Building Houses in SriLanka then and now…modern Real Estate

SriLankan Real Estate has changed its’ shape over the years. People’s needs and wants have evolved and are much more complicated than it used to be. Real Estate industry too has changed from its’ stature and some of the new operational methods have made SriLankan Real Estate buyers whether it is a land, house or an apartment the process that they have to go through an easy one.

Earlier people who were interested in the real estate in SriLanka mainly concentrated on purchasing the suitable land. They didn’t mind about the other features likes of infrastructure, facilities available; however they did consider about the surrounding because it was eventually going to be their neighbourhood. Even at the year 1990 SriLanka was kind of an amateur to the real estate market that was going to boost anyway in time to come.

It is evident when we refer to some of the old houses that even the architecture industry was at the relatively new to the country and most Sri Lankans depended on ‘Vastu-Science’ that is still referred and carefully looked into when building houses and buildings in SriLanka. ‘Vastu Science’ dates way back and it mainly concentrates on the good and bad omens that would result when constructing ones’ house; it acted and still acts as a guideline in the construction industry and connects with the old beliefs of Sri Lankan community.

Plan of the house, idea of building it and finally making the decision that you are going to do it are important decisions but one of the more important decisions are the crew that are going to carryout the construction work of your house; whether they are talented, reliable and how long are they going to take to finish the construction. Everyday we see number of construction sites that continue to operate swiftly towards a deadline that at times even almost impossible to achieve; however we also know for a fact that with the technology that was available back then the construction work might have been comparatively slower than today thus I think land owners, buyers of lands, people who were interested in Sri Lankan Real Estate were more concerned about all the process from the start of the construction till the building is completely constructed.

As told SriLankan Real Estate has changed and evolved in different sectors. It was and still is an agents business to close deals but start of many construction companies that cater to individuals’ requirements such as building a house timely and that is not only affordable but delivered in time could be considered as one of the most important changes that SriLankan Real Estate has encountered. Their method of operation is carried out in different manner according to their customer; that is if the customer do own the land he/she can select the available house options from the company or if he/she doesn’t own a land he/she could buy the land and then build their house from the company. This operation could be considered as one of the best methods to construct your house in SriLanka and also could be noticed as one of the major step of growth in the industry.
