Not long ago, it was not uncommon to see bullock carts on the Mumbai roads...
Today, the roads have no place for them !!
In the Reality industry, where builders took their own sweet time to deliever their projects, that too is quickly changing. With a huge drop in order booking and customers not sure if projects will be completed on time...
the builder's fraternity is now waking up to the fact that they earn a lot of brownie points if a project is completed on time.
It's a race among real estate developers to complete a floor quicker than the rest. With timely delivery of projects turning into a selling point, innovative technology is now being explored by realtors like never before.
Raheja Developers, which recently tied up with Dubai-based Arabtec Constructions, would be using a combination of various technologies for three highrise residential projects in Gurgaon and Delhi
Expected to be the tallest tower in Gurgaon, the construction of a 60-floor Raheja Revanta will involve using three major techniques, 'slip form construction', 'pre-fabricated construction' and 'dry-wall technique'.
Supertech, building an 80-floor mixed use building, Supernova, in Gurgaon, which it claims would be the tallest in the country, will be using a jump-form or slip form technology imported from Australia
Slip form construction would enable them to build a floor in just three to seven days, as against 15 days using traditional technology. "Slip form will take only one fifth of the time of what the traditional technique takes," he said.
Concrete is poured into a continuously moving form that enables continuous, non-interrupted, cast-in-place "flawless" (no joints) structures, which have superior performance characteristics versus piecewise construction using discrete form elements.
Pre-fabricated construction includes doing electrical and plumbing work at the stage of casting RCC (reinforced cement concrete) on ground, which developers are starting to use these days. It is expected to cut construction time by more than half, The disadvantage is that plumbing and electrical work can't be changed at a later stage, so they have to be very careful." Yet, prefabricated construction is gaining pace in India, with many developers going for it.
"Developers are also using steel frames to build a structure and then to do the interiors with prefabricated structures,"
A dry-wall technique involves constructing interior walls, ceilings and floors through plastered or microfibre board, joined during the installation.
Apart from offering sound control, dry-wall construction can also make an interior space fire-resistant and damp-resistant. A dry-wall technique is easier, faster and more economical compared to the traditional technique of hand plastering.
Innovative construction techniques would add 10 per cent to construction cost, however, it definitely ensures quick completion of projects," he said.

Developers in India are importing advanced construction technology in order to maintain a competitive edge.
The Developers of TMC, one of India's largest projects in Karjat, Thane has been able to keep rates extremely economical by using dry wall technology from Australia
Jerry Rao's VBHC, an affordable housing project in Bangalore, is also focusing on using technology to build affordable homes at Rs four to six lakh, while promising delivery within six months from starting construction".
We believes that the use of technology will only grow in the coming years, letting developers complete projects quickly while not compromising on strength and long term durability.
