Question 3

Does JB Contractor charge for a site visit or estimate?

Accepted Answer

No. Site visits and the first itemised estimate are free across Dehradun, Roorkee, Haridwar, Bhagwanpur, Selaqui, Vikasnagar and Chutmalpur. You receive a written BOQ with material brands, not a single per-sq-ft number.

Question 4

What payment schedule do you follow?

Accepted Answer

Milestone-linked payments tied to verified site progress — foundation, slab, brickwork, finishing and handover. Nothing is released on dates alone, and every milestone is backed by photo reporting.

Question 5

Do I need MDDA approval to build in Dehradun?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any residential or commercial construction inside the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority limits needs sanctioned building plans. We prepare drawings, coordinate with the registered architect and handle the submission and follow-up on your behalf.

Question 6

Is Dehradun in a seismic zone? How do you design for it?

Accepted Answer

Dehradun, Haridwar and Roorkee fall in Seismic Zone IV. Every structure we build uses structural drawings stamped by a registered structural engineer, ductile detailing as per IS 13920, and Fe 500D steel with verified cement grades.

Question 7

Who arranges water, electricity and labour on site?

Accepted Answer

We do. Our scope includes site setup, labour housing where required, temporary power and water arrangements, safety gear and labour insurance for every worker on site.

Question 8

Which areas do you serve around Dehradun and Haridwar?

Accepted Answer

Dehradun city, Rajpur Road, Sahastradhara, Mussoorie Road, Selaqui, Vikasnagar, Roorkee, Haridwar, Bhagwanpur and Chutmalpur — plus project-based work across Uttarakhand and North India.

Question 9

How long does a 2,000 sq ft house take to complete?

Accepted Answer

Nine to eleven months from foundation to handover for a 2,000 sq.ft. house in Dehradun, assuming approvals are in place. A 10,000 sq.ft. PEB shed takes 14–18 weeks including foundation work.

Question 10

Do you provide a warranty after handover?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a minimum 12-month civil defect liability period, and 5–10 years on waterproofing systems depending on the specification chosen.

Question 11

Can you take over a half-finished project from another contractor?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. We audit the existing structure, test what has been cast, document the gaps in writing and quote only for the remaining scope so there is no dispute later.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

Call +91 80770 01382 or send the form on our contact page with your plot size, location and what you want built. You get a callback within 30 minutes during working hours, Monday to Saturday.
