How do I check construction quality during a site visit?

Look for cracks, damp patches, uneven walls, poor plastering and signs of water seepage inside and outside the building.

Inspect the layout, natural light, ventilation, flooring, doors, windows, kitchen, bathrooms and all fittings.

Look for damp walls, peeling paint, mould, water stains and moisture around ceilings, corners and bathrooms.

Test taps, drainage and water pressure, and check switches, sockets, lights and the power backup system.

Verify the RERA registration, Title Deed, approved plans, Occupancy or Completion Certificate and other required approvals.

Yes. Inspect lifts, lobbies, parking, security and recreational facilities to understand how well the project is maintained.

Ask about possession timelines, maintenance charges, power backup, water supply, approvals and any additional costs.

Check connectivity, nearby schools, hospitals, markets, traffic, safety, and visit the area at different times of the day.

Avoid rushing the inspection, skipping document checks or relying only on brochures without seeing the property in person.
