For the first time home buyers are going to construct their own home inspite of paying the developer for it. More than 150 aggrieved home owners of the Unitech Residences project in Sector 33, have volunteered to work every weekend with the labour at the project site to ensure that their dream home is completed. Each one of these buyers has paid over Rs 45-55 lakh to the builder.
Most of the home owners are professionals with an average of 15-18 years of work experience, some of whom are working with leading MNCs, banks, financial institutions, IT and automobile companies have all come together to work as labour at the site so that they can move into their dream home.
Depending on their individual apt for physical endurance some of them have volunteered to undertake painting, plastering the walls, in spite of being unskilled in these fields. The customers have come forward to train under the skilled labour and will then work independently and eventually supervise the skilled labour every weekend.
This unusual protest and solution has shown light for these owners, who have been waiting for over 5 years for their home.Unitech has been telling the buyers that there is a shortage of labour at the site.
