#Kerala House Construction-Replies to your queries

SPECIFIC POSITION FOR HOUSE IN 8 CENTS LAND

QUOTE

Anonymous   has left a new comment on your post "Vasthu compliance":

I have only 8 cents of land, Is it necessary to define a position for house by vasthu specialist?

My reply

Even in 8 cents or even lesser area plot,a Vasthu expert can  suggest you an ideal location for house

CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR 3 CENTS OR LESS PLOT

QUOTE

Dear Mr. Thomas,

I am Saju, I need to construct a new home at Amaravila ( TVM Dist. ) which is comes under Panchayath. My property belongs to only 3 cent. a panchayath road passing in front of this property & it cover almost 15 mtrs one side. I need to construct a new home by demolishing the old & I have the following doubts.

1. If i need to give a clearance of 3M from this panchayath road to the basement of new one ( If provided i have lost a huge area, since a well also comes under this property at the other side )

2. If i have obtain any consideration for this from panchayath or any other authority..

Please reply to this,

My reply

If your land has area 3 cents or less there are relaxations in building rule conditions applicable to you

It will be better if you go and meet concerned persons in the Panchayath with your land documents and check up exact clearances applicable to you as in addition to KBR provisions,there can be local restrictions imposed by local authority.

USING OLD WOOD FROM OLD BUILDING FOR NEW HOUSE CONSTRUCTION

QUOTE

Hi Sir,

This is shafeeque from Kannur. I'm working in IT company at Pune. We plan to demolish our old home and would like to build new one. Our home designed with plenty of wooden material and its having lots of wooden for "machu" . What is your opinion about using old wooden material instead of purchasing new one ( as per people old wooden material are very strong). and what type of material we can use from my old home.

Also can you construct home at Kannur. If yes please let me know your contact number so that i can contact you

My reply

Wood used in old house will have to be physically checked to see whether it can be re used.Over a period of time any wood looses its quality and start deteriorate.If the wood used was of extremely good quality,it may last more than other wood

As Per Vasthu,while building a new house no part of old house should be used..We can design your house in any part of the world.Taking up construction directly by us will have to be decided based on merit of each case.In cases where we do not take up direct execution of construction,we may act as designers/consultants.

BUILDING TOP FLOOR ABOVE 40 YEAR OLD HOUSE

QUOTE

Can u please advise if it is possible to take an additional room with bath  approx. 13x 13 and 5 x 5 on the first  floor of an old hose of 40 years with minimum cost ,Rs. 80000/=.using hollow  bricks and cheap materials for roof and doors . and if you have any office at Trivandrum

My reply.

First of all it is not advisable to construct first floor of a 40 year old house without checking structural stability of the building by a qualified and experienced Engineer.

Any meaningful cost calculation can be done only after preparing a plan of portion to be extended.Once we have the Basic Plan of the building ready, we can calculate cost using Engineering Estimate method.Again building on old existing building will call for so many unexpected cost elements.Without visiting site,I cannot comment on feasibility of the work.

We have our office only at Cochin .But we can handle work anywhere based at Cochin and hence no need for an office at Trivandrum
