Choosing the Builder

Democratic Voting for the builder

Today, the meeting was held in Daulat Baugh office.

We had lots of discussions on four builders who had approached us, Kamala, Wadwa, Satgurus, and Supreme.

Kamaka’s proposal is very lucrative money wise and is very much tempting with all the amenities that they are offering: park, swimming pool, jogging area, gym etc

Satguru’s construction is very classic and he has quality, It is believed that they make very good buildings with best materials that they use, although their monetary offer was the lowest.

Wadwa proposal is good too and their financial status in the market is quite stable

Supreme construction is good too and we have a ready example building opposite our building.

To maintain the transparency, at 12noon we had democratic voting, where each one was given a slip of paper and they had to vote for one builder only. And it was decided that the final decision would be taken on the voting of all those who were present at the meeting.

People, who had not come for meeting, were summoned to cast their vote too, and some of the members came to the office only to vote and went back after voting.

There were 21 votes

One vote ‘nobody’
One vote went to ‘Supreme’
Three votes went to ‘Wadwa’
Two went to ‘Kamala’
Fourteen votes went to ‘Satgurus’

So it was decided that a letter of consent would be sent to ‘Satgurus’. And further problems will be ironed out eventually.

One more meeting in June 2013

By -
Last sunday, had a general body meeting. everybody in the building is eager for redevelopment but there is always one point which lags and delays the project Most of the meeting was spend discussing the parking space for the present members. Flat owners who have more that 764 sq mt are entitled for 2 parking spaces, but the builder has agreed only for those over 900sq mts, that leaves 5 more flats which needs to be negotiated. Every paper takes 2-3 months to pass and every argument takes 2-3 months to dissolve..well two years have passed by with no results so far. There is also discussion on having a glass building which some members feel it looks too gross and commercial. Well, that will be discussed on another day, when? still waiting......

I Am Back Home From Daulat Baugh To Satguru Shlok

I am back again after four years of silence on this blog. The building went for redevelopment, I knew I would miss my building where I have lived for over forty years. Every brick sighed and its breath diminished each day as the day approached for redevelopment. I remember the last rainy day in June 2014, the building wept. I had moved out for two years and taken a small flat close by. When I moved, what I missed the most was my balcony. Nine feet by four feet balcony was the area where I would spend most of my evenings. As the sun slumped across the horizon, its golden rays filtered though the tall trees spreading its warmth over me. I sat in my balcony with a cup of tea on the ledge and a mobile in my hand. Many evenings were spent sipping tea and surfing through my ‘WatsApp’ messages. Sometimes I would listen to the music and sometimes watch videos on its tiny screen. Then there would be chats on social media, forward messages to read or the missed phone call to...

Clean and Green Society Gets Rebate on Property Tax.

During one of our meeting before redevelopment, there was talk of   rain water harvesting but I don’t think that there is any provision in our new building or is there? When our building was under construction, I had expressed the desire of installing solar panels on the terrace. Due to lack of space on the terrace, this idea was not received well. I wish we had found some space to install solar panels to cover at least the cost of society electricity bills. Our building is well lighted from all angles of our society, inside out, at the flower beds, at the pools, in the lobby and common areas, and it does look beautiful, it is a good feeling, but I am dreading the huge electricity bill that i will have to pay. Moreover, carrying out environment friendly  measures gets 10 percent discount on property tax. Today I receive a circular from BMC to segregate  dry and wet waste. This is a good idea and is accepted in all countries around the world. It is eco friendl...
