Changes in construction work schedule.
Work in the morning and evening. Rest in the afternoon.
Virtual tours to not reduce sales.
The heat is rising across the country. Heat waves are raging in many states. In this background, efforts have been made to ensure that their impact does not fall on the real estate sector. Both the construction work and the sales.
In the recent past, there has been a huge increase in inquiries and sales in the property market. In this context, the developers are determined to keep the same momentum going without slowing down. Due to this, the schedule of daily construction work has been changed. Plans were made to start work a bit early in the morning, finish late in the evening, and rest in the afternoon when the temperatures are high. To this extent, instructions are being given to the workers working outside. In the morning and evening, when the temperatures are low, the work should be done outside. In the afternoon, suitable arrangements are being made for the workers to rest. Also, medical facilities are being provided at the sites. ORS and others are also provided. Steps are being taken to provide clean drinking water to prevent dehydration.
Work like reinforcement, which causes high heat, is stopped from noon to 4 p.m. In addition to Hyderabad, many developers in major cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi are following these. Necessary arrangements are being made so that the workers do not face any difficulties. High temperatures are affecting not only the construction work but also the sales. Buyers are not coming for property visits due to a fear of the hot sun. With this, developers are arranging virtual tours and 3D walk-throughs to be done from home. Also, discounts and incentives are being announced.
