How to compare new residential projects
A simple checklist for comparing builders, layouts, carpet area and possession timelines.
Start with carpet area, not super built-up
Ask every developer for the RERA carpet area of each unit. It is the only area measure that is directly comparable between projects.
Check the developer's track record
Look at completed projects, delivery history against promised dates and visit at least one occupied project if possible.
Compare the all-in cost
Base price is only one part. Add car parking, clubhouse, maintenance deposit, GST, stamp duty and registration to compare like for like.
Understand the possession timeline
Verify the RERA-registered completion date, not just the marketing date, and ask about the construction stage today.
