Folks, Finally the good news is here to announce. I have started construction of my dream house in Bangalore. It all started early this year (2008)! I visited my daughter's friend Janani on a weekend and shared her father's experience in building their duplex house in a 30x40 sqft plot. I liked the house especially the sun-light passing staircase. That's when I decided to go for my own house. Luckily I bought a 30x40 plot near Electronic City - Singasandra village in the year 2003 for a throw-away price (now). After 4+ years the value of the land in those areas have skyrocketted - almost 7 times. Then I got in touch with my architect - referred by Janani's father - in M arch 2008. Went through couple of round of discussions on the plan, saw some basic samples and then confirmed his services in April 2008 by paying a decent advance. (The cost the architect's charge is based on the building costs - but I negotiated for a fixed cost as the actual costs will vary...
