A better brief.
A more confident build.

Explore a budget, ask better questions and see what a useful quality record looks like. No signup needed.

01

MAKE THE NUMBERS UNDERSTANDABLE

What could your build cost?

Use the chargeable area from your drawings, or add the confirmed chargeable area floor by floor. Your quotation confirms parking, balcony and terrace treatment. If the area basis is not ready, discuss it with an engineer first. Plot size alone cannot determine the budget.

02

BEFORE YOU SIGN

Does your quotation answer these?

Tick a topic only when it is clearly covered in writing. This helps you prepare questions for any builder; it is not a quality rating or approval of a contract.

QUALITY YOU CAN ASK TO SEE

Behind the finish, there should be a record.

Explore the information a useful site record should contain. These are illustrative formats, not completed inspections or project evidence.

01 / STRUCTUREBefore a concrete pour
Identify
Pour location, element, date and approved drawing revision.
Check
Reinforcement, cover, formwork, dimensions and embedded services against the approved design.
Record
Inspector, photos, observations, unresolved items and release decision.
Proceed when
The responsible engineer has cleared the required hold point.

Illustrative fields only. Acceptance criteria come from the approved design and inspection plan.

02 / WATERPROOFINGBefore the finish goes on
Identify
Area, approved system, product batch and application stage.
Check
Surface readiness, junctions, application and the specified test.
Record
Test method, duration and result, photographs, defects and reviewer.
Proceed when
Required tests pass and the affected area is released before covering.

Test requirements depend on the approved system and project specification.

03 / SERVICESBefore pipes & wiring are hidden
Identify
Room, line or circuit, service route and current drawing.
Check
The specified plumbing or electrical installation and tests.
Record
Measured results, equipment identification, route photos and corrective work.
Proceed when
The competent reviewer clears concealed work under the project plan.

Safety tests are carried out by qualified personnel using the approved procedures.

04 / HANDOVERBefore you take the keys
Identify
Room-by-room inspection, asset and document register.
Check
Commissioning, agreed snags and the completeness of the handover set.
Record
Snag owner and closure evidence, as-built records, care guides and warranties supplied.
Follow through
Use the written defect-reporting route and applicable contract terms.

The signed scope defines the documents and aftercare obligations for your project.

KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR

A clear record at every decision.

Your scope, site progress and payments should tell the same story. Use these examples to agree the reporting set for your home before you sign.

Illustrative examples · These are teaching examples, not records of a completed KANZ project. The signed agreement defines your reporting and payment obligations.

A USEFUL WEEKLY UPDATE

See what moved.
Know what needs you.

Completed & accepted
Identify the location, quantity and linked inspection release. Separate installed work that is still awaiting acceptance.
On hold
Example: bathroom tiling is held while a waterproofing defect is corrected and the specified retest is completed. Covering waits for the responsible engineer’s release.
Your next decision
Record the exact fitting or finish, allowance, approval owner and need-by date. Show what work depends on that decision.
Programme & money
Show the next two weeks, unresolved constraints, milestone forecast, approved changes, certified invoices and payments received separately.

If work is paused, the update should explain why, who is acting and what will release it.

SELECTIONS & VARIATIONSHow one choice changes the total

Suppose a tile supply allowance is ₹75 per sq ft and your selected tile is ₹95 on the same ex-tax basis, for an agreed 400 sq ft quantity.

Original allowance credit
− ₹30,000
Selected tile supply
+ ₹38,000
Net supply change
₹8,000
Illustrative tax at 18%
₹1,440
Illustrative change total
₹9,440

Teaching example only. Installation is assumed unchanged. Confirm the measured purchase quantity, wastage, freight, handling, any markup, tax treatment and time effect in the actual quotation. A material change also needs technical acceptance.

Approve the written net change and any revised date before ordering or changed work.

INVOICES & RECEIPTSA payment does not close an inspection

An invoice should identify the contractual milestone, measured or certified work and its supporting release records. Advance payments and other agreed payment types should be described separately.

Simple payment example: an invoice with ₹1,00,000 payable and a bank receipt of ₹60,000 has ₹40,000 still outstanding, assuming no deductions or credits. The receipt records what arrived; it does not change the certified work or its acceptance status.

For an actual invoice, reconcile tax, advance recovery, retention, applicable deductions and credits under the signed agreement. Label disputed amounts and resolve them through the agreed procedure.

Keep three records distinct: work accepted, amount payable and money received.

YOUR WRITTEN QUOTATIONOne place for the promises that matter

Ask for a project-specific commercial promise schedule that connects the quotation, specifications and agreement.

  • Measured area, drawing revisions, included quantities and exclusions.
  • Exact selections, allowance units, taxes and owner-paid charges.
  • Programme dependencies, payment milestones and change/credit rules.
  • Warranty provider, coverage, exclusions, maintenance conditions and reporting route.
  • Drawing deliverables, fees, revisions, usage rights and cancellation or refund terms.

Resolve inconsistent wording and open decisions before signing. A package page is the starting point for this discussion.
