What BKC sites are like

BKC is the planned business district: the diamond bourse, the consulates, the banks, and the G and E blocks where MMRDA plots are auctioned for Grade-A offices and a handful of luxury residential towers.

Large office towers with long-span steel, high-strength concrete cores and deep basements, plus 20 to 40-storey luxury residential on the residential plots.

Office space goes to banks and multinationals; residential goes to senior executives and business owners who work in BKC. Structural steel and long-span work are a large part of BKC projects, which brings our fabrication side into the work order; settlement is in office floors.

Access shapes the programme. Wide planned roads and large plots; batching plants and multiple cranes on every site.

Commercial plates in BKC need long spans and heavy loads, so we quote conventional RCC with post-tensioned slabs, structural-steel transfer members from our own fabrication shop, and jump-form cores where the tower is tall enough.

For BKC developers: a contractor who does not need monthly RA payments. We take flats at 35% below market, half-barter, or cash, whichever suits the project's cash flow this year.

We also take pure cash contracts on competitive item rates when the developer prefers to keep inventory.

Quoting basis

Quoted from drawings, by technology

Commercial plates in BKC need long spans and heavy loads, so we quote conventional RCC with post-tensioned slabs, structural-steel transfer members from our own fabrication shop, and jump-form cores where the tower is tall enough.

Conventional RCC

Ply-and-prop shuttering with cast-in-situ columns, beams and slabs. Suited to redevelopment plots with irregular footprints, podium-and-tower layouts and towers up to about 25 floors. Quoted per sq ft built-up or item-rate BOQ.

Mivan / aluminium formwork

Monolithic walls and slabs cast together on a 7-day floor cycle. Suited to repetitive floor plates of 20 to 60 floors and large townships. We own formwork sets; the quote covers formwork, labour and material.

Traditional / load-bearing

Brick or block load-bearing with RCC slabs for low-rise, bungalows, row-houses and G+3 society redevelopment in the suburbs and MMR. Lowest cost per sq ft; quoted per sq ft or lump-sum.

FAQ

Questions we get from BKC developers

Do you take contracting work in BKC against flats?

Yes. We execute excavation, piling, RCC and civil work for projects in BKC against a work order settled in flats, shops or units of the same project, valued at 35% below the project's current market rate. 50% barter + 50% payment and 100% payment contracts are also available.

What happens if the BKC project is delayed?

The work order carries a milestone table with float. Delays caused by approvals or the developer pause our settlement clock; delays caused by us attract liquidated damages like any cash contract. Flats already released stay released.

Which floors and flats do you take in BKC?

A mix agreed at signing, usually mid-floor units of the most saleable configuration in the project rather than the best or worst floors. The unit schedule is part of the barter MOU, and we can swap units by mutual consent before registration.

Do you supply materials on barter in BKC as well?

Yes. TMT, ready-mix concrete, cement, aggregates, AAC blocks, structural steel and finishing materials are all available on barter in BKC, bundled into the contracting work order or as a separate supply agreement.

What size of project do you take in BKC?

From a single-building society redevelopment of about 20,000 sq ft built-up to multi-tower schemes. Below that size the documentation cost outweighs the benefit; above it there is no upper limit.

Can the BKC contract be 50% barter and 50% payment?

Yes, and it is our most common structure for redevelopment schemes. The barter half is settled in flats at the agreed barter rate; the payment half is billed as running-account bills against PMC certification.

Who sells the flats you receive in BKC?

We do, through our inventory desk, or we hold them. The developer's sales team is not involved and there is no conflict with their pricing; our units are sold at a market-linked rate, not undercut.

Why we hold flats here

BKC flats: our exit

Grade-A office absorption and retail demand here keep commercial units liquid, so we accept office and shop units as settlement alongside flats.

Office space goes to banks and multinationals; residential goes to senior executives and business owners who work in BKC. That is the pool our inventory desk sells into, and it is why we can offer 35% below market rather than a deeper discount.
