I’m sending this email from my village… I came here for a village festival which happens once a year, every year.
It’s a grand festival most of them will gather for this festival from different places.
It’s FUN to meet everyone.
Common Mistakes
Beware plumbing line inside the house
My dad called me on the phone in a low tone, saying, “Arun, some major issue happened. Come Urgently to the second floor….”
Before this call…
Our carpenter came to install Soap Trays on the Toilet. My dad went with our carpenter.
I and my MOM were talking outside our first floor by sitting on a chair… As it’s not a major task, I didn’t go with my dad.
Paid ₹18,000 extra for a calcualtion mistake
We (me & our Dad) and our granite contractor were calculating how much we have to pay for granite and tiles laying charges.
We both took measurements 2 days before itself.
While calculating, we didn’t understand some calculations, so “we entered data based on our own understanding” and thought to discuss with our contractor later.
Staying Far Away from Construction Location
If you plan to construct your house, you may need to relocate from your current location in most cases. If that is the case, then read this article to consider my suggestion.
Never Deal with Bad People
When you do any business, I highly recommend you to avoid dealing with bad people. I know no one likes to do business with bad people, but you couldn’t avoid working with bad people due to some circumstances.
Avoid Business with Friends
I hope you already came across this line before. If not, make sure you read this post before hiring your friend/relative as a contractor. We ignored this line, and we paid for it.
Thinking Its Contractors Work
Once we assign work to contractors for specific work we usually think it’s contractor work and don’t usually monitor labours. It’s a big mistake we do.
Specially in buidling construction contract work.
Starting House Construction without Proper Plan
I’m not talking about engineer building plan.. what I mean is, make sure you know what items to place in which location before you start building.
If you follow Vastu, make sure your design engineer follow Vastu. If you doubt, it’s better to consult other Vastu consultants before you begin your house construction.
Risk of Working without Written Contract
Fortunately, when we started our house construction, we had a written contract with our Building Construction contractor. But we ignored all other contractors thinking other contractors will have less work, and we never made a written agreement with other contractors.
