In an exclusive conversation with CEO Insights, Gayithri unfolds KG Builders’ excellent delivery of diverse construction projects and its proactive approach instrumental in executing urban housing and commercial undertakings.
How has been KG Builders'journey so far and what are your strategies to align with new reforms like GST & RERA?
As the sector is highly regularized, capital intensive and dependent on numerous external factors like availability of labour, materials and political stability, our journey has never been a cake walk; yet, we have carved a niche in the real estate business with our experiential expertise. Our special bond with Chennai has carried us through a successful journey of 38 years. Blending clientele trust with our complete track record, we have evolved as a real estate panjandrum specialized in residential spectrum.
The real estate sector always elicits attention as everyone has an
interest in buying, selling or just knowing their property's value. Currently, the sector is in a highly dynamic state caused by numerous statutory factors, most notably, demonetization, RERA and GST. All three factors will have a positive impact in the long term, aimed at providing transactional transparency and industry consolidation, and we, as a real estate entity are actively embracing these changes in our system.
