Checks Before You Commit
Check Previous Projects
Visit completed projects where possible. Don't rely only on brochures or showroom presentations.
Check Delivery History
Research whether previous projects were completed according to their stated schedules.
Check Construction Quality
Look at actual completed buildings and inspect finishes, common areas and maintenance.
Check the Contract
Understand payment schedules, delivery conditions, warranties, obligations and applicable fees.
Check After-Sales Service
Ask what happens after handover — who handles maintenance, defects and common-area management once you receive the keys.
