Buildiyo is among the best residential builders in Chetpet for owners replacing an older house on the larger plots off Harrington Road, McNichols Road and Spur Tank Road. Streets nearer the Cooum and the lake can hold water in heavy rain, so we test the soil and survey the street level before drawing, then price the new home on an itemised BOQ rather than a square-foot rate.
Rebuild an older Chetpet house as a G+1 or G+2, planned to the floor area your plot allows and the garden you want to keep.
Stilt-parking villas for the wide plots along Harrington Road, with the plinth set from a level survey.
Duplexes for the smaller plots off Poonamallee High Road, with stair, parking and daylight on one drawing.
Upper floors let to professionals working in Egmore and Nungambakkam, each with its own entry and meter.

Answers to what Chetpet homeowners ask before signing a builder.
Pick one that tests the soil, checks the existing structure and surveys the street level before quoting. Some Chetpet streets nearer the Cooum can hold water in heavy rain, so the plinth and foundation must be designed from your own plot.
Soil, setbacks, the street level and the approval route, plus any trees you want to keep. We settle these before writing the BOQ.
Greater Chennai Corporation approves the plan, with CMDA rules applying to larger buildings. We prepare and submit the drawings.
Usually, yes. We mark the trees you want to keep before design, place footings and the driveway around their roots, and protect them during construction.
For many owners, yes. Offices in Egmore and Nungambakkam, Chetpet station and the metro on Poonamallee High Road keep demand steady. Tenant floors are given a private door and their own meters.
That depends on the soil report. Firm ground usually takes isolated footings; softer or wetter ground nearer the Cooum may need deeper footings or a raft.
Plan on 9 to 14 months for a G+1 from foundation to handover; larger homes with stilt parking or a lift take longer. Every stage carries a date in your agreement.
