Rock, Footings and a Foundation Still Going Up

This Bangalore house is still being built. We are showing it now, because a builder who only shows finished homes is showing you the easy half.

The Ground Fought Back

Excavated pit with broken rock

The digging hit a lot of rock. You can see the broken boulders coming out of the pit, and how deep the cut had to go.

Rock is the most common reason a house construction cost in Bangalore goes up after work starts. You cannot see it from the road. So we photograph it, and we show it.

Steel First, Concrete After

Column cages over concreted footing trench

Steel mats were laid in the open pits and photographed before any concrete went in. Column cages were then tied, propped straight, and set into the footings.

An underground sump was also built inside the same pit, with the water pipes cast into the walls before any soil was filled back.

  • Soil test done before foundation work started
  • Footing steel photographed in the open pit
  • Underground sump built and recorded before backfill
  • Column cages propped and checked before the pour

We will visit your plot in Bangalore, check the ground, and tell you honestly what it will take to build on it.
