Yes, 100%! You don't have to spend your weekends running around government offices. Our in-house registered architect prepares the official submission blueprints according to Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules (TNCDBR).

We submit the files, coordinate site inspections with the town planning officers, and secure your approved sanction order, plan seal, and new electricity (TANGEDCO) connection guidance.

Never pay all upfront! We protect your hard-earned money with a stage-by-stage milestone system. You only pay after you personally inspect and approve each stage of work:

• Booking & Soil Test: 5%
• Foundation & Plinth Beam Completion: 15%
• Ground Floor Columns & Brickwork: 15%
• Ground Floor Roof Slab Concreting: 20%
• First Floor Slab & Plastering: 20%
• Flooring, Plumbing & Electrical Wiring: 15%
• Painting & Final Key Handover: 10%

Your agreed price is 100% fixed. Once our contract is signed, any rise in steel, cement, or sand prices in the open market is absorbed entirely by us. You will never be asked to pay an extra single rupee because market rates went up.

We only use trusted, certified first-grade brands. Every client receives a signed Materials Specification Sheet that lists every item:

• Steel: Tata Tiscon / JSW Neosteel / Sail Fe550D primary TMT bars.
• Cement: UltraTech / Coromandel / Ramco 53-grade & 43-grade PPC.
• Electrical: Polycab / Kundan flame-retardant wiring, Legrand / Schneider modular switches.
• Plumbing: Ashirvad / Finolex CPVC & UPVC pressure-tested pipes.
• Paints: Asian Paints Royale (Interior) and Apex WeatherProof (Exterior).

For a standard 1,500 to 2,500 sq.ft duplex house, construction typically takes 5.5 to 7.5 months from the day soil is broken to key handover.

We provide a month-by-month progress calendar right at the start. If there are heavy monsoons, we plan internal plastering and electrical work in advance so the schedule is not interrupted.

Yes, absolutely. Almost every home we design in Thiruvallur and Chennai follows authentic Vastu Shastra:

• Kitchen strictly in Southeast (Agni corner) or Northwest.
• Master Bedroom in Southwest (Kubera corner) for family stability and health.
• Pooja room in Northeast (Eesanya corner) or East.
• Main entrance positioned in positive Pada zones.
• Septic tank and water sump placed in safe non-conflicting zones.

We back our commitments with a written guarantee in the legal contract. Unless delayed by an extreme natural calamity or government lockdown, we pay a weekly penalty of ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 directly to you for every week of delay beyond the agreed completion date.

We stand firmly by the quality of our craftsmanship:

• 10-Year Structural Warranty: Covers foundation stability, concrete columns, beams, and roof slab integrity.
• 5-Year Waterproofing Warranty: Free repair if any dampness or leak appears on terrace slabs or bathrooms.
• 1-Year Free Maintenance: Our plumbing and electrical technicians visit free of charge to adjust switches, taps, or door locks as the new house settles in.

Water leakage is the #1 complaint with careless contractors. Here is how we prevent it permanently:

1. We apply a 2-coat chemical polymer waterproofing membrane (Fosroc / Dr. Fixit) directly on the concrete slab.
2. We conduct a mandatory 48-hour water ponding test to verify zero seepage.
3. We lay cool roof weathering tiles with neat 1:40 slope towards oversized rainwater outlet pipes so water never pools on the roof.

Yes, anytime! It is your home, and we encourage you to visit. Our site engineer will gladly show you around and explain what is being built.

If you live outside Thiruvallur or work in Chennai/overseas, we send you high-resolution weekly photo and video updates on WhatsApp so you can see your house take shape from the comfort of your phone.

Yes. We have worked with all leading nationalized and private banks including SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Canara Bank, and Axis Bank.

We provide the detailed cost estimation report, architect drawings, building agreement, and engineer stage-completion valuation certificates needed for hassle-free loan disbursements.

Local unorganized contractors often quote low verbal rates, but midway through the build, prices increase, deadlines drag on for years, and there is zero warranty once they walk away.

With Garuda Construction, you get trained architects and structural engineers, a legally binding stamp-paper contract, fixed pricing, digital weekly progress tracking, and an official 10-year structural warranty.

Yes! We have an in-house interior carpentry team. We make custom 100% waterproof BWP (Boiling Water Proof) marine plywood modular kitchens, acrylic/laminate shutters, bedroom wardrobes, TV wall units, and POP/Gypsum false ceilings with warm LED strip lighting.

Doing interiors with the same team that builds your house saves you money, avoids plumbing/electrical conflicts, and ensures key handover is 100% move-in ready.
