Once the plot has been shortlisted you have to verify the origin of property title and the legal ownership of the plot. The recommended duration to verify all documents related to the property is that 50 years.

Soil is much essential part of the construction process. Soil test results help in reducing the excess by deciding the exact amount of strength the structure of your house needs and also saves your house from any damage due to calculation errors.
Electric and water connection:-
The availability of water and electricity is crucial for any home construction work. The first thing to do at the construction site is to secure a source of water and get the power connection. In regard to a water source, you could consider a bore well if budget and clearance from local authorities permit. Otherwise, you could always consider other sources like a water connection. If there is no electric pole near your plot then you need to apply for a separate pole for your plot.
