1. Executive Summary

This is a Residential Building Construction Housing Project proposed by M/s S. R. Infracon. The project is

low rise Building Construction Project having built up area 38,798.18 sq.m. Proposing plot (area of

10,667.00 sq.m.) at village Kudasan, Taluka & District Gandhinagar (Survey/Block no. No. 114, 15, 116,

117, 157 & 158 - FP no.47, 48, 49, 50, 79 & 80, Village Kudasan, District: Gandhinagar). The 168 Housing

units are proposed with parking area of about 12,114.64 sq.m., 1094.77sq.m. common plot area with

4.00 m minimum margin on periphery with green belt development area. The building construction will

involve a Basement, hollow plinth, ground floor and up to six floor level having height of 27.85 m above

ground. The building will be constructed as frame RCC structure with brick/AAC work for walls. The Soil

investigation report, NBC norms and relevant IS codes including for earthquake zone are referred while

designing the project. During construction phase, the safety practices will be implemented and basic

needs (water supply, electricity, bathing & toilet facility, drainage facility etc) of workers will be

addressed. The construction materials transportation will be optimally managed to minimize the impact

on noise level, fuel consumption, flue gas emission and dust minimizing measures. Facilities like, water

supply, sewerage connection, power supply, emergency power provision, access road, parking space,

common plot (garden / landscape area), etc are planned and will be provided for tenants.
