Soil Backfilling After Footing – Solid Settlement in Progress (June 6–9)

On June 6, we completed the soil backfilling work after footing with the help of a JCB. This critical step ensures ground stability and sets the stage for the next phase of construction.
To initiate soil settlement, we released 11,000 liters of water from the tank into designated settlement pits across all quadrants of the site. This water release supports natural compaction of the soil after backfill.
💧 Important Milestone:
Over the weekend, we filled water in the sump for the first time. Post this activity, we’ve been closely observing the soil behavior. Settlement is still in progress, and early signs are promising.

👷‍♂️ Site Vigilance:
During backfilling near the water sump, our mason kept a close watch to avoid any cracks or weak points — especially in the sump zone where even a small gap could lead to repair chaos later.

🛡️ Safety First:
A big shoutout to Anil Kumar  Brick & Bolt Contractor and for ensuring temporary guardrails are in place — safeguarding children and animals while work continues on-site.
Next Steps:
The team is scheduled to start plinth work tomorrow. Ahead of that, they will likely complete boundary cleanup and adjustments to ready the site for the next construction milestone.

🎥 Catch It Live:
We’ve captured the full process — from backfilling to water settlement — on video.

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!

Image
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!
