I. INTRODUCTION
II. 1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
1.1.1 ABOUT THE INDUSTRY
Real estate development, or Property Development, is a multifaceted business,
encompassing activities that range from the renovation and re-lease of existingbuildings to
the purchase of raw land and the sale of improved land or parcels to others. Developers are
the coordinators of the activities, converting ideas on paper into realproperty.
Real estate development is different from construction, although many developers
also construct. Developer Louis Lesser drew the distinction in a 1963 New York Times
article, "Developing is the key word. 'We don't build ourselves', Mr. Lesser stresses. 'We buy
the land, finance the deal, and then we have the best builders build under bond at a fixed
cost.'
Developers buy land, finance real estate deals, build or have builders build projects,
create, imagine, control and orchestrate the process of development from the beginning to
end. Developers usually take the greatest riskin the creation or renovation of real estateand
receive the greatest rewards. Typically, developers purchase a tract of land, determine the
marketing of the property, develop the building program and design, obtain the necessary
public approval and financing, build the structure, and lease, manage, and ultimately sell it.
Developers work with many different counterparts along each step of this process, including
architects, city planners, engineers, surveyors, inspectors, contractors, leasing agents and
more.
1.1.2 DEVELOPMENT SECTOR IN INDIA
As Indias construction industry globalises and gets in sync with international trends
and technology, the challenges that Indian construction faces are simple: how to ensure
construction happens with speed, strength and savings. As Indian infrastructure and
construction work on contracts overseas, they have been using newer technology to provide

their global clients with worldclass construction. How do we ensure the same norms,
the same technology gets adopted in India Too?
Consider the current situation, says Sunil Mantri, President, Maharashtra Chamber of
Housing Industry (MCHI), traditional construction meant we used to take everything in
stride. Wastage of time, money and material were a given, there were issues with skilled
labour as also poor material management. One needs to actually save money and time while
getting world class quality,informsMantri.
The use of latest technology and equipments coupled with new construction materials
helps reduce the construction time and wastage of materials is also controlled, this helps in
the completion of the projects on time, says Ashok Chajjer, Chairman, Arihant
Superstructures Ltd. Adoption of new construction technology results in faster and better
quality of construction, cost reduction, low maintenance and cleaner buildings. Construction
using the latest construction technology results in faster completion of the project and also
brings down the cost of construction, he says, adding that the Government should
incentivise developers who buy these hi-tech equipments so that they can finish a project
faster.
This years budget has given impetus on green technologies, which may help achieve
this goal, says Ashok Kumar, Country Head of Global Property Consultants Cressa Partners.
Effectively integrating low-cost technologies within the construction framework to
maximize returns, and updating advancements in technologies to upgrade the existing
systems for higher output, thats ideal for Indian Construction to be in sync with global
trends, he Suggests
We need to look at China, to understand how new technology helps, says Sangeet H
Kumar, CEO of 1stMumbaiProperties. He feels that ideally, construction in India should
follow the China example, where technology has played an important part in building
affordablehomes
From theory to actual implementation, and validation of the concept that global
technology and new materials actually helps build faster, better and safer comes from Aasif
Khan, MD of Fabtech Sterling. There are some issues that are a problem for the
construction industry in India, these include buildings that collapse, buildings that develop
cracks or suffer from leakage or seepage or have paint peeling off. This happens at times
because of shoddy, cornercutting methods of construction. Khans company has brought
into the Indian construction space Plaswall Building System of Construction, which hedescribes as an innovative building option. It enables quick installation, effectively reducing
3

8/6/2019 Feather Lite Real Estate
4/54
construction time by almost one-third as compared to traditionalmethods.
Khan says Plaswall provides perfect resistance against heat and water, and structures
made from Plaswall are far stronger and durable than traditional brick-n-mortar construction.
It is totally crack and leak-proof and requires no maintenance even after several years.
Efficient to install and construct, it effectively increases site production by as much as 300
percent, headds.
So, will adoption of new construction technology actually bring in speed, strength and
savings? Aasif Khan says the answer is a resounding yes. When new construction
technologies such as this are adopted by Indian construction, these aspects will become a
reality.
1.1.3 LAND DEVELOPMENT
Purchasing unused land for a potential development is sometimes
called speculative development. Subdivision of land is the principal mechanism by which
communities are developed. Technically, subdivision describes the legal and physical steps a
developer must take to convert raw land into developed land. Subdivision is a vital part of a
community's growth, determining its appearance, the mix of its land uses, and its
infrastructure, including roads, drainage systems, water, sewerage, and public utilities.
In general, land development is the riskiest but most profitable
technique as it is so dependent on the public sector for approvals and infrastructure and
because it involves a long investment period with no positive cash flow.
After subdivision is complete, the developer usually markets the land to
a home builder or other end user, for such uses as a warehouse or shopping center. In any
case, use ofspatial intelligence tools mitigate the risk of these developers by modeling the
population trends and demographic make-up of sort of customers a home builder or retailer
would like to have surrounding their new development
1.1.4 PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
Property development companies work to provide housing and
commercial business space through new construction and renovation of existing properties.
You can establish your own property management company to provide construction services
or even appraisals to lending companies or home buyers, and you can make a great living for
your efforts. Property development companies benefit both individuals andbusinesses.

1.1.5 STEPS BELOW TO ESTABLISH YOUR PROPERTY
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
1. Learn about property development. Attend your local community or real estate college
for seminars, conferences, and classes that educate you on real estate, business, and
management-related topics to prepare to operate your property development company.
2. Create a business proposal for the first three to five years of your property development
company operations. Detail your startup costs for equipment, licenses, fees, permits, and
employees. Create a list of how much your property development company will have to make
in sales to cover your startup costs and make a profit.
3 .If you need capital for your startup, apply for business loans at financial institutions that
offer loans with low interest rates, such as credit unions. Apply for business loans and grants
through the Small Business Administration and the government, if more start up capital is
needed.
4 .Decide what property development services you'll be providing to your consumers, such
as roofing and repair or heating installation. Begin with two or three services. Ultimately,
you'll add more services as your clientele increases.
5 .Hire your employees. All employees should be outgoing, hardworking, motivated,
determined, easy-to-direct team players. Their duties should include taking phone calls,
confirming estimates appointments, managing inventory control, and carrying out planned
daily work routines. Hire at least one office manager and two employees to help you get
started in building your property development company. One employee should be full time
and the others should be part time. The office manager should be responsible for filing
appraisals and invoices, weekly schedules, opening and/or closing, reviewing procedures,
policies, and requirements for employees. The founder of the property development company
should be responsible for payroll, daily deposits, recruiting employees, training, and
overseeing each customer's account with the property development company.
6 .Hire a certified public accountant (CPA) to oversee all finances, including incoming,
outgoing, accounts receivable, and payroll. The CPA should prepare itemized lists every
month of tax deductions, including fuel, work supplies, and utilities bills. Your CPA should
prepare your annual business tax return. Visit the American Institute of CPAs to find a CPA
in your local area.
7 .Price your services. To price your services, calculate the cost of supplies, transportation,
labor, and employees. Be sure your prices are competitive. Establishing your prices 10

percent lower than your competitors' prices is a good way to build business for your new
property development company.
1.1.6 URBANISATION RE-VISITED
PROCESS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Indian cities have experienced a rapid social and economic change over the last two
decades. With rural migration, thirty percent of India's population lived in cities in 2001. This
figure is expected to touch a staggering 40 percent by 2021. Cities are estimated to contribute
between 50 and 55 percent to India's GDP. Despite this quantitative growth, most Indian
cities have inadequate infrastructure and services to address these needs. Urban local bodies
need to immediately invest in basic infrastructure like power generation, telecom, roads,
water supply, public transport, sanitation, water management and other critical civic
infrastructure. The Ministry of Urban Development has estimated that the redevelopment of
Indian cities would require considerable annual funding. Since funds to meet these
requirements are not available at the level of urban local bodies, it has been essential to create
new means of supporting this initiative. To improve and augment the social and physical
infrastructure of Indian cities, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
(JNNURM), was launched in 2005. It has been the largest urban initiative to facilitate the
redevelopment of Indian cities; sixty cities, with a population greater than 1 million each,have been included in the first phase.
Two main focus areas have been identified in the project - urban infrastructure
governance and improving basic services for the urban poor. Administered by the Ministry of
Urban Development, the focus of the first part of the JNNURM is on infrastructure projects
relating to water supply and sanitation, sewerage, solid waste management, road network,
urban transport, and redevelopment of old city areas. The Ministry of Urban Development
and Poverty Alleviation will implement the sub-mission, focussed on integrated development
of affordable housing for the under privileged, through projects that provide affordable
shelter, basic services and civic amenities

For Excellence With Real Respect For The Environment
The company has been awarded the ISO 14001:2004 certification,

The Codutti adventure began a little over fifty years ago. It was
in 1954, when brothers Arturo, Luciano and Maggiorino Codutti founded the company that
bears their name. The production of interior furnishings on behalf of other firms was the
turning point in Coduttis growth. And in the 1960s, the company accepted the challenge of
creating furniture for the interiors of the transatlantic liners Raffaello and Michelangelo.
This decision not only led to Coduttis signature production of
interior furnishings, but also provided the ideal opportunity for refining the processing
techniques used by the company on natural materials. The development of a unique look,combined with the flawless crafting of metal, wood and leather - the element that

distinguishes Coduttis executive collections led to the production of office furnishings.
And, it all was supported by an approach to manufacturing that embodied a perfect balance
between hand-made craftsmanship and technological innovation .
Soon afterward, Codutti expanded beyond the Italian market
and began operating internationally. At present, Coduttis exports generate the same
percentage of turnover as sales on the Italian market.
The company and its brand have become firmly established
thanks to its business relationships with countries in Eastern Europe. Coduttis biggest strong
point its executive product lines have proved to be highly successful over time, even
though they are considered to be for specialized niche markets. The success of these lines
has enabled the company to differentiate its production into two brands: Codutti for executive
furnishings, and Axilon for operative furnishings and modular wall systems
Fundamentally important to the company are the Zeus, Giotto
and Minos collections, whose unique design was specially developed for Russia and
countries in the Middle East through a series of market studies.
Genesis, on the other hand, is an avant-garde collection with a
contemporary look that reflects skillfully elaborated, refined minimalism. The philosophy
behind the Genesis collection laid the groundwork for a new executive line introduced in
2008 called Progress, as well as for a restyling of the celebrated Master Point collection, and
the launches of three new lines of operative furnishings (Graffiti, Kaleidos, Opera) and two
wall systems.
Frezza SPA from vidor, Treviso (Italy) is an industrial group that
manufactures office furniture and seating systems, as well as home furniture and accessories

loungers, canteen as well as stackable chairs. The LUXY collection is upholstered in high
quality fabrics, leathers and specialized materials.
Founded in the early 1980s by Sisto Marchesini e Luciana Tezze, as a manufacturer
of office seating, its major leap forward is at the end of the 90s as the second generationassumes control of the company. LUXY becomes established as one of the Italys premier
high design seating manufacturers thanks to a strategy of brand strengthening and with the
introduction of highly designed product lines, that bear testament to the attention given to
quality, cost-efficiency, ease of assembly, and environmental responsibility.
Having reached a significant scale of business the three young siblings search for a
financial partner with whom to share the entrepreneurial risk and to attract the necessary
managerial resources for planned growth. In 2004 the ideal partner is found in the Cape
Natexis Equity Private Equity Fund. Cape Natexis Fund is a closed investment fund run by
Natixis-Cape S.G.R. S.p.A, specialized in investing in medium sized companies in
NorthernItaly.
LUXYs management is entrusted to the specific qualities of those that have spear-
headed its growth, the second generation Marchesini: Cinzia marketing and sales, Gianluca
finance and product strategy, Otello manufacturing and industrial operations, guided by the
design and creative leadership of Stefano Getzel, as Director of Design.
LUXY has positioned its products in the more demanding A&D market sectors,
addressing the rationalization of industrial costs, constant product development, with an
openness towards specific client requirements, after sales client service, guaranteeing a
product offering that is conformant to international safety and ergonomic standards. The
product strategy that has generated its collection, presiding distribution channels less exposed
to price driven competition, and the continuous enrichment of its product range with new
ideas, new product lines and variants has allowed LUXY not only to contrast the general
downturn of the market in the last 10 years, but to post a consolidated median growth rate of
more than 20%.

2.1 RESEARCH PROBLEM
It is one of the firststatementsmade in any research paperand, as well as defining the
research area, should include a quick synopsis of how the hypothesis was arrived at.
Operationalization is then used to give some indication of the exact definitions of the
variables, and the type of scientific measurements used.This will lead to the proposal of a
viable hypothesis. As an aside, when scientists are putting forward proposals for research
funds, the quality of their research problem often makes the difference between success and
failure.

2.4 RESEARCH DESIGN
Exploratory research is a type ofresearch conducted for a problem that has not
been clearly defined. Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data
collection method and selection of subjects. It should draw definitive conclusions only with
extreme caution. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes that a
perceived problem does not actually exist.
Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such as reviewing available literatureand/or data, or qualitative approaches such as informal discussions with consumers,

employees, management or competitors, and more formal approaches through in-depth
interviews, focus groups, projective methods, case studies orpilot studies. The Internet
allows for research methods that are more interactive in nature. For example, RSS feeds
efficiently supply researchers with up-to-date information; majorsearch engine search results
may be sent by email to researchers by services such as Google Alerts; comprehensive search
results are tracked over lengthy periods of time by services such as Google Trends; and
websites may be created to attract worldwide feedback on any subject.
The results of exploratory research are not usually useful for decision-making by themselves,
but they can provide significant insight into a given situation. Although the results of
qualitative research can give some indication as to the "why", "how" and "when" something
occurs, it cannot tell us "how often" or "how many".
Exploratory research is not typically generalizable to the population at large.
2.5 SAMPLING DESIGN
Sampling is that part of statistical practice concerned with the selection of a subset of
individuals from within a population to yield some knowledge about the whole population,
especially for the purposes of making predictions based on statistical inference.
Researchers rarely survey the entire population for two reasons the cost is too high, and the
population is dynamic in that the individuals making up the population may change over
time. The three main advantages of sampling are that the cost is lower, data collection is
faster, and since the data set is smaller it is possible to ensure homogeneity and to improve
the accuracy and quality of the data.
Each observation measures one or more properties (such as weight, location, color) of
observable bodies distinguished as independent objects or individuals. In survey sampling,
survey weights can be applied to the data to adjust for the sample design. Results from
probability theory and statistical theory are employed to guide practice. In business and
medical research, sampling is widely used for gathering information about a population.[1]
In this research process, sampling designs formed as follows. This research process based on
the real estate sector specially flat promoters and also this research done is based on the
competitors of Featherlite developers, Chennai. Vaikuntam at Urapakkam is the first
residential project for Featherlite developers in , Chennai . The sampling design is focussedon the GST road as sampling Unit. The universe is based on the builders in TamilNadu. And

the sample population is Builders in Chennai. Sample size is builders in GST road. In this
sampling design the builders are grouped into middle and high level, that its their focussing
of customers on basis of high level and low level amenities.
According to this research process the suitable sampling method is CLUSTER SAMPLING
method. Because the samples are formed, grouped, designed, clustered according to the
place, location, price, specification, amenities etc. So the appropriate sampling method for
this research process is Cluster sampling method.

The research process is full of competitor analysis of real estate sector in GST road.
In accordance with research process and sample data , i have analysed the various factors of
real estates which indulged to price hike, increase the level of satisfaction ,and also this
research clearly defines how the real estate promoters market their product and also how the
promoters satisfy the customers .
Before establishing a real estate project , the promoters have an eye on land in the
aspects of connectivity, area development, commercial activity , educational facilities ,
industrial development , agricultural development and also the promoters have an eye on
water level, soil test and the area availability.
After seeing this facilities the promoter take a next step for construction , the
promoters made a plan to construct what type of buildings on the basis of area , soil and
space availability and the promoters plan to conduct a survey on the area to analyse the
demand of customers . Before finalising the floor plans, apartment plans the top management
of promoters ask for expert opinion about the designs ofinteriors and optimised of utility of
interior space which are demanded by the customers in the market .
After getting the expert opinions and salesexecutive opinion and market analysis , the
top management would go for purchase division to analyzing the overheads like
manufacturing cost, material cost , labourcost and other expenses . The top management of
real estate company go for financial plan for investment and the top management should fix
what type of amenities , specifications availed by the customer through our product . And
also the promoters fix the profit margin and ROI.
The Promoters organise the launching event for the promotion of the product and also
the promoters give discounts , offers on the launching day .And also the promoters planned to
generate the leads in the following manner
Normally the product of promoters is luxurious and high cost product and the product
category lies on PULL strategy of marketing . According to this strategy the product is pulled
by the customer not pushed by the manufacturer. According to the product the customers are
in the extreme timing respondent that is the customers are taking enough time to make their
decision and also the customer are feeling the product(flat, land)are a lifetime or long term
investment . So customers are keen on spending their money in correct and sophisticated
products.

According to the customers interest the promoters should know the demands of the
customer and also the promoters should develop their product as customer liking product , it
grab attention of customers towards brand loyalty and high level of satisfaction . The brand

finishing, interior decorations, outer finishing, proper possession, good specification , use of
high quality goods, Amenities provided and proper maintenance , no complaints for long
lasting of the product , location , connectivity, commercials , pricing etc.

This chart shows that price range of flats in various areas and also from the above graph and
table we have analysed that price of flats located far from the GST road /inside areas are
quoted less price and the projects located on GST road and nearer to city are quoted above
RS 3500 .And also this chart and graph shows more number of projects are located in
urapakkam, vandalur . This shows how location is important for an real estate project and
price differs according the location.So Location influence the change of price , or according
to the price the location will change.

4.1FINDINGS
4.1.1 IN TERMS OF PRICE
Featherlite Developers offers a price of Rs 3150 per square feet. It Is less when
compared to the competitors on Urapakkam. In Urapakkam the builders like SIS safa,
Akshaya Beleverdely, Jayam supreme, P dot g are offering their apartments more than Rs
3500/sqrft. As for as Featherlite is concerned VAIKUNTAM is the first residential project in
Chennai. Because of that reason we Featherlite reduce the price of sqrft as competitive
pricing strategy. And also Featherlite developers offers high quality range of products in the
apartments like ROMA for electrical switches, CERA or JAGUAR for plumbing and sanitary
fittings and also featherlite provide lots of amenities like their competitors at very low cost .
Featherlite developers offers ameneties like clubhouse , swimming pool , jogging
track , garden, play area, crche, fragrance garden , Pipe line gas, and the specifications like
vitrified tiles for living, dininig, kitchen, bedroom, and antiskid ceramic tiles for bathroom
and toilets and ceramic tiles for balcony as like as competitor.
By the above analysis part that is from the tabulation and graphs I found that Price of
FEATHERLITE DEVELOPERS is less when compared to competitors at Urapakkam andthe price of Featherlite developers is very less when compared with competitors at
Vandalur.The price of featherlite developers is moderate when compared to competitors on
keelkaranai,M.M.nagar.
Through the statements and Analysis part , I interpreted that
A)At 5% level of significance the price of featherlite(low price) didnt coincide with price
of competitors . SO Null hypothesis is accepted

except centralise LPG system , but some of the builders provide wooden flooring and small
other changes in specification when compared with specifications of Featherlite developers.
But comparatively FEATHERLITE DEVELOPERS provide the same amenities and
specification provide by their competitors , but the price of Featherlite developers is
comparatively low than their competitors.
Because of VAIKUNTAM is first residential project in Chennai for FEATHERLITE
DEVELOPERS , so we adopt competitive pricing strategy , according to the strategy
we(FEATHERLITE DEVELOPERS) provides good quality apartments with good amenities
and specifications in low price
According to the above analysis part, I interpret as follows
Alternate Hypothesis H1 is accepted
There is siginificant relationship with featherlite developers and its competitors on
GST in terms of Amenities and Specification.

4.1.2 PRICE VS LOCATION
Location and price are the one of the important factor which influence the decision for buying
an apartment .Because the location plays a major role for fixing the price for the apartments .
The real estate projects which are nearer to city or city limit will be quoted high
pricing and the project which are on the road sides are also quoted high price and the
project which has well connectivity also quoted high price rather than the price of
projects which are not nearer to city or located inside areas/interior part of the
particular locality or the project dont have connectivity .
The interior part of Guduvanchery and the interior part of kandigai has three real
estate projects and the price is very low , the price range of the projects are starts from
Rs 2200 to Rs 2500 because that area dont have connectivity and also the area is very
interior part of the particular locality
The vandalur has three real estate projects and its price range is From Rs 3700-4400.
Because of well connectivity and nearer to city limit .
Urapakkam has minimum of 6-8 projects Because urapakkam have more vaccent
areas which are on the road and also urapakkam has good transport facilities including
metro bus service and train service and also 24 hrs hospitals , schools , colleges arenear by the area ,The price range of real estate projects are Rs 3100-Rs 4400 because
of well connectivity , nearer to city , high amenities , specifications, quality
The Potheri, M. M. Nagar also having good quality real estate project but the price
range of full amenity apartments is Rs 3000/ sq ft, because of the increasing distance
from the city.
According to the above statements and analysis part shows that the price of real estate project
will differ according to the location, connectivity, distance .
Alternate Hypothesis H1 accepted
There is a significant relation with location and price in. real estate projects

From this research I found that customisation and security needs are the two things which we
are lagging from our competitors .
According to the research I suggest to Featherlite Developers
We have to create a brand awareness among the customers
We have to create more promotion
We have to provide premium flats with fully furnished at a reasonable cost.
Minimum customisation of flats should be considered.
MS grill should be provided for both windows and balcony.
Cross ventilation should be provided.
Flats size should be in between 800sqft to 900sft.
Commercial complex should be considerable.
Clinic facilities should be preferable inside the development.
