Quality, a step by step process!

As the need and want of a common man changes on a continuous basis, his prime focuses on his life, his possessions changes. More than quantity he prefers quality. Quality improvement is not a one-time effort; it is an ongoing process that lasts for life of an enterprise. As it is a lifetime aspect for an enterprise, think about a customer who is buying an asset for his life, a flat or a villa, the look for quality here is unique. So it’s a prime duty for us as a real estate builder to deliver the project with utmost quality.

Nothing can be achieved without proper flow of process and monitoring. We at Vijay Raja have a clear work flow with quality check at every stage of the construction to give the customer a dream home which will give him a delight. We respect the needs and wants of the customer, his dream, his money and everything he puts in to get his dream home.

We value the payment made by the customer in a great deal. Thus we ensure the quality of work done at each stage and then we release the payment to the contractors and workers. The protocol will not allow us to proceed without the green signal from the QC team on the execution part. So these will cutoff the wrong execution by the contractor’s side and easily we can find out even if a brick alignment changes. This work flow ensures no delay in planning, execution of the plan and we have special check list to get the desired quality in each stage of the project. The check list will define the materials to be used in each process and the method which we deploy.

Cube Test is the method in which we check the maximum strength of the concrete that we use. We take a sample of the concrete that we use and fill it in a cube and this will go for casting & compaction for 7 – 28 days and the strength of the material is checked in saturated and surface dry condition.

In Slump Cone Test we measure the consistency of fresh concrete before it sets which is carried out using a slump cone. The concrete mix is taken in the slump cone and tapped in the floor. The slumped concrete takes various shapes and according to the profile of slumped concrete, the slump is termed as true slump, shear slump or collapse slump. If a shear or collapse slump is achieved, a fresh sample should be taken and the test is repeated.

To show more importance to every ounce of the house the checklist helps us to achieve great results. We work by the checklist to pay extremely diminutive attention to each and every detail of the building as each step counts. Our checklists allow us to be more effective at taking care of our finest product. We provide superior workmanship through the checklist and achieve excellence in the eyes of the customer.

The checklist that we follow covers all the aspects of building a house. Step by step analysis of each stage starting from footing in which the payment of the stage will be released only when all the aspects in the check list is fulfilled. Then comes the column work which has various levels of checking process that has to be satisfied by the contractor. Followed by the Plinth beam and RCC work, the full checklist is given a detailed inspection. The block work and plastering work is made sure that is completed and the cheque is processed. Following this tile work is done. Once every detail of the house is done Painting is done with immense care that even a spilled drop on the floor is cleaned once the work is done.

In Vijay Raja, the Quality check is not done at the end of the project rather it will be done in each & every stage of construction.
Checklist in real estate sector is a differentiator that improves our brand quality. The minute importance that we show on every detailing of the house shows the perseverance of Vijay Raja.

Independent house vs. Apartment life

In the olden days, it was common for everyone to have an independent house that is just theirs. Plenty of rooms, garden, playing area - there was a small world inside their house. Over time, with the increase of civilization of urban areas, we have slowly shifted to apartments that are for many to share a single space. Although there are many advantages to the apartment life, there are a few things different that one might find in an independent house.

Privacy

When we speak about independent bungalows, we automatically think of the privacy a family rejoices. There is limited or no need to keep voices low while laughing as the next door neighbor is at least 5 feet away, given our rules and regulation.

Home garden

Love garden? Independent houses allows us to have a beautiful garden that is ours and ours only. With birds chirping and butterflies everywhere, garden is a great spot for families to unwind after a long day. What could be more fulfilling than having a garden all for yourself?

Pets

Animal lover? Then independent bungalows are a perfect place. Not because you have a lot of privacy, it is because the pets can stroll around the backyard without trespassing anyone’s property. They have the complete freedom to play around.

Population

With the ever growing population, it is without a choice people move to apartments. This is particularly the case as the increase in population has led to increasing in real estate price. Find an apartment in a suitable locality is far easier and cheaper.

Neighbours

In the day and age where we are always glued to smartphones and other electronic devices, apartments are one of the great ways to have human contact. Their constant presence and voice bring us back to realities of life that is sometimes devoid when we have our heads bent down. Sharing conversations in the morning, discussing political issues and sharing any social burden of the locality, apartment life sure is a fun way of life.

Festivities

We Indians love to share and celebrate with people. That is probably one of the reasons why we have so many festivals. In an apartment, the celebration quadruples, and everyone comes together to celebrate. This takes away from the stress of life that we lead and makes every occasion a memorable one. Be it Diwali, Christmas, New Year, every function could be celebrated with a large crowd.
Although it may seem there is a competition between the independent house and apartment, there is always the personal choice that comes into play. One must always keep in mind their own requirements and preferences before making any real estate purchase.
