House Construction

House construction in Agra

We build houses the way you would expect from people who spend the rest of their time repairing the ones that were built badly.

What We Bring To It

Thirty-five years of opening up other people’s buildings

Repair work teaches you things that construction work alone does not. Spend three decades cutting into slabs and walls to find out where water got in, and you build a list of the mistakes that keep recurring: the parapet junction nobody detailed, the bathroom that was never properly tanked, the terrace laid without a fall so water stands on it, the pipe passing through a slab with nothing sealed around it, the sunshade cast without a drip groove.

None of these cost much to get right while the building is going up. All of them are expensive and disruptive to fix afterwards — and every one of them is something we have been called out to repair on somebody else’s work.

So when we build, waterproofing and thermal detailing are not a trade that turns up near the end. They are part of the sequence from the start.

Our Method

How a project runs

01

Site visit and brief

We look at the plot, talk through what you want, and are honest about what the site and the budget will and will not allow.

02

Scope and estimate

A written scope and an itemised estimate, so you can see what is included and what is not. Vagueness at this stage is where disputes come from later.

03

Construction, properly sequenced

Structure, then the detailing that protects it. Waterproofing at slabs, terraces and wet areas is done at the right point in the programme, not retro-fitted at the end.

04

Quality checks as we go

Checks happen while things are still accessible. Once a slab is finished, an error underneath it is expensive to find.

05

Handover

We walk the finished building with you and tell you what needs maintaining and when.

Also Available

Structural and repair work

Alongside new construction we take on structural and civil repair work — the kind of job where something has cracked, settled, spalled or started leaking and needs proper diagnosis before anyone starts patching.

If you are not sure whether what you are looking at is cosmetic or structural, that is exactly the sort of thing the free inspection is for.

Other things we treat

Terrace & roof waterproofing

Built in from the start on our projects, and available on any existing building.

Roof heat proofing

Designed in on new builds rather than added as an afterthought.

Bathroom waterproofing

Tanked correctly during construction, so it never becomes a repair job.
