Queries on wild life resort in Kerala,house construction

QUOTE

Dear Mr Thomas,

My name is Nada Bouchta and I am currently a student in Les Roches, international school of hotel management, located in Bluche (Switzerland).

For our diploma, we have to realize a project on a wildlife resort and our group choose the location of Kerala in India. Therefore we need many information on costs wages and general policies. I found one of your posts on internet about architecture in Kerala. Would you help us on defining more or less the building cost if I provide you with all the material and facilities used?

Thank you for your understanding and time,
Best regards,

Nada BOUCHTA.

Hi Thomas,
Thank you so much for your offer to visit our site and we are excited to work with you. . We have the plan to build a house having around 2500 sq. ft in area. Can you give us a rough idea of your final plan preparation fee and also elevations both two dimensional and three dimensional. How much a detailed architectural drawing will cost.I would like to have an idea of these costs because all these expenses will add with our budget.

with regards
Sojan Alex

First of all you have to understand that involvement of a qualified and experienced professional in your house building project will give you at least following benefits in addition to many more advantages.
1.A design which is appropriate for your site and requirements without wasting even a bit of built up space
2.Maximum utilisation of space
3.Vasthu compliance
4.Cost reduction due to use of structural engineering inputs
5.Traditional Kerala architecture features  combined with modern architecture features
6.Better appearance
7.Cost reduction due to continuous  professional guidance and involvement
8.Use of modern technology,trends and  materials.
All these and more will actually reduce your cost and will give you added value for your building and fees payable for professional involvement are never additional burden for you

Values and honesty are outdated

Look at recent news in Kerala.When we talk of news it naturally boils down to Politics.People get interested in political news mainly because we common people still have a wrong impression that two opposing camps of politicians try hard to serve us, common people and each of these opposing groups and politicians would have made our life simply a bliss of comfort and happiness had it not been for the villainous actions of the opposing camp.

Some how people among us common people who normally do not get chance to pile up Swiss bank deposits,foreign investments,huge investment in real estate while pretending to be simple servants of people think that the side of politicians for whom we feel sympathetic and aligned are doing right things for us.But other group is trying hard to wreck their good deeds.Naturally we feel angry and irritated towards other side.Some times a few innocents among us even go for street fight and killings due to this extreme attachment to that political group to which one feel attached.

Behind the curtain look at what these rival groups and ever fighting each other people do.

When one leader of political party who achieved records by amassing wealth in all forms plenty became over confident and careless in dangling in sexual hobbies,accidently the news came to public view.At that time the opposing political group was in power.Naturally we fools thought that this man will be caught red handed and will be put behind bars.But look at what really happened.Behind the curtains away from views of idiots like you and me called common people opposing group in power did everything in its power and capability to destroy all evidence and judicial proceedings . Opposing political leader escaped unhurt and we common people were forced to believe that all that we heard against him are wrong and could not be proved in any court of law.So this “innocent” man is still laughing madly for continuing to get opportunity to “serve “common  people.

Incidentally another disgraced politician was trying hard to some how get back into his “rightful” place to “serve “we common people even though his erstwhile autocratic ruler father made enough Gandhi picture papers to survive comfortably for generations.Finally his maneuvers are reaching success and we can  hear his  verbal insults and silently watch “without any proof” his efforts to do what politicians always do-amassing wealth.

When recently one of the close associates of the earlier story “great leader” had rubbed with him on wrong side we could hear from media how he did all that we naturally assumed him to do with help from every one that mattered in all forms of powerful positions.

One former Judge simply rubbished the case as” just a case involving  women”(meaning women has no value in this society) and “involving a highly placed person”.On what basis this politician is highly placed? Is it due to wealth illegally acquired by him like all other politicians?Is it due to help and assistance for cover up of his misdeeds received from every politician , officials and even people involved with judicial process?If that is so what will we call almost vanishing tribe of rare species called honest human beings who cannot be purchased,bribed or influenced?May be we can call them fools unfit for living in this earth?
