What goes in,
and how you check it.
Placeholder: grades, brands and test intervals above are written to industry-standard practice for residential work in U.P. Confirm each against what Urban Groups actually specifies before this goes live.
Here is where it went.
| Where | What we do | What a cheaper quote does | What it costs you later |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel quantity | Bar bending schedule from the structural drawing, weighed on delivery | Bars spaced a little wider, one size thinner, stirrups at 9″ instead of 6″ | Nothing, for twenty years. Then cracks at the column heads, and no repair that works. |
| Concrete mix | Design mix M25, cube-tested at 7 and 28 days | Volume batching by the head-pan, no testing | Strength you cannot measure and cannot prove. Nothing to point at when it fails. |
| Curing | 14 days of ponding, logged with dated photos | Three days, or whenever somebody remembers | Up to a third of the strength you paid for, plus hairline cracks across every slab. |
| Cover blocks | Factory cover blocks under every bar | Broken brick pieces, or nothing | Steel sitting in wet concrete. Rust, spalling, and exposed bars by year fifteen. |
| Sand | Washed sand, silt-tested on delivery | Whatever the truck brought | Weak mortar and plaster that powders off the wall the first time it is repainted. |
| Supervision | A site engineer on your site, plus a supervisor daily | The mason decides | Every decision on your house made by whoever was standing there at the time. |
| Billing | Material bills handed to you at every stage | A lump-sum rate and no paperwork | No way to know what reached your site — and no way to argue about it afterwards. |
We are not the cheapest quote you will get, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we will do is show you, line by line, what the difference buys.
Eight stages,
and what to check in each.
Layout & excavation
Plot corners fixed against the sanctioned site plan, column centres marked, pits dug to the depth the soil test says. Check: the setbacks on the ground match the setbacks on the drawing. This is the last hour it is free to fix.
Footings & plinth
PCC, footing steel, footing concrete, then the pedestals up to plinth level and the plinth beam tying it all together. Check: photographs of every footing with its steel visible, before backfill.
Ground floor columns
Cages tied, shuttering plumbed, concrete poured and vibrated, cured wet for a fortnight. Check: stirrup spacing tightens near the top and bottom of each column. Count them.
Ground floor slab
Dhalai day. Beams and slab steel tied as one, conduit for the electrical laid in before the pour, then a continuous concrete pour. Check: that the electrical conduit went in. Adding it later means cutting your new slab.
First floor frame & slab
The same sequence, one storey up, plus the staircase. Check: the stair going and riser against the drawing — this is where site convenience quietly makes stairs steeper.
Brickwork
Nine-inch external walls, four-and-a-half internal, door and window frames set as the wall goes up. Check: stand in each room before plaster. This is the last week the room's size is still an opinion.
Wiring & plumbing
Chasing, conduit, junction boxes, water lines pressure-tested, drainage laid to fall. Check: every switch and socket against the electrical drawing, on site, with the drawing in your hand.
Plaster & grey handover
Internal and external plaster, waterproofing on terrace and wet areas, and the structure is complete. Check: a straight edge held against the wall. Plaster that is out of true costs you at the flooring and the wardrobe stage.
Roughly 23–26 weeks to a completed grey structure, then interiors. You pay against work that is finished and measured, never against work that is promised. The remaining 10% is held until handover.

Most of our clients
are not in Gorakhpur.
They are in Delhi, in Bengaluru, in Dubai. They are paying for a house they can visit twice a year, and the honest truth is that the only thing standing between them and a bad job is what somebody chooses to show them.
So every Monday morning you get the same message: photographs from your site, the material that arrived that week with the bills, what percentage of the work is done, and what happens next week. Not a summary at the end of the month. The same day, every week, whether the news is good or not.
And if you want a picture of something specific — the steel before a pour, the conduit before the slab, the back of a wall before it is plastered — you ask, and you get it that afternoon. That is the whole arrangement.
Your site,
and its people.
On your plot every working day. Sets out the day's work, checks the mix, counts what arrives, and sends the photographs.
Checks steel against the bar bending schedule before any concrete is allowed. Signs off every pour. Nothing gets cast without them.
The person whose drawings the steel is tied from, and who is called when the site wants to do something the drawing does not show.
Your single point of contact for the whole job — money, timeline, changes and complaints. You never have to work out who to call.
