  1.   I have requested for comments which have not been forwarded by any one till date. I am apprising the builder about the pathetic state of construction.. Possession of flats  must  be taken on our terms/requirements   and not of builder. 

2.  For your necessary comments please.

Dear all,

1. On 21 May 2012 ,during my leave , I visited Gulmohar Garden(GG) and saw ongoing construction work at the site. I was quite shocked to see the pathetic condition of construction work inside the flats and in and around the area . In this regard , I am attatching few photograps for the perusal of all the flat owners. As per the information given by the office of the SVP group , they are planning to issue possessision letters to all of us in this week. However, with my personal assessement of the ongoing work at the site, it is visualized that 30% of work is yet to be completed which may take atleast another six to eight months for completion provided the work is progressed continuously by the builder. In my opinion, the completed work in the flats/towers and other essential work in the GG area is of poor standard.As per the website and brochure of SVP Group, items in the flats were to be provided as per the following specifications;-

(a)living/Dining/lobbyo : Vitrified Tiles (b) Walls : Oil bond distemper paint on POP punning Ceiling – Oil Bond Distemper and POP Punning (c) Doors : Painted Hardware / iron Frame with painted Moulded Skin door. Door Hardware – Shutter hinges in brass. All other hardware in Brass. A doors except those in Toilet & Kitchen to be provided with a mortice lock. (d) Kitchen : Modular Kitchen with Granite Top (e) Window : Hardwood Frame. (f) Balcony : Floor- Combination of one or more of Vitrified Tiles/Ceramic Tiles. (g)External Finishes : Textured Finish (h) Toilets : Walls Combination of one or more Ceramictiles (j) Floor : Combination of one or more Vitrified / Ceramictiles (k) Fitting & Fixtures : Single level C P Fitting with Provision of Gas Pipe line (l)Electrical Work/ (m)Fixtures : Electrical Work with copper wires in Concealed PVC conduits. Provision shall be Made for sufficient Lighting & power points Switches & sockets. Telephone & TV point In each Bedroom, Drawing/Dining Room With modular Switches and Furnished Cupboards.

2. Physical verification of flat No LV-102& 302 and other general amenities of the project revealed the following :-

(a) Quality of tiles in the flats is substandard . We were promised vitrified tiles .

(b)All frames in Windows/doors are wooden and no iron frames are fitted .

(c) Electrical fitments items are not fitted properly.

(d) Railings in the balconiesare not fitted properly and some of them have already got disengaged from the

side/bottom walls.

(e) WCs , sinks and water taps have not been fitted till now.

(f) Ceiling panels in the bathrooms are not fitted properly.

(g) Openings for the ACs have not been covered which is a great security risk since , all occupants may

not afford ACs in all the three rooms. It is desired that these openings should be covered withwooden panels for proper security of flats.

(h) Plastering work in the flats has peeled off at quite a large placesand at some places cracks have

developed.

(j) Only one lift has been fitted which is not operational. Both the lifts are required to be made operational

prior to handing over possession. The width of the lifts is small and not suitable for carriageof heavy and cumbersomeluggage at top floors.

(k) Open vehicle parking area is not ready.

(l) Sewage disposal arrangements are not ready.

(m) No arrangement of security in the complex ,which is most essential consideration before taking over

flats.

(n) Internal roads have not been made at all. External two roads from six lane highway as shown in site map

have not started till now. Taking over possession without these roads is virtually not possible.

(o) Windows have not been provided with iron grills for added protection. Similarly, there is no wire mesh

(zali) for mosquito proofing.

(p) Doors do not have iron latches for putting the locks.

(q) Plastering and distempering work is of poor quality.

2. At the moment , construction work at Krishna Garden(KG) and additional two towers(constructed on green areas) is in progress. All material for these towers and KG has to come from that single lane road which already has a heavy volume of traffic . At the moment, construction on other roads has not started . In case builder decides to offer possession letters at this stage , just imagine the plights of the residents. Seeing the pathetic state of construction at the project. I am totally demoralized and quite apprehensive about the future of our children since they will be living in a crowded area without roads , parks ,green area and other amusement facilities. It gives me an indication that we are still living in dictatorship rather than democracy where will of the builders is supreme over the consumers. The only solution totackle these atrocities of the builder is the unity of the flat owners , Therefore it is my humble appeal to all the flat owners that flats should not be taken over individually but by a selected committee only after getting optimal satisfaction level towards construction quality and provision of other essential amenities i.e. roads, security arrangement , proper sewage disposal,internal and external roads, club,swimming pool,vehicle parking facilities,parks , provision of both lifts in each flats, water supply etc. In case, if these points are not looked into by the builder prior to offering possession letters, we all will have to spent additional 3 to 5 lacs of rupees from our pockets for looking into/addressing these requirements.

3. In view of the above , you all are kindly requested to give your feedback on the above mentioned points at the earliest.

Yours Sincerely

NS Aswal

Hi Narendra ji,

I have mentioned in another mail stating building code from 'Ministry of Urban Development'.

I think before giving letter of possession, the builder can be asked for Building completion certificate.

I am going through building regulations and see what we can do about it.

All the details are as:

2.16 NOTICE OF COMPLETION

Every Owner shall submit a notice of completion of the building (prescribed in Appendix-A-12) to the Authority regarding completion of the work described in the building permit. The notice of completion shall be submitted by the Owner through the Architect/Engineer/Supervisor as the case may be who has supervised the construction, in the proforma given in Appendix- A -12 accompanied by three copies of completion plan (as in case of sanctioned plan including one cloth mounted copy) and the following documents along with the prescribed fee:

i) Copy of all inspection reports of the Authority.

ii) Clearance from Chief Fire Officer, whenever required.

iii) Clearance from Chief Controller of Explosives, Nagpur, wherever required.

iv) Clearance from Electricity Department (Municipal Council / Corporation for areas falling in the jurisdiction of Municipal Council / Corporation) regarding provision of transformers / sub-station / ancillary power supply system etc. wherever required.

v) Structural stability certificate duly signed by the Architect / Engineer.

vi) Certificate of fitness of the lift from concerned Department wherever required.

vii) Two sets of photographs from all sides duly signed by Owner/ Architect/ Engineer, as the case may be.

viii) Any other information/document that the Authority may deem fit.

ix) A certificate by the Owner and Architect/Supervisor /Engineer for covering up the underground drain, sanitary and water supply work, under their supervision and in accordance with Building Bye-laws and sanctioned building plans stipulated in the Appendix A-13 as applicable.

x) In case of large campus/complex, completion of individual block/building will be issued by the local body in accordance with the construction work completed phase wise in the proforma given in Appendix A-13.

xi) The extension of time up to the date of applying for completion certificate. In case, if the completion certificate is refused due to deviation, which cannot be

Chapter-2 Jurisdiction and Applicability of the

Building Bye-Laws

34 Model Building Bye-laws

compounded, the completion will be rejected and extension of time will be required accordingly.

xii) No Objection Certificate for regular water supply and electricity may be issued only after the completion certificate is obtained.

2.17 OCCUPANCY/ COMPLETION CERTIFICATE

2.17.1 The Authority on receipt of the notice of completion shall inspect the work and communicate the approval or refusal or objection thereto, in the proforma given in Appendix A-14 and A-15 within 30 days in case of plotted development and 60 days for Group Housing Schemes from the receipt of notice of completion. Approval to occupancy certificate shall not be refused for the residential buildings as defined under clause 1.12VI (n) unless the Authority is satisfied that major deviations have been carried out after the last inspection of the Authority. If nothing is communicated within this period, it shall be deemed to have been approved by the Authority for occupation provided the fact is immediately brought to the notice of Authority in writing by the person, who had given the notice and has not received any intimation from the Authority within 15 days. Where the occupancy certificate is refused, the reasons shall be intimated for rejecting in the first instance itself.

2.17.2 In case of buildings as defined in clause 1.12. VI (a) to (m), the work shall also be subject to the inspection of the Chief Fire officer, and the occupancy certificate shall be issued by the Authority only after the clearance from Chief Fire Officer regarding the completion of work from the fire protection point of view.

2.17.3 In case, where the building scheme requires the clearance of Urban Art Commission, then the Authority shall issue the occupation certificates only after getting clearance from Urban Art Commission.

2.17.4 Time limit of 30 days as described in 2.17.1 shall not apply to buildings as described in clause 2.17.2 &2.17.3.

Chapter-2 Jurisdiction and Applicability of the

Building Bye-Laws

35 Model Building Bye-laws

2.18 OCCUPANCY/COMPLETION CERTIFICATE (In Part)

2.18.1 In such cases where a project has not been completed at one stretch but constructed in different stages, part occupancy/completion certificate for the building otherwise complete in all respects, may be issued subject to the condition that such a part occupancy/completion certificate would apply to an independent block/building of the sanctioned project. In case of a residential house part occupancy/completion may be issued for an independent floor.

2.18.2 For projects referred to in building Bye-Laws 2.18.1 the rest of the construction which forms part of the sanctioned plan/scheme shall be completed in the remaining sanctioned or extended period after revalidation as the case may be. Thus the remaining sanction will not lapse if the part completion certificate is issued. The remaining construction shall be completed in the validity period.

Vinish

Hello Narendra Ji,

The construction quality is really not what we have seen in the sample flat and the material used in flats are not as per their brochure specifications and they have used inferior range products to cut their costs. 

I believe we all have to accept possession letter and pay the balance amount only when all our grievousness are addressed point by point by the builder otherwise after taking the possession letter and paying final outstanding dues nothing is going to happen. Lets take a final call on what would be our next steps when we receive possession letter and Vinish point on clearance certificate, etc should be also included.

Regards,

Stanly

first of all...we should stand unite and nobody should take possesion individually but discuss and take  decision as an association..

Dear All,

Lets see what SVP has approved from GDA.

And then we will check if it is according to all the regulations.

Whoever Visit the construction site this weekend can ask for the below documents.

These documents should be available at the construction site as per the GDA Buulding Regulations, 2002.

And you can click the documents pics and send them to everyone over the mail.

Documents at site –

The following documents are to be kept at site during the construction of the building and for such a

period thereafter as required by the Authority:

(i) A copy of building permit.

(ii) Copy of approved drawings and specification.

If the SVP people refuse to provide these documents, they can be told that this is mandatory at the construction site.

And even then they refuse to show it up, then we might need to approach GDA for it.

You can call to below contacts complaining about the same.

Name	Rank	Mobile Number
Santosh Kumar Yadav	VC	9654222200
Subhash Chandra Uttam	Secretary	9654224433

Lets see what they have approved from GDA.

Dear Mr Vinish,

1.  Firstly , I shall like to congratulate you for taking a lot of interest and initiative in this regard  and making all of us aware  about all the existing rules,laws and regulations about real state. Please keep the tempo going on vigorously.  We all are with you whole heatedly .After all , you are doing this good work for all of us. It is my sincere suggestion to all the flat owners that we will  form a core committee at the earliest which can take  decisions  as deemed appropriate in the interest of all flat owners. 

2. The flats should be taken over by individuals after consulting the core committee and only after builder hands over Building Completion Certificate. 

With Regards

Sincerely
