Things to Check Before Starting Your Construction Project

By Shyam Constructions

Starting a construction project—whether it’s your dream home, office, or a commercial building—is a major investment and commitment. One mistake at the beginning can lead to delays, budget overruns, or even legal trouble down the line. That’s why it’s crucial to get everything right before the first brick is laid.

At Shyam Constructions, we guide our clients through every step of the journey. Here’s a detailed checklist of key things you should verify before starting your construction project:

✅ 1. Clear Land Title and Legal Approvals

Before any construction, ensure that the land is legally owned, free from disputes, and has clear title deeds.
Also, check for:

  • Land use zoning (residential, commercial, agricultural)

  • Municipal approvals

  • Environmental clearances (if applicable)

  • No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from local authorities

Tip: Always consult with a lawyer and your builder to ensure the land is construction-ready.


✅ 2. Soil Testing and Site Survey

The quality of the soil plays a crucial role in determining the type of foundation required. A professional soil test reveals the bearing capacity, moisture content, and risk of erosion.

A site survey will also help confirm:

  • Property boundaries

  • Slope and topography

  • Drainage requirements


✅ 3. Budget Planning and Cost Estimation

Set a realistic budget that includes:

  • Construction costs

  • Architect/consultant fees

  • Approvals & legal costs

  • Material & labor expenses

  • Contingency buffer (10–15%)

At Shyam Constructions, we provide transparent cost estimates upfront so there are no surprises later.


✅ 4. Detailed Architectural & Structural Design

Work with a licensed architect to prepare:

  • Site layout

  • Floor plans

  • Elevations

  • 3D designs (if needed)

Also consult a structural engineer to ensure your design meets safety norms and local building codes.

Remember: Poor planning on paper leads to costly changes on site.


✅ 5. Select the Right Contractor/Builder

Choosing a reliable builder is the most important decision. Look for:

  • Proven track record

  • On-time project delivery

  • Quality construction practices

  • Proper licenses and insurance

  • Transparency in pricing and contracts

Shyam Constructions has been trusted by families and businesses across Noida and NCR for over a decade.


✅ 6. Construction Agreement and Timeline

Have a written agreement that clearly mentions:

  • Project scope

  • Payment schedule

  • Material quality and brands to be used

  • Completion timelines

  • Penalties for delay (if applicable)

This document protects both the builder and the client.


✅ 7. Utility Planning: Water, Electricity, Drainage

Ensure you’ve planned for:

  • Water source (borewell, municipal)

  • Electrical connections and load requirements

  • Proper drainage and sewage planning

Lack of utility planning can lead to expensive post-construction modifications.


✅ 8. Safety and Insurance Coverage

Make sure your project has:

  • Safety gear for workers

  • Basic site security

  • Construction insurance for damages, fire, or accidents

Shyam Constructions ensures full compliance with health and safety norms.

Building is a once-in-a-lifetime event for most people. By checking these factors in advance, you save time, money, and stress during your project.
