• Can I construct the house in a gated community (Villas) from other builder

Hi Team

I had purchased a land from an Individual (I) in a gated community. In that gated community Builder is selling the Villas (Land + Construction) and plots are not sold separately.

Question is, now I have a piece of land in that gated community, can I go ahead and hire another builder to construct as per the exterior elevation agreed with the Builder. Is the builder can stop doing construction from other builder. If I can construct, what are the documents need to be signed with the builder. 

Thanks

In what circumstances that other builder can stop the said work.  The whole gated community land doesn't belong to the earlier builder.  You can go ahead with the construction with new builder

1) since plots are not sold separately you have to engage said builder to carry on construction 

 

2) builder would not grant you NOC to get construction done form other builder

Once the sale is executed and registered you become its exclusive owner and you can occupy and enjoy it in your own choice.

So you can engage any builder of your choice to make constructions on the land. 

So your seller can not stop you from hiring a developer from outside to raise constructions.

If he does you have got enough remedy to restrain him from doing so.

There is no legal compulsory hire only the prescribed builders or construction company and in case you find any objection from the society then you can approach to the court to get stay order in this regard

If you have purchased the plot and it falls within the gated community which is legally not binding you, then you may proceed with the proposed construction through your own builder by entering into an agreement to construct with the builder of your choice.

If the existing builder objects to this, you may ignore his objections and ask him to approach court with the reasons for his objections which can be challenged properly on the basis of the prevailing circumstances and facts of the case.

In case of any further doubt you may consult an experienced lawyer in the local for his suggestions and opinion.

You are free to hire another builder to construct house. Builder cannot resist, You are absolute owner of land. If builder object , You can file police complain. Normal construction agreement will execute detailing mode of payment, period of construction and construction plan.

1.  IF the original agreement says that construction must be done ONLY thru the registered builder, THEN you do not have any options.

2.  HOWEVER, you can raise a dispute on the quality of the construction and the cost of the construction and no-confidence in the registered builder via a proper legal notice and after this appoint your own builder or do the construction yourself using independent contractors (instead of builders)
