How I Shortlisted the Construction Company for My Dream Home

Being born and brought up in the same state and having lived in Bangalore for over a decade since my engineering days, it felt natural to rely on local insights when planning to build my home. Even during my diploma days in Tumkur, I often traveled for tech meetups, so networking and gathering references from neighbors and acquaintances came easily.

Labour Contract vs End-to-End Construction
The first big decision was whether to go for a labour contract or an end-to-end (E2E) contract. In Bangalore, labour contracts usually range between ₹28,000 to ₹35,000 per chadra. On the other hand, E2E contracts come with many variables — pricing varies based on materials, finishes, supervision, and support.
Initially, I leaned toward a material contract, thinking it would give me better control over material selection and cost savings. However, after speaking to neighbors who had opted for the same, I realized the hidden stress and effort involved — from managing vendors to ensuring timely deliveries.

Shifting Gears: Why I Chose an E2E Contract
Hearing real-life experiences from my neighborhood made me reconsider. Most of them regretted not going with a turnkey solution. I then decided to opt for an end-to-end contract, prioritizing peace of mind, accountability, and quality control

YouTube Recommendations & Surprise Encounters

By this point, my YouTube feed was filled with Kannada YouTube influencers like Kannada Kuvara, Kalamadhyama, and others. One day, I unexpectedly met Manoj from Kannada Kuvara at Yelahanka railway station. 

That casual conversation helped me a lot — he recommended  Kites design and construction and RCC companies and emphasized the importance of quality and project supervision.

Meeting Vendors and Comparing Quotes

Over the following weekends, I visited 5-8 contract vendors across Bangalore, interacting with their  teams and understanding their processes. Most companies offered similar pricing and features, except Cherish Happy Home, which was a bit on the higher side (₹150–₹250/sqft more than others).

Final Decision
After thorough research and multiple visits, I finally decided to go ahead with a India's tech-enabled construction company that stood out in terms of:

1.Transparent pricing
2.Digital project tracking
3.Quality control
4.Prompt customer support
5.Experience staffs 

Their approach (Sunil Kumar Ray - Technical Consultant) gave me confidence that I could rely on them throughout the construction journey

The Future of Home Design is Here - GenAI Elevation Visualization

Image
Imagine standing in front of your unfinished home, taking a picture — and instantly seeing what it could look like when complete. That’s no longer imagination it’s Way to Agentic  era. Using the AI Elevation Agent - Free tool , we can now generate realistic building elevations directly from a photo of the current structure. 👉 On the left, you see the actual photo of the existing building. 👉 On the right, the tool’s GenAI-generated elevation — a stunningly realistic visualization of what the final design could look like. What’s exciting is how accessible this technology has become. Just a year ago, producing such high-quality architectural visualizations required complex design tools and professional expertise. Today, with advancements in AI and agentic systems, end consumers and homeowners can visualize their dream facades instantly — no manual modeling, no waiting. This is just the beginning. With AI reshaping design, construction, and visualization, we’re stepping i...

Choosing the Right Sump Tank Size for My Home – A Thoughtful Decision

Image
As we begin building our dream home in BSK 6th Stage, 4th Block, one of the earliest and most important choices we made was about the sump tank size. It might seem like a small decision in the grand scheme of things, but water is such a basic necessity—it deserves thoughtful planning We are a family of 4 to 5 people, and I wanted to make sure we had enough water storage to last comfortably for at least 12–15 days, even during dry spells or BWSSB delays. After some thinking and observing how things work in Bangalore, I decided on a 8,000-litre sump. This is a practical size—tankers like Tata 709 and tractors that commonly deliver water in this area usually carry around 6,000–7,000 litres, so this capacity fits well. At our site location, the Kaveri water connection is in progress So, hopefully, the connection will be available soon. Until then, tanker water is our backup plan. Now, you might wonder—why not drill a borewell? Here's the thing: BSK 6th Stage was on...

All Set for External Plastering!

The structure has come a long way — from foundation to framework, and now it’s time for the final touch on the exterior walls. All preparations are complete for the external plastering to begin. Surface leveling, curing, and waterproofing checks yet to carried out ensure a smooth and durable finish. This stage will not only enhance the appearance but also strengthen the building’s protection against weather elements. Excited to see the transformation as the structure gets its refined outer layer!
