Sterling projects are usually at good location and premium priced. Quality I would stay is relatively better than many tier 2 builders. But when it comes to sticking to schedule, they are not even comparable to tier 2. Assume at least 2-3 years of delay. You ask any project of them, and resident they can confirm.
Some other points -
1) They do small small changes to save money, giving some reason(architectural, structural, .) to save money, infact their layout and elevation plan will show all that, I used to think that all that architectural plans and structural decisions are taken before finalizing layout and elevation plans.
2) They have some issues with SBI bank, most of the time they force you to LIC. There property though always approved by SBI, but they always force you to go with LIC if you want to book, at least in later booking.
3) Delay is the worst thing with them, they cant even come up with good reasons for delay. Some of the common reasons they give like - labour shortage, sand strike, material procurement . common you are running a business and these are the risks you have to mitigate and manage, how could you pass all the results of your worst management practices to owners.
4) They will tell you upfront that in sales document they will not change even a single word.
I am not saying that you should not go with this builder, but be prepared for good delays.

We disagree. Our projects are competitively priced and quality is on par with the best in the industry. We engage accomplished Architect and Construction firms and do not cut corners to save money. We do not compel or force a client to take a housing loan from LIC. We have no issues with SBI except the delay in home loan approvals in the initial stages of the project. Our preferred bankers would generally be the bankers of the project but the choice of the institution for a home loan is entirely at the discretion of the purchaser. Agreements are normally standardized but there is always room for minor changes. The fact remains that the construction industry has seen multiple sand supply/truck strikes and labor shortages in the last 20 months which has been reported in newspapers/media. Due to this, delays in deliveries is also across most projects by other developers too.
We do agree that the project you are probably referring to is delayed. One of the blocks completed it’s foundation in Sept 2011 and another in Nov 2011.
The buildings are basement+ 9 uppers floors. In this instance 34 – 36 months have passed since foundation and both the blocks are nearing completion. Hence your statement assuming 2-3 years of delay in our delivery is incorrect. Over the last 30 years we have delivered over 85% of our projects on time, some even ahead of schedule. Those that have been delayed have been compensated.
We request you to seek an appointment with us at our City Office or send us your contact details. We will be happy to clarify, if you have any further doubts.
