Builder with the best record of completing the project on time and delivering it as promised is the one a homebuyer should be looking at.

The price will be accessible on the pocket, and the home buyer will not have to wait forever to get the occupancy of the unit.
It is advised to the homebuyers to make sure that the project they are opting for is registered with the RERA of your state.
