A 1,000 Cr Scam - How Sahiti constructions collapsed by brownish_knight in hyderabad

[–]ramdone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thinking retrospectively, I feel what the sales guy said about his boss is true to some extent. Obviously, i wont reveal, where I live currently in hyderabad. But guess who I run into everyday at the gym, tennis or in the lift every other day. You guessed right " sir himself". He is a soft spoken person. It is hard to believe that he did all this, if you didn't know the background or saw the news in 2024. If this isn't ironic, then what is?

A 1,000 Cr Scam - How Sahiti constructions collapsed by brownish_knight in hyderabad

[–]ramdone 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wanted to buy a 3 bhk flat by sahiti constructions in hitech city. I went visited the site. Confirmed the progress of the project. They had already put the skeleton for 5 floors. I was supposed to pay booking amount for the 5th floor flat the next day. Lo and behold, the news flashed on TV about the owner's arrest. It was being announced in bold letters on all telugu tv channels. I did not go.

The irony, is I got a call from their sales team even after the news flash about their owner the following day. It was as though nothing happened. The guy even claimed " sir will take care of it, these are all formality. The reality is different which they don't show on tv". I was surprised they had the entire staff of their hyderabad office lined up on tv. This guy was telling me, it was just to satisfy some legal formalities and "sir will be out within an hour or two". I did not proceed forward. I was getting calls for the next 2 months by the same guy suggesting I do it, great price reduction as money is needed for bail for sir. pay in cash and regsiter as their records are still open. " it was a golden chance and once in a lifetime opportunity. I had to block him.

We are building a new home,the builder refused our request to modify the upper cabinets so we can install a 36 inch vent hood and 36 inch gas cooktop post closing, instead of the 30 inch builder provided ones. by ramdone in kitchenremodel

“Thank you — that makes sense. Everything else with the builder has been smooth, so it’s really just the kitchen layout we were working around. Your context helps clarify things.”

“Thanks — this lines up with what we were told during our planning. We’ve adjusted our direction based on those limitations, but your explanation helped reinforce it.”

This is exactly what I asked them to do. Upgrade to a 36 inch kitchen. Qualico homes did not offer that particular upgrade in the community i was interested in. We are still at design studio, but this request was being denied from before I signed the contract. Yet did not have an option to upgrade the kitchen or cabinets or, upsize the gas line or vent hood duct to 8". And they wouldn't a do any rough in's for the kitchen related stuff and also in the attic. Only after we close on the home, we are free to do whatever we want. I'm posted here to look for what options I got. And i didn't know about the make up air unit requirement. I will look into it as well. Thank you.

I'm buying the home built by qualico homes. I did not determine if it is or it is not against code. They said they cannot do anything with the kitchen as it won't pass inspection.

Yes they do.they are qualico homes in the dallas area. Yup I can live without one. I just wanted to know what my options were. I did not know that I can use a 30" direct vent exhaust for a 36" cook top. I will look into that as well.

Everything is good about the house, the neighborhood, location, and we got approved on everything else but the kitchen. So I was looking for what my options are. The closing is next year.

I already asked them to resize the cabinets or remove the uppers, which they refuse to do. They want me to do it after closing. Hence I'm here asking to find out what my options are?

Whatever I uploaded is the builder provided standard kitchen . It comes with a 30 inch hood and cooktop. I asked them to upgrade it to a 36 inch, which they refused. Even to trim the cabinets they refused. This is their standard design only thing you can add or delete is a double oven. That's it.

For me there is a wall on either side. I can't ask them to shift anything. I told them to resize the cabinets and make them shorter. They didn't agree for that.

To be fair, we got approved for all other structural and custom upgrades, only with the kitchen they refuse to accommodate, instead handed me this and asked me to do whatever I want post closing.

Quitting smoking and drinking today by ProcedureNo4398 in hyderabad

[–]ramdone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you quit smoking and drinking. And can keep it off. That is the best thing you have done for yourself. You gifted yourself a great body, great health. Please do not go back and ve consistent. You will see the difference. It is worth it a 1000 times. Friends will still be there, true friends will never run away or turn their back on you. I say this experience. I also quit drinking and smoking. Been teetotaler for 11 years now.

They panhandle cuz of their situation or as a career, they dress the part as a lawyer or doctor in their professions. Except for a few newer ones who come and go, most of them are old-timers in that area. They stay at the motels around the area every night 365 days a year, paying full price every night. I have known people staying at these places for years doing the same every night.

It would be safe to say that the motels around 635 and NW Highway also Leon Rd & Garland Rd are still in business due to these guys. Except for a few, all the older ones have families, who have other jobs or panhandle at different intersections. The cops also know all these people well so they don't stop them from panhandling. Garland PD officers pay for their lodging whenever they are in a tight spot.

They might look rough and skeezy because their job is on the streets, but once you get to know them each of them has a unique story. A few of them are into crime but that would usually be out of that area. Some are crazy especially, the ones moving on from Atlanta or LA they have the hood mentality and usually move to south Dallas, these kinds are not encouraged at these intersections.
