This builder is a clown, and a dishonest clown. Their Club Meadows land deal had not settled when they were selling the flats, and we had to deal with a relocation and orientation change of the building site. Their sales guy tried to change the pricing after the advance was paid claiming some bogus reasons.No employee sticks there for more 12 months and every call is handled by some new employee who has to deal with the mismanagement that happened before.
In the Bannergatta project the sales guy talked of acquisition of 35 acres all around and cleanup of the neighboring land, and the marketing material talked about walkway around the lake. Now nobody talks about any cleanup and some small shops are popping up around including roadside bars, which will become permanent if HN does not move on some further acquisitions. We are just praying for nice construction and the architectural beauty to come through - praying because when you go to the site you see a whole bunch of sub-contracted work going on. If construction is managed the way they run everything else - God help us.
We signed up nearly 3 years back, the project was due for completion this year.the builder protected himself from any penalties by delaying the actual agreement signing for 18 months and then set documented dates from that timeline.  I have bought from Sobha and Century and never had to deal with so much crap.  Can't wait to get to the end of this dealing with HN and get possession.  If you want to sleep well, buy a completed HN house if you can afford it or go to another builder.
= update from Jan'16
The buildings are nearing completion and expect possession in 3-6 months.
The apartments have exposed Red Sprinkler pipes in every room. This something every luxury apartment plans and hides away. These horrible eyesore is in every room - thick 4 inch pipes protruding everywhere. The Builder says get false ceilings put to cover this.
In addition to the unplanned cost of many lakhs, this also takes away the whole advantage of the high ceilings as one would have to give up a foot and half of head room and end up with a standard height ceiling. Luxury apartment sucks.
Club house has yet to start construction - 5 years after project's commencement.
This builder should be avoided like the plague.
