Once you are done with your research, make a list of builders you are interested in and most likely to invest your money with. Find the details of their existence, people behind and since when they have been into this business. Connect with them and gather relevant information like carpet area, possession date as per RERA, specification, price quotes, etc.. Ask for the fixed quote and not the estimates. It will help you to choose the best services at reasonable prices.
