Brick & Bolt - Individual home construction process

 

Home construction is exciting and it’s the largest investment one makes in their lifetime. Brick and Bolt acknowledges it and has created a trademarked process to simplify the home construction process and help you realize your dream home.

After a plot has been registered in one’s name and khata has been obtained, you can reach out to bricknbolt representative on their website www.brickandbolt.com or call +917505205205

Technical Consultation by Brick and Bolt

After registering your interest, Brick and Bolt assigns a technical expert who meets the land owner and walks through the various steps in home construction. This involves understanding requirements, listing processes, and showcasing the various options. Using their proprietary home construction cost calculator, the technical expert generates multiple quotations for your specific needs. In addition, the technical consultant also explains the trademarked processes and expected timelines for the completion of the project

This additionally involves the stages of construction, the payment cycle, assistance with loans, and explaining what to expect in the overall construction lifecycle.

Once a project has been booked with Brick and Bolt, it is handed over to a relationship manager who takes over and helps in the planning stage.

Design Stage:

As a company obsessed with perfection, Brick and Bolt conduct soil testing and a digital survey to measure site dimensions and evaluate the exact specifications of the site, angles, and road elevation before starting design. This is done in every single project to ensure that design incorporates the Nitty-gritty of a site.

The reports are sent to Architects and Engineers who meet the customers along with the reports and understand the needs, aspirations, and requirements of the customer. With the lab reports available, the Architect can take informed decisions and map customer’s requirements to design inputs

Post this, Architects and customers finetune the layout and design through multiple iterations and customer feedback. Once signed off, high-fidelity designs are created which flow into the construction stage. This involves the creation of a site plan, 2D Design, 3D Design, and structural drawings.

Once requirements and drawings are closed, the final contract between the parties is signed with the final quotation. The agreement signed by Brick and Bolt and the customer also has a penalty clause that indicates that a delay in the project would lead to the customer being paid 1% of the project value for every month of delay after the grace period

Construction Stage:

The construction phase is where Brick and Bolt’s true expertise starts to show. A large team of project managers, site engineers, project coordinators, and contractors work together to realize the design into reality. The team works with detailed processes across hundreds of touchpoints. These include critical, no-go, and compulsory checks across various categories and involve maker - checker ecosystem where payment is processed only after the work has been completed and certified as per the satisfaction of the parties involved.

Brick&Bolt Quality Assessment System(QASCON) is a trademarked quality assessment system where 390+ quality checks are conducted for every floor built, which means 1000+ quality checks would be completed for a G+2 floor structure.

These quality checks ensure an on-specification crack-free leakage-free home that can last generations. For example, the team has multiple ways to ensure that cracks do not appear on walls. Chemicals are added to concrete mixtures to ensure longevity and higher strength. In addition, engineers have identified that cracks appear because of different thermal expansions of different materials, such as concrete and bricks. To allow for the expansion of concrete and bricks, the usage of chicken mesh is mandatory and avoids cracks due to differences in thermal expansion

Another example would be the use of Primer in the painting process. Primer is a layer that should be used before paint is applied and works as an adhesive. The usage of primer increases the life of paint and its impact will only be seen after years since the longevity of the decorative paint has increased

Once site engineers and project managers are satisfied with the quality checks, the site is handed over to the customer. Brick and Bolt does not end the relationship here, but gives 5 years warranty on their homes so that consumers can reach out in case of any niggles and the team will be happy to sort the issues out.

In summary, BricknBolt give a crack-free, leakage-free, beautiful, and functional home within the promised budget and delivered in the promised time!
