Pathetic construction quality

Review On Mahaveer Group, Bangalore

Reddy Structures(Mahaveer Builders) is a firm with complete disregard for quality. I own a flat in one of their projects, Mahaveer Laurel, and from the time owners have occupied the flats here, there has been a series of issues, most of which have not been resolved satisfactorily. Half the flats on the top floor and corridors on top floor had serious seepage issues. Over the past 9 months or so, despite the builder trying to fix it, the problems persist, and every time there is a severe rain, the seepage recurs. Beyond that, there was no reason to have taken so long to fix the seepage issues, it's been inordinately delayed because the builder either refuses to pay the contractor on time, or has not made materials available. More likely, the truth is the builder is only concerned about saving on the additional costs caused by his own shoddy work. That apart, many flats have dampness near skirtings that persist, because the plastering work has been done badly. A few days back, the glass railing in the balcony of one of the residents broke and fell down on its own. Fortunately, nobody was walking below - small mercies.

They are masters in delaying tactics - giving excuses on one pretext of the other. About the only positive thing that I can say about them is that at least they are available most of the time when you try to reach them and act courteous. So low is the bar when it comes to expectations from such builders that even that seems to make some people happy.

What makes this is even more galling is that this particular project was sold as a "premium" and "eco friendly" project. If this is the quality of a premium project, I shudder to think how bad their non-premium projects would be.

I strongly advise against opting for any of their projects. Even if it costs a bit more, you are better off going with a more reputed builder who cares about the quality of work they do.
