The Foundation of a Great Home
Every beautiful home begins with one smart decision — choosing the right land.
At Prakash Constructions, we’ve seen how the right plot can make your project smoother, safer, and more affordable. The wrong one can do the opposite — leading to design limitations, higher costs, or legal issues.
Here’s a clear guide to help you choose wisely before you start building:
1. Pick the Right Location and Connectivity:
When selecting a plot, location decides both comfort and future value.
Choose land that offers:
- Quick access to main roads, schools, hospitals, and markets.
- Reliable public transport and utilities
A calm residential area with steady development potential
💡 Tip: Visit the site at different times of the day to check noise levels, traffic flow, and safety.
2. Verify Legal Documents:
Legal safety is non-negotiable. Before purchase, confirm:
Title deed in the seller’s name
Patta, Chitta, and Encumbrance Certificate (EC) are clear
DTCP / CMDA approval for plotted development
Land is categorized as residential, not agricultural
Our legal partners at Prakash Constructions can help verify every document before you invest.
3. Examine Soil and Topography
The soil beneath determines your home’s strength.
Red or sandy soil = good drainage
Clay soil = retains moisture, needs deeper foundation
Avoid low-lying plots that flood easily
We always recommend a soil test before finalizing your plan. Our engineering team can arrange it for you.
4. Ideal Plot Size, Shape, and Facing
Practical design starts with plot geometry.
Square/rectangular plots are easiest to design
East or north-facing is preferred for light and ventilation
Ensure enough frontage for parking and entry
Check set-back rules and FAR (Floor Area Ratio) for expansion options .
5. Confirm Government Regulations and Approvals
Unapproved plots can cause costly trouble later.
Ensure your land:
Lies within a DTCP/CMDA-approved layout
Complies with local zoning and road width rules
Follows FAR and building-height limits
Our design team aligns every plan with municipal by-laws to guarantee approval without delays.
6. Utilities and Infrastructure
A great plot needs more than good soil.
Check for:
Water availability or borewell feasibility
Proper drainage and storm-water flow
Electricity and road access
Our site evaluation includes checking these utilities before we begin construction.
7. Budget and Long-Term Value
The cost of land isn’t just price per sq.ft.
Include:
Registration & stamp duty
Site preparation and fencing
Soil test and approvals
Balance today’s cost with future appreciation potential. Prime but developing areas usually offer the best returns.
8. Vastu and Personal Preferences
If you follow Vastu Shastra, look for:
East/north-facing entrance
Slightly elevated northeast corner
Balanced plot proportions
Our architects at Prakash Constructions blend Vastu with modern aesthetics — without compromising design freedom.

✅ Approved layout (DTCP/CMDA)

✅ Road, water & electricity access
