Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
1. What is the step-by-step process for participating in your Self-Sustainable City project?
Please refer to our Work Process page for a detailed, step-by-step outline of how you can participate in our Self-Sustainable City project. The journey is designed to be simple, flexible, and aligned with your comfort and pace.
2. What distinguishes your projects from other real estate developers?
We are not conventional real estate developers. Our project is part of a broader movement led by Ramakrishna Surathu—an initiative rooted in sustainability, personal freedom, and self-reliance. Unlike commercial builders focused purely on profit, we operate from a space of purpose, not pressure.
There are thousands of builders, contractors, and construction companies. So why should you choose us?
Radical Transparency: We are the only firm that openly discloses our Developer Margin—in other words, you’ll know exactly how much we earn from your project. Most firms hide this; we believe honesty builds trust. You deserve to know what you’re paying, what you’re getting in return, and where your money is going.
No Bank Loans Pressure: Unless you choose otherwise, we eliminate the middlemen—no banks or forced EMIs. You can make payments in flexible installments as your project progresses. We work at your pace without pressuring you financially. This approach empowers you to build debt-free, on your terms.
Balanced Mission: We're not for-profit in the conventional sense, but we also don’t pretend to be a non-profit. We believe in fair service for fair returns—you deserve the right product and service, and we deserve an honest profit margin. That’s integrity.
We don’t push people to buy or invest. Instead, we raise awareness and provide a clear path for those who share our values to join us. We respect local laws and believe in freedom with responsibility—offering you a chance to build your future on your terms.
2A. Why do you say you're different from other developers in terms of transparency and trust?
Because we openly disclose our Developer Margin—something virtually no one else does. With us, you’ll know exactly how much we earn, and where your money is going. We also allow you to release payments in flexible stages, without any pressure. No hidden fees. No loan traps. Just honest work at your pace, built on shared values.
3. How does sustainability influence your housing projects?
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our Sustainable City homes use eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient design, while the Self-Sustainable City goes a step further—offering homes with integrated food forests and off-grid infrastructure, promoting a lifestyle that’s independent, regenerative, and climate-resilient.
Owning and Purchase
4. How can I own a home in one of your projects?
It’s simple. Visit our Own a Home page for detailed instructions. If you face any difficulty, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to guide you.
5. Are there financing options available for homebuyers?
We promote debt-free living as a core value. Our goal is to help you build a sustainable life free from loan burdens. That said, if you choose to take a loan, you must arrange it independently through banks or financial institutions—we neither provide nor assist with financing.
For land purchases, full payment must be made upfront directly to the landowner, as the land is owned by third parties and not by our firm.
6. What are the costs associated with your services, and how do you charge for your work?
We charge a Developer’s Share—a transparent percentage of the total cost involved in developing your land, home, and food forest. This fee covers our efforts in project coordination, land acquisition, construction support, and overall development management.
We do not handle or hold customer funds. All payments are made directly by you to third-party landowners, laborers, material suppliers, and service providers. Our role is to approve those payments only after verifying quality, ensuring your money is spent wisely and safely. For more details, please visit our Firm page.
7. Can I visit the site and get a tentative project completion date before booking?
Yes. Please visit our Own a Home page to explore location options and current development status.
Sustainability Features
8. What sustainable features are integrated into your housing projects?
We take a practical and natural approach to sustainability.
In the Sustainable City, expect solar energy, rainwater harvesting, recyclable materials, and passive cooling designs.
In the Self-Sustainable City, we go further—offering maintenance-free food forests using permaculture and natural farming, ensuring homes support long-term environmental harmony.
Community and Lifestyle
9. How do your projects contribute to community development?
Unlike typical residential communities built around shared infrastructure, we empower individual freedom and resource independence. Each home has its own food-growing system, renewable energy, and water solutions.
That said, a natural community emerges—formed not by shared obligations, but by shared values. People who care about sustainable living, freedom, and nature will naturally find connection here. We offer essential shared amenities, but never force collective dependence.
