1. Skipping Soil Testing and Site Inspection
Soil quality determines the type of foundation your building needs. Many homeowners skip this step to save time or money — but poor soil can cause cracks or even collapse.
✅ Solution: Always get a professional soil test and ensure your structure is designed accordingly.
2. Not Finalizing the Design Before Construction
Changing your floor plan or room layout after work starts will increase costs, waste materials, and delay the project.
✅ Solution: Finalize your architectural and structural design before excavation begins. Think about future needs like parking, balconies, or solar panel space.
3. Choosing Low-Quality Materials to Cut Costs
Cheap materials may save money upfront but lead to major problems in the long run — leaks, weak walls, poor insulation, etc.
✅ Solution: Always use branded cement, steel, and electrical components. Ask your contractor for a detailed list of materials.
4. Ignoring Proper Waterproofing
Cheap materials may save money upfront but lead to major problems in the long run — leaks, weak walls, poor insulation, etc.
✅ Solution: Always use branded cement, steel, and electrical components. Ask your contractor for a detailed list of materials.
5. Poor Supervision and Communication
Leaving everything to the contractor without regular supervision can result in miscommunication, errors, and shortcuts.
✅ Solution: Visit the site at least once a week or appoint a supervisor. Use WhatsApp or email to track decisions and updates.
