We purchased the house few months back and it has been delivered with lots of defects. The house was delivered with no issues but soon cracks started developing and we came to realize that we were cheated by the builder – and partners by temporary closing the cracks with chalk powder and putty.
Day by day, the cracks are developing and they as the builders are ignoring it completely. They are not willing for a replacement and is not even doing temporary maintenance now.
Chief problems are:
1.Serious multiple horizontal cracks(Wide and split open – -Wall Thick)/
2. Serious threat to structural integrity due to deformation of the structure.
3.Floor tiles are shearing and has become uneven.
4.Arch and associated wooden works are broken due to expansion or shrinkage.
5.Window frames detached from the wall(Through visible gaps.)
Since, the structural integrity of the building is doubtful, our family is in tremendous mental agony as our safety is in danger. Since, the problem lies with the foundation structural engineers are also not able to provide a complete remedy for this problem.
I have spent my hard-earned 48 lakhs on this house and what the builder has provided me is a structure with a weak foundation which can collapse at any time and is a threat to our lives. The ignorant, arrogant and “Don’t Care” attitude of the builders are not helping at all.
Please help us find a solution to this serious problem.

I am one of the flat owners at Santhi Riverdale built by Santhi Homes (also known as Almark Housing).
There are numerous faults inside the flats and in common areas.
Some examples are:
Swimming pool is unusable. Bore well not provided. Builder is refusing to build the Boat Jetty that was originally promised.
Five years have passed since paying the deposit and have paid them all the money as per the agreement plus another Rs 25, 000. But the building is not ready for handover. We formed a Yahoo Group last year. But despite various promises given much work need to be done.

Law is too weak to protect the public from such builders.
