I got reminded of what Shri Ravindra Waikar , Minister for Housing , Maharashtra
Government , said ( DNA / 16
Aug 2015 ), more than 2 years ago :
" We want to
provide a dream house to everyone by 2020 . We won't compromise on the quality
of construction . It will be at par with that of private builders . We are working on
a mission mode "
That was when I had sent him following suggestion :
Highlights :
# SPECIFICATIONS
* Carpet Area = 400 sq ft
* Selling Price = Rs 10 lakhs ( Rs 2,500 /
sq ft )
# LOCATIONS
* Building Clusters to be located on the
outskirts of cities ( important )
* 100 Clusters of 50 buildings ( each
with 10 floors*10 flats/floor )
# LEGAL
FRAME-WORK

named,
Dream House Private Limited (
DHPL )
# INDUSTRY STATUS

with 100 % FDI thru automatic route
# SPV OWNERSHIP
* 10 % equity by Maha Govt ( in lieu of land )
Maha Govt

House Printing factories
* Interconnection of site offices with HQ , thru VPN
* Blanket permissions ( IOD / NOC etc ) issued in advance
* OC based on certification from Site
Project Manager
* Maintenance of flats thru Coop Societies of each cluster
# COMMERCIALS
* Neither SPV , nor Maha Govt to pay any royalty to WinSun for
transfer of
technology
* Maha Govt to act as the agency for allotment of flats to eligible public
in Maharashtra
thru a " Lottery System "
* Selling Price of flats will be fixed by the Maharashtra Government
once a year , based on
a pre-agreed cost - escalation formula, which
will be explained in
detail on SPV web site
Calculation of
each upward revision shall be made public
* SPV to hand over possession of flat
to the allotee upon receipt of
full payment
* SPV shall not be permitted direct
selling of any flat in Maharashtra

in other States and be free to
sell flats built there, thru Open Market Sale
# ROLE OF WinSun
* Setting up of 20 factories for 3D
Printing of flats
* Assembling of 3D printed flats at sites
* Transfer of 3D house printing technology to Indian project managers /
site engineers / construction workers
# TECHNOLOGY
* 3D ( house ) Printing Technology
developed / patented by WinSun
> WHY WinSun ?
# On 29 March 2014 ,
WinSun constructed TEN , 3D printed houses ( 200 sq meter
each ) in Shanghai, each costing $ 4,800 ( approx Rs 3 lakh ! )
# On 17 July 2015 , using its 3D printing technology , WinSun built a 2
storey villa , in just 3
HOURS !
# WinSun holds 98
patents for construction materials
# For 3D printing of houses , WinSun ,
mostly uses recycled
construction materials
# 3D house-printing
technology saves,
* 30% -60 % of building materials
* 70 % of production time
* 80 % of construction cost
# Egypt Government has placed on WinSun ,
an order for supplying 20,000
pre-fabricated , 3D
printed houses
# In Egypt , WinSun will establish 12 Dream Factories ( to
build pre-fabricated houses ) , within 2 years
These factories will mostly use desert sand as its main
construction material , which was found ideal for 3D printing of houses !
#
In next 3 years , WinSun will set up ( in JV with local parties ) ,
similar factories in 20
countries , including Saudi Arabia , UAE , Qatar , Mexico , S. Korea , Russia , Morocco , Tunisia , and USA
Dear Shri
Waikar :
I am glad that a part of my suggestion
is under implementation by the Maharashtra Government
I urge you to consider the balance of my
suggestions as well
