I strongly believe that “everyone makes mistakes in their first house construction”. I did it… Many of my dad’s friends did the same in their new building. There is another instance I noticed recently near my house. Right in front of my home office window, one building construction is happening… I didn’t understand who the owner of that building was for a few days. Now that the building’s ground floor moulding is over, I see one guy coming daily for RCC curing....

When we were building our first house, we were complete newbies… We didn’t have many ideas about contractors, labourers, etc.; we simply went with the construction flow. Luckily, one of our dad’s friends helped in most aspects of our construction. Everything went well in most cases, apart from the Electrical contractor. We had a lot of issues and verbal fights with the electrical contractor for various reasons. In short, he doesn’t know much....
