Developer Track Record Framework: What We Look For
A transparent account of our developer assessment process. Three primary factors, five secondary checks, and a clear pass/fail methodology.
DEVELOPER
INTELLIGENCE.
We assess developers before we assess their projects. A strong location with a weak developer is not an opportunity — it is a risk with good marketing.
Assessment Framework
FIVE CRITERIA.
Every developer we assess is evaluated against these five factors. Failure on any single factor affects whether we recommend projects by that developer — regardless of how good the location or pricing appears.
- Track Record
Delivery history across all completed projects. Delays, quality issues and RERA complaints are publicly available information.
- Design Quality
Unit layouts, common area specification, architectural quality and build standard relative to price point.
- Post-Possession Service
How a developer manages a project after handover is a strong signal of long-term asset quality and resale value.
- Financial Health
Leverage, liquidity and exposure to other projects. A developer in financial difficulty is a completion risk even on RERA-registered projects.
- Litigation History
RERA complaints, consumer court cases and civil litigation. Public record. Rarely checked by buyers.
