When we are in search of that perfect future home, some of the first things we look for – besides the price tag and location – are luxury amenities. We check if the project has a premium clubhouse or that landscaped garden that we can relax in leisure. These no doubt have the promise of a lifetime of comfort.
However, have you factored in the other basic necessities that make your future living in your dream home much easier? Such as streamlined garbage disposal, or an in-house rainwater harvesting unit so you do not have to depend on the civic authorities?
Let’s check out a few essential features that go into making your life smoother in your new apartment. But, first, you need to read up on a few rules to help you understand the necessity of these modern systems.
Know the rules
Rainwater harvesting (RWH): In Bengaluru, the BWSSB, which is the civic body governing water supply and sewerage in the city, has made it mandatory for houses built on land measuring 2400 sqft and more to install a rainwater harvesting system on the premises. This is to recharge the groundwater table and reduce dependence on water tankers, bore wells and piped water supply.
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP): The BWSSB was the first in the country to introduce the decentralized sewage treatment concept. It has made it compulsory for residential projects with more than 50 apartment units to have an STP installed on the premises. This helps the community recycle the treated water and use it to water the gardens, clean the public areas and wash vehicles, etc.
Organic Waste Converter (OWC): The BBMP rule on composting directs apartment complexes which have 50 or more units and gated communities that are 5,000 square feet or larger to ensure they process wet waste within the property. This compost can be used as manure for the trees and plants in the landscaped gardens.
What to look for in your future home
Now that you have a fair idea about the set of rules governing high-rises and large community enclaves, here’s what you need to ensure your new home is equipped with.
RWH: Your apartment complex should have this important feature without which your builder would not have got the approval to go ahead with the project.
So, what exactly is RWH? It is the technique of collection and storage or rainwater for future use or recharge of the ground water table. All the rainwater that gathers on the terraces or on the grounds is collected in an underground sump fitted with a filtration system. The water is filtered and can be used for household purposes as well as for drinking or cooking.
Having in-house RWH can help the apartment owners in so many ways. You must have read about how several houses in the city pay a hefty sum every summer to buy water from water tankers. Some others dig deeper bore wells to tide over the season when there’s a disruption in the water supply. During the rains, not only is there flooding but also precious rainwater flows away in the drains. All these problems are solved if more apartments have their own RWH systems in place.
When you buy your future home from HM Constructions https://www.hmconstructions.com/ , you can rest assured that all of the luxury apartments from this leading builder are appointed with the most advanced RWH system installed.
STP: The STP in your apartment complex should be ready and operational when you take possession of your home. Your builder is responsible for setting up the STP. When the apartment owners set up an association for the smooth function of the community, the running of the STP along with other assets and documents are transferred to the association and then operated by them.
The sewage from the apartment complex is treated scientifically before it is released into the drains. The STP machinery has to run 24/7 and requires specialized or facility management personnel to operate and maintain the STP.
All of the luxury apartment communities that HM Constructions has built boast of their own STPs with an on-ground trained and experienced facility management department in place.
OWC: An on-campus OWC ensures all the kitchen waste is segregated systematically and is naturally treated to be used as precious compost. While it is mandatory, HM Constructions takes pride in the fact that all of its apartment communities do not add to the massive garbage pile in the city and use the organic waste to enrich the greenery on each of its landscaped premises.
HM Constructions believes that all these measures and compliances are essential to building cleaner and healthy communities.
