Hyderabad and international consultants

Hyderabad is a developing real estate market and is set to be one of focal points of property development in the country. Real estate market has for long been not widely opened or functional. The real estate market here is in the process of transforming in a way that will render it as easily accessible as domestic real estate and all will attract foreign investment and consulting expertise. The evolution of this market is taking place on several independent and essential fronts including the private builders seeking technical, structural and technological expertise from international consultants. Based on current research, major companies like Aliens Group are having international consultants work on their flagship projects; like say, Meinhardt working as their structural consultant or Duffil watts for their traffic management, etc. These consultants as I heard work with a framework and regularly evaluate the progress of the projects.

Given the size, shape and order of these projects it makes sense to collaborate with consultants who have been involved to building such structures abroad.Participation from international experts of design, construction and management will not only help in the construction process but also serves as a testimony to the our continuous efforts to improve our technology and construction.

As I mentioned above Aliens Group, a leading construction company has collaborated with international consultants for their construction and processes.
It has roped in International consultants from Singapore, Malaysia & London to plan, design and shape the futuristic living space called Aliens Space Station 1. Aliens is set out to achieve a unique dream in the form of its first-of-its kind township that uses the most innovative design and the finest materials and craftsmanship, which is why they have sought the consulting expertise, experience and reputation of leading international consultants.

Aliens Space Station1 is a 30 storied building coming up in Tellapur, Gachibowli, having home automation such as bio-metric access, remote access, maid mode, motion sensors etc.

We shall see more about this in the blog posts that follow!

Internationalization of construction industry

Globalization has increasingly involved the internationalization of services sectors as much as of manufacturing, and the various sub-sectors of the real estate industry have been enthusiastic participants in this global surge.

Builders, brokerage firms, consulting and services firms, real estate finance firms and investors have extended their area of operations beyond local markets to a world-wide base.

The increasing opening up of formerly closed economies in the country has thrown open significant opportunities for real estate firms across the globe. Liberalization of business licensing, taxation and property ownership regulations in the real estate markets further facilitates the participation by international consultation and associations in the industry thereby opening up more and more global opportunities

On the demand side, some of the largest consumers of real estate are increasingly becoming global. Multinational firms, with their manufacturing plants, their distributors and suppliers, and now increasingly service sector firms, ranging from financial to legal, have global footprints.

Even residential real estate brokerage firms have followed an increasingly mobile expatriate population into the international arena, building alliances with companies throughout the globe to provide smart homes with amenities ranging from automation to CCTV security cameras, clubhouses, architectural landmarks, townships and mini cities.
Additionally, the emergent middle-classes in Asia and elsewhere with their pent up demand have given a boost to residential and retail real estate activity, providing a new range of opportunities for forward-looking builders and international consultants that are coming together to make building and property development a truly globalized process!

India and International consultants

Indian construction industry has widened its wings from its inception. From brick & concrete building it has entered into the phase of form work, and may more modern techniques. Automation systems, ecological sensitive systems, cost-cutting systems are catching builder’s attentions.

The objective of such an imposition was to develop local design capabilities parallel with the inflow of imported technology and skills. This measure encouraged new age hifi homes in the country.

These consultants are adding colours to the Indian expertise and implementing style in the form of high-rise structure, implementation of home automation systems to bring safety, security and convenience in customer’s lifestyle, going greener…

International Expertise in Real Estate

Ancient or Classic or Renaissance or Gothic or Modern; styles of architecture have ‘defined’ ages. Characteristic features of design and structure, geotechnical and civil engineering expertise have been passed on from one age to another. Eclecticism of architectural styles was a product of observation and theoretical learning; one style of architecture got transported to the next stage or to a different geographical location over time. Globalization invaded the globe, eliminated territorial barriers and created a boundary-less pool of resources.

Globalization has had a powerful impact on Real Estate. Real estate is, and always will be, essentially a local industry. Yet, the lure of globalization and the pressure placed on the real estate industry by its core clientele (young and globally oriented) is looking to globalize by expanding into new markets is forcing new ideas, innovations, and best practices that will lead to a greater appreciation of the global market among owners, users and investors in the real estate industry. Until recently, real estate sector in India only saw a patch work of expertise from indigenous and Global Real Estate Markets. Today, it grasps the unique advantage of having global reach and is cashing in on this by adopting global real estate standards and inviting participation from international experts of design, construction and management.

These consultants offer end to end technological, structural and design solutions and these are made to suit the Indian market and taste. The services range from strategy consultation, business planning, design, structuring exercises and management.

In the late 1960s government started encouraging foreign collaborations in these services. The objective of this was to also develop local design capabilities along with the inflow of imported technology and skills. This measure encouraged international construction and consultancy organizations to set up joint ventures and register their presence in India.

At present, a handful of builders are implementing smart technologies by bringing in international expertise for architectural designing, traffic management, cost management, mechanical, electrical and many such activities. These consultants are adding colors to the Indian expertise and implementing style in the form of eco-friendly townships, high-rise structure, and implementation of high end real estate products to bring luxury, class and convenience in customer’s lifestyle.This blog will regularly showcase the new international technologies and expertise partnering Indian Real Estate Players to provide a world class experience in architecture, design and amenities.
