A few days back, I shared a pressure issue on 3rd floor problem. I thought that complaint got solved to some extent. Nope… I was wrong. When I met my 3rd-floor tenant Zyan, he complained about the same issue: “bro, sometimes water almost stops coming into the toilet, and I never faced such an issue with kitchen taps.” After I heard that complaint again, I called our plumber to check the issue....
Although this is our (me and my dad) second construction experience.. We are still making a silly mistake. After learning from our mistakes, we laugh by murmuring to each other. Today, the MS Work contractor noticed one such mistake while our second building’s main gate installation work was going on. Here’s our conversation with him: MS guy: Sir, what’s the price for SS work? (which is already done on our building)...
I went to the tiles shop to know the status of my tiles order for our old building reconstruction work. While speaking to the tiles shop owner, he said, “Sir, there is half constructed building for sale near your house. Would you be interested in purchasing? If your not, then if anyone is interested, let them know about that building.” I said, “OK.” I asked why the half-constructed building was for sale....
We dug Road (Mud road) to put the cable from the Electric pole to our House. Our area Water Men came and saw and said - Sir; you are digging Road - did you took permission from authority? Or you will have to pay the penalty. I said Nothing. I kept quite smiling at him. After some time, he told you don’t worry.. you can do your work. No one will come and complain about it....
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. When the contractor came to our house - we asked how much we were supposed to pay like that…....

Want to relocate Before the Beginning of your House Construction?

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. For example, you got less quote from some bad contractor and a little higher pricing quote from another good contractor. In such cases, you may choose bad contractor/people to do business with....
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. Here’s our story. One of our dad’s friend who is helping in our construction process recommended his brother for Electrical Contract work in our building. Without thinking anything we assigned the electrical contract to this guy and he offered better pricing compared to any other contractors....
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. It’s easy to fix in the design phase than changing the design during/after the construction phase. Engineers follow standard design protocols, and they don’t consider your requirements during the design process....
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. That’s a Big mistake we did. We never had a single issue with our building contractor. We mentioned all the stuff covered under that contract and at what price he will do....
