posted on 28 AprEvermark Provica Dream Valley: My frustrating reality check
₹95 lakh for a 3BHK in Evermark Provica Dream Valley. The brochure promised so much, but post-possession, it's disappointing. I'm in real estate, still surprised by the construction quality – seepage, cheap fittings already. Maintenance charges are high for such poor service. Anyone else facing this? What did you do?

OP, please keep us updated on what you decide to do. Your experience is a valuable lesson for many of us here. Good luck!
This whole experience just screams "buyer beware." It's not just Evermark, it's a common pattern. Builders focus on exteriors and amenities for marketing, then compromise on internal quality. The only way is to be extremely vigilant and have a legal expert review documents.
Noida mein rates toh badh rahe hain due to infrastructure development (airport, metro extension), but construction quality is still a hit or miss. Builders ko pata hai log khareedenge hi. It's a sad reality.
Builder ne phir se date extend kar diya lol. My friend just got his flat in Sector 121 after 4 years delay and guess what? The 'modular kitchen' was just a few plywood cabinets. What a joke!
Overall, this is a classic case of what happens when you trust a builder solely on their marketing material. Always check past projects, talk to existing residents, and get everything in writing. Hope OP gets some resolution.
@U1 That's really bad, especially for a corner unit on the 12th floor. Seepage from the balcony usually means poor waterproofing during construction. This is a major structural defect, not just cosmetic. Have you formally complained to the builder in writing?
@U1 Exactly. And ₹95L for a 3BHK in Evermark's quality, even if it's Sector 150, seems a bit much. Current average rates in good projects in Sector 150 are around ₹7500-8000/sqft for decent quality. Did you check price comparisons before booking?
@U4 Price comparisons are tricky. Brochures always show a lower base price, then add floor rise, PLC, club membership, car parking, EDC/IDC, GST... By the time you get the final cost, it's always way higher than advertised.
@U5 Absolutely. And then the builder says 'final cost' is non-negotiable. It's a trap. Best to get a 'total cost' estimate in writing before signing anything.
So, what's the plan, OP? Are you thinking of legal action? Or just trying to get the builder to fix the issues? This thread shows you're not alone, maybe a collective approach is best.
@U7 I think the OP needs to first document everything meticulously. Photos, videos, email trails of complaints. Then send a legal notice. RERA is an option, but collective action through an RWA or a consumer forum might be faster and more effective.
@U8 Yes, collective action is key. Start a WhatsApp group, find other affected residents. Builder will listen to a group, not an individual.
As an NRI, this is my biggest fear. Buying a property back home, then finding it's a nightmare to maintain from abroad. You rely on family or property managers, and they often can't fight with builders effectively. It's a huge financial and emotional drain.
@U18 This is a valid point. For NRIs, it's even harder. My advice would be to always hire a third-party inspection agency *before* taking possession. It costs a bit, but saves a lot of headaches later. They check for all these quality issues.
@U19 Agreed. NRI buyers are often seen as easy targets. Builder knows it's tough for them to follow up constantly. Better to be overly cautious.
I'm a first-time buyer looking in Noida Extension. This thread is making me so nervous. Is there *any* builder left who delivers on promises? Or is this just the standard experience now? ₹95 lakh is my life's savings.
@U14 @U15 @U16 They are charging ₹4/sqft! For basic security, generator backup that barely works, and a broken lift half the time. No RWA yet, builder ka hi control hai. I'm on the 12th floor, corner unit. The seepage is near the balcony in the master bedroom.
@U9 Totally agree. As an investor, I'm now looking at ready-to-move-in properties only. Pre-booked projects are too risky. You save a bit, but then end up spending double on repairs and fighting with the builder.
@U10 But ready-to-move-in are also 15-20% more expensive. And sometimes, even they have hidden issues. It's a lose-lose situation for buyers.
@U11 The premium for RTM is worth it for peace of mind. Plus, you can actually see what you're getting. For investors, rent starts immediately.
Mera bhi same experience tha 2 years ago with a builder in Greater Noida West. Brochure mein swimming pool aur gym Olympic-standard dikhaya tha, reality mein ek chhota sa puddle aur rusted equipment. Builder ne finishings mein Rs. 50,000 bhi nahi lagaye honge.
@U13 Ugh, the false promises are infuriating. But what about the maintenance charges, OP? You mentioned they are high. How much are they charging per sqft? And for what services? Is there an RWA formed yet or is it still builder-managed?
@U14 Builder-managed maintenance is usually daylight robbery. They charge for everything and deliver nothing. We were paying ₹3.5/sqft in our society for basic services.
@U15 ₹3.5/sqft is quite high for a new project with issues! In Sector 137, we pay ₹2.8/sqft and services are decent. OP should definitely get a clear breakdown of charges.
@U16 Exactly. And check if they're charging GST on maintenance. Many builders do this illegally. RWA banake hi control aayega.
Yaar, you're not alone. I swear, these builders just put up fancy brochures and 3D renders. Once you get possession, it's a completely different story. My friend bought in Sector 78 and had similar issues with electrical fittings and plumbing. What was your possession date?
@U3 @U4 Exactly! RERA is there, but implementation is still weak. Evermark ka toh track record hi kharab hai, bhai. They always cut corners. I had a relative who booked with them years ago, same story – delays, then poor finish. Is this the one near the Expressway?
@U5 Haan, I think this is the one near Sector 150. Brochure mein toh "luxury living" likha tha. It's sad that even after paying so much, we get such shoddy work. What options do we even have legally?
@U6 Legal options are mostly RERA, but it takes ages and the compensation is often minimal. Builders know this. Best is to form a society group and put collective pressure. Individual complaints don't work.
@U7 True that. Mera ek friend hai, usne toh society banake builder ko social media pe expose kiya. Tab jaake kuch kaam hua. These builders only understand collective power.
This is why I'm so hesitant to buy in Noida right now. Rates are going up, but quality seems to be consistently falling. ₹95 lakh is almost Bangalore/Mumbai rates for a 3BHK, but with none of the quality assurance. Kya faayda?

Oh bhai! Totally relatable. Evermark? Naam hi sunke darr lagta hai. ₹95 lakh for a 3BHK is not a small amount. Seepage is the worst, especially in a new flat. Meri building mein bhi same issue tha, builder ne bas patch-up kiya.
Uff, this is heartbreaking to hear. 95L for a 3BHK in Evermark Provica? Which sector is this? I heard good things about Dream Valley's location, but construction quality has always been a red flag for many builders in Noida. Did you check their RERA status properly before buying?
