Foundational Safety Measures:

Once the plots are fully excavated, they are then made Termite-proof. The spray in the trenches and in numerous spots in the Foundation ensures that the house to be built is protected from moisture and bacterial borne issues. Then the foundation is laid in a manner that the strength is consistent through generations of use. The house is built through the use of some of the best quality solid blocks as per design and layout of the selected house. While the design may differ, the construction process remains top notch and high quality. The houses use a U.G.W Tank and a O.H.W Tank. The installation of the tanks is followed by the creation of the boundary wall as per the house drawing and the plan approved.
