How a House
Gets Built

Buying a plot is the foundation of your journey. In Shivamogga and Davanagere, plot dimensions (30×40, 40×60) and road access are critical factors. A "Clean Title" means the seller legally owns it, and the government recognises their ownership.

Before we build, we test the ground to determine how much weight it can safely carry. This critical step prevents cracks and sinking years later. In Shimoga, soil can vary wildly — from solid rock to soft silt — across just a few metres.

The design process starts with your Floor Plan — a precise 2D layout of every room, door, window, and staircase. This is not just a drawing: your floor plan is what we use to calculate your actual project cost. Until the floor plan is finalised, only a tentative estimate can be shared — accurate costing requires knowing the exact Built-Up Area and room configuration.

Once you approve the floor plan, we move to the 3D Elevation — a photorealistic rendering of how your home will look from the outside. At Sturdy Groups, every plan integrates Vastu compliance (East/North-facing preferences) to ensure your home attracts both light and positive energy.

SMC (Shivamogga Municipal Council) or DCC (Davanagere City Corporation) must formally approve your building plan. Without this license, your construction is illegal and cannot be sold or registered. Sturdy Groups manages this 100% on your behalf.

We dig the ground to prepare for the structural footings — the "feet" of the building. The footing type (Isolated vs. Raft vs. Pile) is chosen based on your Step 2 soil report. Footings are crucial for stability during monsoons, tremors, and wind.

All excavation depth, footing dimensions, and reinforcement details are executed strictly as per the approved structural drawings provided by our engineering team. No dimension is guessed — every measurement on site matches the stamped structural drawing.

This is the RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) structure — the most critical phase for structural safety. Columns carry vertical loads, Beams connect and distribute them horizontally, and Slabs form your floors. The quality of steel and concrete used here determines your building's 50-year lifespan.

Once the structure is ready, we build the walls using bricks or blocks. In Karnataka, three main options exist — each with specific advantages for heat insulation, construction speed, and cost. We help you choose the right wall for each part of your home.

Wires and pipes are laid inside walls and floors BEFORE plastering. This is your only chance to finalise every plug point, tap, switch, and drain location. Changes after plastering require walls to be broken — messy, expensive, and avoidable.

Internal walls get 2 coats of cement plaster for a smooth painting surface. External walls get a thicker coat. Waterproofing is applied to all wet areas — bathrooms, kitchen slab, terrace, and external walls — to stop dampness from entering the structure.

Flooring and painting define the visual character of your home. From Vitrified tiles to Italian Marble, each choice creates a different feel. Painting uses 2 coats of wall putty for smoothness, 1 primer coat, and 2 coats of final emulsion for longevity.

Main door in Solid Teak wood for security and prestige. Internal doors in WPC (termite-proof & waterproof). Windows in Aluminium or uPVC frames with glass for light. This phase also includes fitting of light switches, taps, sanitary-ware, and bathroom accessories.

Our 150-point quality inspection ensures zero leaks, perfect floor levels, smooth finishes, and every switch and tap functions correctly. Only after clearing this checklist do we hand over your keys along with the 10-year structural warranty and post-handover support plan.
