As a developer, our primary focus is to meet our customers’ expectations, which is delivering high quality products in a timely manner for which they are willing to pay the fair price. While the modular approach is excellent, with its reduced workmanship challenges, it brings the concept of factory finish to the forefront. However, we do not engage in a modular approach for development of our projects with the sole idea of cost saving.” says Vivek Singhal, CEO, Smartworld Developers
