CHEAP
HOUSES ?
At the ASSOCHAM " Smart City Summit " on 10
Feb 2016 , Shri Nitin Gadkari said :
" At a time when only one percent of India's
population can afford a house above Rs 10 lakh , the government is not only
committed to building smart cities but also to offering affordable houses below
Rs 5 lakh
If we make available houses at below Rs 5 lakh , 30
percent people can buy them
Apart from focusing on building smart cities, providing
affordable houses to the poorest of the poor also tops the agenda of the
Narendra Modi government
Under one such venture , an experiment was done in
Nagpur to construct a house on steel structure using 70 % fly ash
The construction cost of the building came to Rs 1000
per sq ft . We will be able to provide a 450 sq ft house within Rs 5 lakh
"
On 2 Sept 2015 , I sent following email to several
Ministers ( Union + Maha ) / CII / ASSOCHAM / FICCI etc :

DREAM HOUSE BY
2020 ?
Shri Ravindra Waikar , Minister for Housing ,
Maharashtra Government , says ( DNA / 16 Aug 2015 ) :
" 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
"
He is referring to planned construction of 5 lakh
" affordable " houses ( flats ? ) , by 2020
No doubt , this is a very daunting task but it is
possible if there is " Political Will " - which is evident from above
statement of Shri Waikar
Here are my few suggestions that Shri Waikar may want
to consider :
# 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
* A Special Purpose
Vehicle ( SPV ) , named,
Dream House
Private Limited ( DHPL )
# INDUSTRY STATUS
* Infrastructure
Industry with 100 % FDI thru automatic route
# SPV OWNERSHIP
* 10 %
equity by Maha Govt ( in lieu of land )
Maha Govt to pass on this equity to land-owners
* 90 % equity
by WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co ( China )
# SHARE CAPITAL
* Rs 10,000
Crores
# ROLE OF MAHARASHTRA GOVERNMENT
* Acquire land (
under modified Land Acquisition Act )/hand over to SPV
* Comprehensive Town
Planning of each Cluster like a Smart City
* Building Design
/ Drawings / Material Specs
* Quality Control
/ Material Testing Lab at each site
* A Project
Monitoring Team at each site / Use of PERT
* Site
surveillance using CCTV cameras
* Make available
land for setting up 3D 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
* SPV would be
free to set up factories 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
As someone has said :
" It is OK to build castles in the air , as long as
you know how to put foundation underneath , later on "
Even if you are dreaming of building 5 lakh castles !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do hope , Shri Gadkari remembered to invite Mr Ma Yi
He, CEO of WinSun ( Shanghai ), to attend the Make in India
Week , inaugurated by Shri Narendra Modi , yesterday , when he said :
" We want to construct 50 Million houses by 2022
There is
no time for incremental changes . We want a quantum jump . Do not wait . Do not
relax "
How else is China able to construct , one brand NEW city
capable of housing ONE MILLION people , every 20 days ! - continuously for past
15 years ! - and for next 20 years !
