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.
✅ Final Thoughts
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.
