Independent project analysis · NCR & Uttarakhand

You paid for 1,300 sq ft.
You live in 1,000.

The 300 sq ft you'll never walk on is called loading — and it's just the first trick. I research projects the way an investor would, publish the verdict either way, and teach you the method for free.

No paid promotions. Every commission disclosed. Verdicts published even when the answer is "avoid".

Verdicts, not brochuresEvery project is scored against a fixed, public framework — legal gates first, weighted scorecard second. Brand names don't get a pass.

Sources, gradedEach claim is tagged: verified on records, estimated, or builder's word. You see exactly how solid the ground is.

Disclosure, alwaysIf I earn a commission on a project, it's stated on the verdict. If I don't, that's stated too. No exceptions.

Godrej Crown Residences

Sector 27 · Greater Noida

Top-tier brand inside a delivered township — but carpet area and the real per-foot price are undisclosed. Five checks stand between this and a recommendation.

How "Avoid" happens

Framework demo

Any failed legal gate — title, RERA, approvals, zoning, litigation — ends the analysis at "Avoid". No amenity list can rescue a broken foundation.

Carpet vs built-up vs super built-up — the loading trick
Gaj, sqft, sqm, bigha — the unit conversions that vary by state
FAR / FSI — how much can legally be built
RERA — your actual rights, and how to verify any project
Title, EC, Sale Deed, stamp duty, circle rate, yield…

From Lesson 03 — FARworked example

A plot is 1,000 sq m with FAR 2.5. The builder claims he can construct 4,000 sq m.

Buildable = Plot × FAR = 1,000 × 2.5 = 2,500 sq m

The claim is 60% over the legal limit. Now you know what to ask for: the sanctioned plan.
