How to know Construction quality and maintenance services of the property?

Hi Buddy,

Here are some pointers on how to conduct a quality test;

• Examine the soil

Checking the quality and kind of soil on which the construction is taking place is critical. The soil types are a determining element in whether or not they can support the foundation of a tall structure. Clay-rich or black cotton soil, for example, is not suggested for tall buildings because it expands and shrinks according to moisture content. A soil test is conducted prior to any building. Request that the developer receives a copy of this test.

• Establish the architect's structure design

You can hire an expert to help you with this because it is difficult to do on your own.

This will give you an estimate of the property's strength in terms of earthquake resistance up to absolute magnitude

• Check the concrete mix

The load capacity of a structure is determined by the concrete mix strength. Developers keep an eye on the concrete mix's quality and longevity. However, preparing the mix and inspecting the concrete might be tough at times. Another option is to use ready-mix concrete

• Examine the thickness of the walls

The thickness of the walls is mentioned in the layout agreements by the developers. It is your responsibility to verify the facts on the job site. While checking, you can use a key and press against the wall. If you can readily pierce the cloth, it suggests it is of poor quality

• Ensure that all safety elements are in place

Check to see what safety precautions the developer has made, such as earthquake resistance, emergency evacuation, and fire escape. Check to see if the stairwell's size and area are enough

• Examine the quality of the paint and plastering

It is necessary to inspect the plastering on the exterior walls. The presence of an uneven fissure in the wall plastering suggests poor building quality

• Look into elevators

Elevators must be of good quality, and installation must be done appropriately, as there have been reports of elevators in the building collapsing. Check the developer's elevator licence and maintenance records. In the residential project, double-check the elevator ratio

I hope this helps:)
