Hi Sppirya, Did you use glass flooring in your space? Looks great here:

Nowadays builders from Delhi and NCR are shifting to places like alwar and bhiwadi for apartment construction, as delhi and NCR are not vacant for construction. So, the building materials charges have increased comparatively. Even if you save 5000 or 10000 in design fee, it won't make any difference. As, ultimately you have to bear contractor charges and building materials.

my house is also going through the construction stage from past six month's I used clay red bricks instead of using cement blocks & bricks as my architect & structure engineer both adviced red bricks keep 3 to 4 degrees temperature down in summer & plastering of wall is more convenient & long life on red bricks, comparing to cement bricks , cement bricks are easily available nice in size ,shape, strong & sturdy hence there is very low waste comparing to other materials

Hello Rahul, limiting to your query on granite - It is quite a beautiful, natural and hard material. For applications in kitchen, store and balcony they would do good. There are some points you should consider for granite application - - Granite usually occur in dark shades so consider the lighting in the area of application. - Ask the vendor for iron content in any natural stone for avoiding rust marks. - The process of application and polishing is cumbersome but thank god in India, craftsmen are easily available. - Do not go for a elaborate gloss polish to avoid skidding/slippery floors. - It is also advisable to re-polish/reseal them every 3-5 years.
