LV — How We Build · Plot to handover
Nine scenes. One house.
Scroll through the life of a build — from the first boot on bare earth to the day we hand you the keys. Every stage explained in plain language. No jargon, no skipped steps.
Scene 01 · Site Visit & Plot
We walk the plot first.
Before a single drawing is made, Manjunath visits your land. He reads the slope, the orientation, which way the sun moves, where the monsoon water runs. Most problems on site are solved, or created, in this one hour.

Scene 02 · Design & Drawings
Your home on paper.
The architect draws floor plans, elevations, and working drawings — on paper first, then CAD. You approve every room before a single trench is dug. Changes cost nothing at this stage. On site, they cost everything.
Scene 03 · Approvals & Estimation
The paperwork stage.
Building plans go to the local panchayat or municipality for sanction. We handle this. Simultaneously, we prepare a line-by-line BOQ that names every material and labour unit, so you know exactly where each rupee goes before you sign anything.
Scene 04 · Materials
We count every brick.
We don't substitute. The BOQ names the brand, the grade, the quantity. Below are the six categories that make or break a build.
Cement
UltraTech · ACC · Ambuja
Consistent grade, tested batch-to-batch, available in Sirsi.
Steel
Tata Tiscon · RINL
Fe500D grade — ductile enough to absorb seismic movement.
Timber
Greenply · CenturyPly
Boiling-water-proof ply for wet areas; teak for finish doors.
Tiles
Johnson · Somany · RAK
600×600 and 800×800 vitrified — hard, low-maintenance, local stocks.
Hardware
Hettich · Ozone · Godrej
European-grade hinges and locks — the daily-use items that show age.
Paint
Asian Paints Royale · Berger Silk
Washable, weather-resistant finish — the coat you see every day.
Scene 05 · Foundation
The first cut goes deep.
Trenches are dug to the depth the structural design specifies — not shallower. Concrete is poured in lifts, never all at once. The foundation cures for 28 days. What you build on top is only as good as what you can't see.

Scene 06 · Structure
Columns and walls rise.
Columns, beams, and slabs follow the structural engineer's drawings exactly. Formwork is stripped only when concrete reaches design strength. Brick masonry goes up course by course — mortar joints uniform, plumb verified at every two feet.

Scene 07 · Roof & Envelope
Cover it up.
The roof slab waterproofed, Mangalore tiles or flat-slab terrace finished. Windows and doors fixed in frames, not afterthoughts — frames go in during masonry so the wall bonds around them. The building is now weathertight.

Scene 08 · Interiors & Finishes
The inside takes shape.
Electrical conduits run inside walls before plastering. Plumbing rough-in before tiles. Two coats of plaster, one coat putty, two coats paint — in that order, no shortcuts. Flooring laid on a levelled screed. Hardware fitted last so it doesn't get scratched.

Scene 09 · Handover
The keys are yours.
Final walkthrough with you and Manjunath. Every snag noted, fixed, re-checked. Electrical and plumbing tested under load. Completion certificate collected. Warranty documentation handed over. Then — the keys.
