[21st December] My Duplex House Construction Status

Work is in full swing for last one month. I have been traveling (Domestic & International) for couple of weeks and hence the time looked very short. Made sure to visit the site every week-end, and discussed progress of work with Architect and Engineer.
By mid-November, the foundation work & pillar work in progress.
























  • Around first week of December the steel rods were rooted from the pits.
  • Temporary electric connection was taken and the submersible-motor for borewell got fixed.
  • By third week of December, the stone work along the boundary and compound wall was done.
  • The water-sump is coming up in the front area (near stair-case). This Saturday the concrete mixture for the same was poured in to the structure of steel rods.

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...

[My NH Travelogue: Trip to Madurai, Kutralam, Tenkasi, Papanasam falls, Srivilliputhur]

A view from my Dashboard… {Own driving: Bangalore – Hosur – Krishnagiri – Dharmapuri – Salem – Namakkal – Musiri – Kulithalai – Trichy} [ Hired Vehicle: Trichy – Madurai – Krishnapuram – Kutralam] 5:40 am: Started from Jayanagar, Bangalore (after visiting Ganesha temple @ RV Road) NH-7 feels like hot-knife-on-butter! Except for a small stretch of bad road-yet to be done to NH levels - between Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri. Zooming past Electronic city, Hosur, Krishnagiri we reached Dharmapuri ( 133 Kms ) at 8:15 am . Filled the petrol-tank (few Rupees cheaper than Bangalore...dude) and decided to fill our stomach with delicious Idly, Dosa, Vada and stopped at my favourite spot "Sri Saravana Bhavan Hotel" near main junction, Dharmapuri. 9:05 am: Drove via Salem ( 196 kms - 10:20 am ) reached Namakkal ( 246 kms ) at 11:20 am Visited the temples of Hanuman and Narasimha swamy... ( The cave sculptures were engraved by GUNSILA Adhiyan Kula, King during 7th Century) More... 12:20 ...
