Sites which are NOT GOOD for Construction :-
Avoid a haunted/dilapidated house: The Plot should not be purchased, if in the recent past someone has committed suicide on it, or if there have been several deaths over a period of a couple of months. The Reasoning – You may psychologically feel uneasy if you happen to know of such a past.
Avoid Plots sold by a person in distress: Such Plots should be purchased only with caution. The Reasoning – You feel psychologically unhappy and guilty, knowing that the Plot was sold out of helplessness and that the previous owner must be still holding onto it.
Avoid Sites near a public place: The Plot should not be abutting any public place like temple, hospital, factory, school, college, Kalyan Mantapa etc The Reasoning – These places will constantly be crowded and noisy. But if they are at least 80 ft away, then the plot is acceptable.
Avoid Sites that were previously owned by a temple or charitable trust: The Reasoning – People are looking for reasons to raise a temple and if it is known that the plot was previosly owned by a temple trust, there will be a lot of pressure to donate it for the temple or charity.
Avoid Sites near smelly places: The Plot should not be near a meat shop, workshop, leather tannery, laundry, shoe shop, dustbins, sewage drains etc. The Reasoning – The stench emanating from these places will permeate the house permanently and naturally not create a relaxed atmosphere in the house.
Avoid sites where cactus grows: The Reasoning – Such sites indicate sandy soil which will not support the foundation effectively.
Avoid sites in which there are lot of termites: The Reasoning – Even if anti-termite treatment is done on the foundation, there is a every likelihood that the termites will not be eradicated completely since the termites form a vast underground network.
Avoid a Plot sandwiched between larger plots: The Reasoning – The owner of the smaller Plot can only construct a much smaller house than the owners of the larger plots and thus, may subconsciously feel ’small’ and overpowered with respect to the neighbours. This can create a feeling of inferiority in the owner.
Avoid Sites with obstructions: Don’t buy a Plot with obstructions like hills, tall buildings or towers on the North, North-East or East sides. The Reasoning – The useful morning sun’s rays will be blocked. However having such obstructions on the West or South sides are considered good as they block the hot western rays.
Avoid plots with an electrical pole or power supply station in the North-East corner: The Reasoning – It is an obstruction and can create harmful electric waves, that can permeate the house from the open North-East corner.
Avoid plots with lot of cracks or too much wet soil: The Reasoning – Cracks indicate dried up clayey soil and too wet soil also indicates clayey soil that does not allow the drainage of water. Such soil is not suitable for a building foundation as it will retain moisture and necessitate extra expenditure for water-proofing the foundation
Avoid Plots with trees: If the Plot is a small one, there should not be trees like Peepal, Mango, Banyan, Tamarind etc on it. The Reasoning – These trees have far-spreading roots and branches, which can cause damage to the building foundation. However, if the Plot is quite big, it is good to have these trees, but away from the building and not in the North-East corner.
Avoid Plots facing a T or Y intersection: The Reasoning – This is because you can see oncoming traffic and this may make you feel a bit nervous or lack of privacy. However, in some cases, as explained below, such plots are acceptable.
