Quality of construction in hi5 homes

A home is for a lifetime unless we purchase it as an investment option. In India home buying is like a dream come true with thousands of sentiments attached to a new home and a new lifestyle. Yet simultaneously its also true that real estate is one of the best sectors to churn out money from and this generally leads to unscrupulous developers duping innocent home buyers.

Hence it becomes absolutely essential that while buying a home an individual buys the concept and reputation of a builder as well. There are Builders in Hyderabad who have come out with techniques to ensure that there is no compromise on the quality while the construction progress slackens in the downturn. For instance Aliens Group has introduced a tower crane at the construction site which will help to fulfill the claim of the builder to build one of the tallest Residential Projects in Hyderabad. They have also introduced a raft foundation concept which will enable to speed up the construction process without compromising on the quality. Raft Foundation

Isolated footing is used as individual foundation helps in transferring the load to the earth however limits load and cannot withstand extra load as there are no links between individual footings. Raft foundation is a mass footing/foundation wherein a single mass takes the load distributes uniformly over a large area and to the earth. This builds stronger foundation and increases the life of the building.

The structure is built on RCC (Reinforced cement concrete) framework which gives well defined requirements during any eventuality.

Normal building consist of columns which is designed on concrete frame structure cannot withstand heavy wind and earthquake force along with the dead load (building weight) and live load (people living in the building and things being used by them) which are acting continuously on it where as sheer wall in a building uniformly disperses wind pressure and get strong grip to the ground thus resist any external force. Sheer wall helps in uniformly distributing wind and light at all direction hence benefiting people living in any part of the building with proper ventilation and light.
