Buildiyo is one of the top residential construction contractors in George Town for owners rebuilding on the narrow, closely packed plots of Seven Wells, Muthialpet, Mannady and Kondithope. Streets are tight, neighbouring buildings share walls, deliveries face restricted hours and some lanes hold water in heavy rain, so we survey the street, record the adjoining buildings and test the soil before drawing, then price the work on an itemised BOQ instead of a square-foot rate.
Replace an older George Town building with a G+2 or G+3 that makes full use of a narrow plot’s permitted floor area.
Shop-plus-home buildings: a trade floor at street level with family floors above, each on its own entry and meter.
Duplexes for the slim plots of Muthialpet and Kondithope, with the stair along a party wall and a light well for air.
Upper floors let to wholesale traders, High Court staff and workers at Central and the government hospital, each with its own entry and meter.
Adding a floor to an older George Town building? We test the footings, columns and party walls before anything is drawn.
Plans are drawn at our Velachery head office, and our engineers cover George Town sites from there.

On a narrow George Town plot, materials often have to be moved in by hand during permitted hours, party walls need careful footings, and a taller building needs more steel per floor. None of that shows up in a flat square-foot rate — your BOQ lists each cost from the street survey, soil report and drawings for your plot.
Footings from the George Town soil report, designed not to undercut the neighbours, then columns, beams and slabs under our 10-year warranty.

Straight answers for George Town owners choosing a builder.
Choose one that surveys the street, records the neighbouring buildings and tests the soil before quoting. George Town plots are tight and share walls, so footings, stair position and site logistics must be planned from your own plot.
Soil, street width and level, the condition of the party walls, delivery access and the approval route — all before the BOQ is written.
Plans are cleared by Greater Chennai Corporation, following CMDA rules. A shop-plus-home building may need mixed-use approval, which we check and file.
Often, yes, depending on the street and approval route. We plan separate entries, separate EB connections and a structure for both uses.
For many owners, yes. Wholesale trade, the High Court, Central station and the government hospital keep tenants coming. Each let floor has its own entry and meters.
We plan smaller deliveries within permitted hours, use mini-mixers or pumped concrete where needed, and store materials inside the plot — all priced in the BOQ.
A G+1 usually takes 9 to 14 months from foundation to handover; G+2 and G+3 buildings and tight-site logistics add time. Your agreement puts a date on every stage.
Yes — visit us at No. 254/3, Sree Narayana Complex, C Block, Spic Nagar, Sarathy Nagar, Velachery, Chennai 600042, or ask an engineer to survey your George Town plot for free.
