the flood victims.

Almost all major cities and land have been hit by the great flood exposing the weak area. Some of the places where largely hit due to improper intervention on buildings and structures.

So in general 2019 is not at all a bad year for creating your dream home. By using the governmental service effectively and availing the service of a good bank anyone can build their dream home this year. Besides the construction field is well equipped and made necessary changes to the techniques and designs.
