We as building industry professionals have to engage & participate in a conversation with the other experts & stakeholders of the industry in order to achieve this. We wish to put forth our thoughts in the hope that it is critically analysed and appreciated. 

Cost can be cut in two distinct ways – qualitatively or quantitatively. We believe that compromising in quality is not an option. The methodology we have adopted is to strip down layers of perception that have grown thick on the culture of housing development and hope that we find solutions.
