Building a Prefab Villa in the Hills with Nest-In
The Case
A family in Delhi was looking for the perfect place to call home. Located in the scenic Aravalli Hills, they wanted to use their new abode not just for the occasional weekend getaway, but more often, as a second home. At first, they explored conventional construction options, such as using wood, or continuing with their existing traditional structure and simply adding some features to it. However, they discovered Tata Steel Nest-In, and decided to go ahead with Nestudio, our premium prefabricated steel-based housing solution, which is a faster and more durable option.
The Challenges
The customer’s project had certain challenges that needed to be dealt with carefully and with a lot of attention to detail. These challenges were:
- Termites: The customer was very keen on a wood-looking finish. However, he was worried about the termite infestation in Delhi, and wanted a house that was termite-resistant and durable for a long period of time.
- Time: The customer did not have the time to pursue their home-building project for a traditional time period of 6 to 12 months, and needed a quick solution.
- Customisation: Our customer wanted various customisations in their new home, and was looking for an implementation partner that could be trusted to employ high-quality materials and processes.
- Hassle-Free Turnkey Solution: The customer was a senior leader in a corporate firm, and thus did not have the time to get into the management of the project. Therefore, he was looking for a construction partner who could provide end-to-end solutions with an expert and trustworthy team.
The Nest-In Solution
Nest-In’s prefabricated houses are faster, safer, and sturdier than traditional construction practices, thus serving as the ideal solution for our customer’s needs, especially in this hilly terrain.
- Steel-Based Structures: Nest-In offers steel-based housing solutions. In locations where the usage of real wood for houses can be an issue, Nest-In provides a steel-based solution with a wooden finish that looks exactly like wood but is steel at its core. This solution is termite-resistant, water-resistant, and more.
- Faster Construction: Nest-In’s construction processes are 2x faster than traditional or Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) building processes. This is because the prefabricated components are manufactured to precision in a factory-controlled environment, and are transported to the site for final assembly. This means that the prefab construction process is not dependent on external weather conditions (i.e. even if it’s raining outside, the components can still be fabricated safely inside the factory), and extensive availability of transport and labour, as opposed to RCC construction.
- Offering 100% Customisation: Nest-In offers a large variety of customisations, from overall design, look, and feel, to particular elements like tiles, windows, and doors.
- End-to-End Solutions: Nest-In's expert teams provide easy and hassle-free turnkey solutions. Our teams conduct surveys at the project site and ensure compliance with other requirements, maintain well-coordinated communication, and are constantly in touch with the customer to ensure that the project is in line with their expectations.
- Trust of Tata Steel: Nest-In’s prefab structures are built with the trust and strength of Tata Steel. Other construction material used like fibre-cement and gypsum boards are of the highest quality.
The Outcome
Our team of experts designed, implemented, and executed the customer’s prefab villa in the Aravalli Hills within the promised time frame and with great professionalism and attention to detail.
- The project was completed in a record time of 4 months – much faster than the time taken for a traditionally built house.
- We put up termite-free planks on the interior and exterior façade of the villa to solve the issue of termites.
- We erected an L-shaped cross-gabled roof for the house, which was a new achievement for our team. We took on this unique requirement by ensuring that necessary knowledge transfer took place for us to efficiently execute the cross-gabled roof as per the customer’s need. (A gabled roof is a triangular roof, like a mountain peak. A cross-gabled roof is two intersecting gabled roofs erected on both sides of an L-shaped house.)
- We also designed the villa such that a specific tree on the customer’s property was integrated onto the front porch, adding to the unique aesthetic of the house. At Nest-In, we always design the layouts of our prefab buildings such that no trees need to be cut, as sustainability is at the heart of our prefab construction processes.
- The interiors of the villa were made of high-quality materials and accessories, resulting in rooms that looked premium and elegant.
- An end-to-end hassle-free turnkey solution was delivered to the customer.
Customer Feedback
Our customer and his family were extremely happy that their new prefab home was completed in such a short time span. They were also pleased with the quality of the materials used and the finish of the house, so much so that they called their home ‘their heaven on Earth’.
This project was supposed to be a holiday home for them. However, the result surpassed their expectations to such an extent that they decided to turn it into a rental home. The villa looked very aesthetically pleasing and luxurious, so the customer listed it on Airbnb, and when they don’t live there, it serves as a vacation destination, and is currently doing great in business.
