As per article published on legalserviceindia.com says that “Self Redevelopment society should form vigilance committee who will inspect the project on quarterly basis and submit the report about project quality and progress” The vigilance committee has two society members and a single member from a financial institute. This vigilance committee is responsible to check construction quality quarterly. But the most important self redevelopment project checking committee doesn’t have a technical expert from the construction field. Also, most of the committee members are working professionals. So very hard for them to inspect the self redevelopment project on a daily or regular basis.
Because of the above all restrictions, it’s impossible for to vigilance committee to handle all construction quality issues single-handedly without professional help and provided a documented progress report about construction quality. Now which type of construction consultant can help vigilance committee to check and provide a proper report about construction quality? Simple answer: PMC, Architect, RCC Consultant, Home Inspection Consultant, MEP Consultant, etc. can help the vigilance committee to check construction quality of self redevelopment project.
Home Inspection VS Other Consultant
Like home inspection consultant other consultant has their specialized jobs during various construction stages. RCC consultant will look into the strength and life span of the project. The architect will look into the planning and atheistic view of the projects. PMC will look into the progress, quality, and cost management of the projects. As of date, there is not a single specialized construction consultant other than a home inspection consultant who examines all areas, systems, and components of self redevelopment projects using advanced tools and technologies. Also, the home inspection consultant provides a well-documented home inspection report with a proper photo of every snag or defect.
Why Home Inspection
As mentioned above the vigilance committee doesn’t have technical expertise in how to check the construction quality. The home inspection service can be beneficial in terms of check the improper and incomplete work done by contractors at various stages of construction. The home inspection consultant will do the 360° checkup of the self redevelopment project during various stages of construction and before the handover of the project. In PropCheckup we used the latest tools and technologies to do the comprehensive home inspection. We Use a Thermal camera to detect leakage or seepage issues, overheated circuits, and sockets, etc. At PropCheckup we used a socket tester and voltage meter to check the proper functioning electric system and components. At PropCheckup we have an expert team of civil engineers, plumbing expert, electric expert, and other required expert
Home Inspection Benefits To Self Redevelopment Societies
RERA 14.3 Clause
Under RERA society is promoter/owner in the self redevelopment project. As per RERA 14.3 clause the promoter is responsible to repair any defects for 5 years after possession or OC. And after 30 days if promoter fails to repair the defect from when the homeowner notified the defects to the promoter, he has to compensate the home buyer for the repair cost. This cost has to be paid by society in case of self redevelopment. If society is opting out of home inspection service, they can have the proper data or report about pre-possession defects in respective home buyers flat. Society can get all defects rectified from the respective contractors mention in home inspection reports before handing over possession of flats to the respective owner. The home inspection report also helps the vigilance committee to know which contractor has done improper or incomplete work, so they can retain some money for the next five years.
Defect Free Home Possession
Any society goes to redevelopment because the old home is bad in conditions and not safe for living. And after redevelopment, the existing homeowner wants their flats free from defects or issues like leakages, damaged things, non-functional electrical system, improper work, etc. The homeowner can only get their home defect-free by doing a pre- possession home inspection by a home inspection consultant like PropCheckup. If any existing society member found issues any there brand new flat, they will raise the issue with vigilance committee only. If the vigilance committee has a home inspection report they can get all defects repair from the respective contractor before possession. This also helps the vigilance committee to minimize the post possession complaints from the existing home owner.
