NRI home construction in Pune: a practical guide for NRIs

1. The brief, on a video call

The first brief is a 90-minute video call. We walk the site on a phone camera, you see it, you ask questions, we sketch the plan in real time. Three calls later, the plan is in.

The plan is the same whether you're in Pune or in Boston.

2. The site visit, with a local friend

If you have a local friend or relative who can visit the site once a month, that's the ideal. We share a site report, with photographs, after every visit. If not, our site engineer visits and we share the report and photographs with you directly.

3. The weekly update, on WhatsApp

Every Friday, you get a WhatsApp update: a photograph, a one-line status, and the next milestone. The full milestone schedule is in the contract.

4. The video walkthrough, on every milestone

On every milestone (plinth, ground floor slab, first floor slab, brickwork complete, plaster complete, finish handover), we do a video walkthrough on a call. You see the progress, you ask questions, we answer them in real time.

5. The handover, on your visit

The handover is timed to coincide with one of your visits. We complete the final snag list, the deep clean, and the handover file in person.

FAQ

Real questions, real answers.

Can I build a home in Pune from the US?

+

Yes, with a builder that has a strong weekly update process. We have built homes for NRIs in the US, UK and Gulf - the key is the weekly WhatsApp update, the video walkthrough on every milestone, and a clear handover file.

How often do I need to be in Pune during construction?

+

Zero times during construction, if you have a local friend or relative. One time, for the handover (2–3 days).

What is the typical NRI brief?

+

A premium-villa brief in Kharadi, Hinjewadi, Aundh, Magarpatta or the Baramati farmhouse belt. 2,500–5,000 sqft BUA, with full interiors and a sit-out.
