Shriram Smrithi mein construction quality kitni acchi hai after possession? Just moved in, snag list seems endless. Chhote-mote issues har jagah. Amenities bhi bas on paper. Disagree? Tell me why.

This whole discussion just highlights how tough it is for first-time buyers. We put our life savings, take a huge loan, and then have to deal with these quality issues. It feels like a gamble every time. While Shriram Smrithi's issues are concerning, it's also true that many builders face these challenges with large scale projects. The key is how quickly and efficiently they resolve them post-possession. What's the builder's response been to your snag list?
That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Builder ka response hi sabse important hota hai. Has anyone here had a good experience with their customer service for snagging? Or are they just ghosting after possession?
So, are the amenities completely non-functional or just not as promised? The original post said 'bas on paper'. That's a deal-breaker for me if the clubhouse or gym isn't up to par. What's the ground reality?
From what I've heard from a friend who visited, the amenities are there, but they feel very basic and not well-maintained. The swimming pool is okay, but the gym equipment is minimal, and the community hall looks unfinished. So, it's not 'on paper' completely, but definitely not premium as advertised. Just functional, at best.
My cousin bought a flat in a Shriram project a few years back, not Smrithi, but another one, and he faced similar issues. Bathroom fittings loose, paint peeling within months, drainage problems. He spent almost a lakh extra just fixing things after moving in. This builder ka track record seems to be consistent with average quality. Did you check their RERA complaints history before booking?
Most builders manage to keep their RERA records 'clean' by addressing minor complaints quickly or settling outside. It's hard to rely purely on RERA for these finishing issues. The real picture often comes out from residents once they move in, just like this post. Finishing aur common areas mein quality issues toh common hain.
Oh no, that's scary! A lakh extra is a lot for us budget-conscious folks. RERA complaints history, that's a good point. Did your cousin find any?
I was actually considering Shriram Smrithi. Price range ₹52 L – ₹88 L for 1280 units seemed decent for a completed project in that area, but if this is the quality, then I'm having second thoughts. Is this price justified for 'average' construction? What's your take on the overall value proposition now?
No, I don't think it's justified. The Bengaluru market is already on fire, and builders are riding that wave. Even in localities like Aavalahalli, prices have shot up. But that doesn't mean quality should suffer. If the amenities are just on paper, that's a huge miss for community living. We pay a premium for those facilities.
Honestly, at that price point, you expect more than just 'average'. ₹52 L – ₹88 L is not a small amount for a first-time buyer. For 1280 units, they must have cut corners somewhere to deliver that volume. I've seen smaller builders with better quality control. Maybe try looking at projects with fewer units, they sometimes pay more attention to detail.
Oh god, this is exactly what I'm dreading! I'm a first-time buyer and Shriram Smrithi was on my list because of the location and the 'completed' tag. But if the quality is like this, it's a huge red flag. Snag list endless sounds like a nightmare. Mera budget bhi tight hai, aise extra kharche kaun uthaega?
Haan, exactly! This is my biggest fear. I'm also looking at properties in Akshayanagar and the prices there for completed projects are also high. What kind of issues are you facing specifically? Like structural ya just finishing touches? Amenities on paper is a classic trick.
Totally agree. I've heard similar stories about builders once they get possession done. They just want to close the deal. Chhote-mote issues are fine, but endless is a problem. Bahut tension ho jaati hai first-time buyers ko.
