Sanghvi Heights - False promises

Some of the folks who have booked homes in Sanghvi Heights went to the builder's office a couple of days ago. They were fobbed off with more excuses and promises. Excuses that there are problems with permission and resettlement. Promise that the possession will happen mid-next year. The promise looks completely hollow and empty, just like Sanghvi Heights itself.
There is plan to pay the builder a visit again soon. If you are interested, please get in touch with me - email in the side panel.
There are major worries
1. The possession was supposed to be given in June 2009. Till data even the structure (bricks and columns) are not done. How will the construction be complete next year
2. The builder is keen to build 20 floors even though he has permission for 10. Now, if he gives possession for flats upto floor 10 and then keeps building the flats above, do we have to suffer the dirt, noise and general nuisance of the building work.
3. There is a good chance that in a rush to complete the building, the fittings and finishing will be incomplete and of a poor quality.
4. 3 years the building has been standing there, getting exposed to the elements without any real maintenance. I am sure there has been structural deterioration.

Construction update - Jan end 2009

Credit crunch seems to be affecting Sanghvi Heights work.

Went there this Saturday to have a dekko. Very few construction workers on site. Hardly any machinery. The only real work going on was doing the brickwork on the fully constructed floors. I think they were doing it on floor 4.

8th floor slab is complete, and they are building pillars to support the 9th floor.

Going by the current rate, I would expect 2 more years for the building to be completed. Ho hum. More troubles for us.

They still keep us sending payment requests for work that has yet to start. Such brazenness!
