Typical sequence if approvals are straightforward:
• Concept + massing: 2–4 weeks
• Design development + BOQs: 3–4 weeks
• Statutory submission + contractor onboarding: 3–6 weeks
Total: 8–14 weeks to mobilize, assuming drawings are complete and local authority timelines are normal. (Process and city bylaws drive the critical path; URDPFI/NBC frameworks govern many ULBs.)

Yes, for standard house permissions in our operating cities; specialized clearances depend on plot context. Note: Environmental Clearance (EC) kicks in only for built-up area ≥20,000 m²; most private villas are far below this threshold. Fire NOC, CRZ or hill-area rules may apply by location.

Illustrative mix that balances ADR and opex while respecting terrain:
• 10 villa-suites @ ~55–70 m²
• 8 deluxe rooms @ ~35–45 m²
• 2 family villas @ ~90–110 m²
Total keys: 20, with small all-day dining, pool and spa shells sized to phase. Validate against market data; India’s organized sector closed FY24 at ~67.5% occupancy and ~₹8,055 ADR, with further uplift forecast toward ~70% occupancy and ₹10,000+ ADR through 2026 in many markets. Your site and segment will push the final mix.

Yes. A common approach:
• Phase 1 (months 0–10): 12 keys, core back-of-house, restaurant, pool, essential landscaping.
• Phase 2 (months 11–18): +8 keys, spa/secondary F&B, event lawn.
This protects cash flow and lets operations stabilize before adding amenities. (Programming approach per standard hotel planning practice.)

For a single-family prefab: design + factory 6–10 weeks, on-site assembly 4–6 weeks for typical sizes.

Tata Steel Nest-In cites builds “as little as 6 weeks” for certain programs, with modular micro-units demonstrated even faster in specific use-cases. Real timelines depend on design complexity, foundation readiness and utilities.

Prefab superstructures are lighter, so foundations are usually shallower RCC plinths/rafts sized to soil capacity; that reduces excavation compared to RCC frames. Utilities are coordinated early; MEP risers and sleeves are pre-planned in panels, then tied into site services during installation. India’s LGSF guidance and MoHUA/BMTPC docs cover design and fixings; vendor manuals specify anchor and connection details

Yes. We scope your ops model during design, recommend a cloud PMS and channel manager, outline SOPs and staffing counts by department, and connect you to vetted operators if you prefer third-party management. PMS selection is a critical success factor for small resorts; it ties inventory, rates and housekeeping into one stack

It depends on FSI/ground coverage, setbacks, slope, parking and sewage treatment. As a rule of thumb:
• 4–8 key farmstay: often viable from 0.5–1.0 acre in low-FSI zones
• 12–20 key villa retreat: typically 1.5–3.0 acres to accommodate villas, BOH, circulation and buffers without crowding
Local development regulations and eco-zone rules prevail; feasibility must test density against by-laws first. (Use URDPFI/NBC as the base, then apply local DCR.)
