Lokhandwala: the ground reality

Lokhandwala Complex and Four Bungalows are 1980s planned townships: wide internal roads, the back road market, and hundreds of 8 to 12-storey societies that are now 40 years old and due for redevelopment.

Film and TV industry families and Andheri West buyers who want the Lokhandwala address. Regular plots and repetitive plates make Lokhandwala one of the few redevelopment belts where Mivan pays off; we quote it first.

Society redevelopment into 20 to 30-storey buildings with 2 and 3 BHKs; plot sizes are uniform and shapes regular, which suits Mivan.

Access shapes the programme. Wide planned roads take trailers; site yards are adequate.

Redevelopment plots in Lokhandwala vary, so we quote both: conventional RCC for irregular footprints and podium-and-tower layouts, Mivan where the plate repeats for 20 floors or more. The quote shows both rates so the developer can choose.

For Lokhandwala 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.

Quoting basis

Quoted from drawings, by technology

Redevelopment plots in Lokhandwala vary, so we quote both: conventional RCC for irregular footprints and podium-and-tower layouts, Mivan where the plate repeats for 20 floors or more. The quote shows both rates so the developer can choose.

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.

Process

The process we follow

01

Drawings in

Architectural and structural sets, elevation, floor plates and the RERA number. Our estimators take off quantities and build an item-rate BOQ within three working days.

02

Quote out

Per sq ft built-up or item-rate, shown for conventional RCC, Mivan or traditional as the structure allows, with barter, 50/50 and cash columns side by side.

03

Rate agreed

Flats in the same project valued at 35% below today's rate. Work-order value divided by that rate gives the carpet area we receive; the unit schedule goes into the MOU.

04

Paper signed

Work order with milestone table, barter MOU, registered agreements for sale on the allotted flats, escrow or milestone release as the lender permits.

05

Site starts

Mobilisation inside 15 days. Your PMC certifies milestones; flats release to us against certified value, RA bills cover any cash share.

FAQ

Before you call: Lokhandwala FAQs

Do you take contracting work in Lokhandwala against flats?

Yes. We execute excavation, piling, RCC and civil work for projects in Lokhandwala 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 protection does the developer have in Lokhandwala?

Flats are released only against PMC-certified work value, in tranches tied to milestones, so the developer never allots more than has been built. Escrow is available where the lender requires it.

How do you handle site logistics in Lokhandwala?

Wide planned roads take trailers; site yards are adequate. We plan deliveries, pours and crane time around those constraints and write realistic milestone dates into the work order.

How quickly can you mobilise in Lokhandwala?

Indicative quote within 72 hours of receiving drawings, site meeting within the week, signed work order and mobilisation within 15 days. Machinery, formwork and labour camps are our own.

Can the society or the PMC vet Barter Constructions before the Lokhandwala development agreement is signed?

Yes, and we encourage it. We share our execution record, machinery list, formwork inventory and references, and attend society meetings with the developer when asked.

How do you arrive at a quote for a Lokhandwala project?

From your architectural and structural drawings, elevation and floor plates. We take off quantities and quote per sq ft built-up or item-rate BOQ, showing conventional RCC, Mivan and traditional construction side by side where more than one applies.

What happens if the Lokhandwala 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.

Why we hold flats here

Lokhandwala flats: our exit

Sales of redeveloped flats here are driven by families who want to stay in the neighbourhood; absorption of 1 and 2 BHK free-sale inventory is steady, which is why we are comfortable holding units in these projects.

Film and TV industry families and Andheri West buyers who want the Lokhandwala address. That is the pool our inventory desk sells into, and it is why we can offer 35% below market rather than a deeper discount.
