2.Make no changes after the construction has begun:
Make sure you have a proper list of your requirements and a proper zoning of the spaces prior, all the approvals are done and you can start without any hindrances as it is said time is money and more expensive in cities like Mumbai.
3.You should think about saving money on finishing materials by purchasing them directly:
A client must conduct proper market research on material sources in order to reduce extra commission contractor charges in between.
