I have been staying in Gopalan Temple Trees Apartment (D&E block) on Kanakapura Road for almost 3 years now. The D&E blocks were built later than the other blocks. The D&E owners paid separately for BWSSB water and sewage connection at the time of possession.
Till date (2009-2014), Gopalan builders has not provided BWSSB water connection to this block.
The associations for D&E every year has been talking to the partners at Gopalan, even threatening with legal action but to no avail.
I was under the impression that Gopalan was a reputed builder but I am really sorry to say that they do not have any reputation in the eyes of the D&E owners at Temple Trees.
A builder who collects money, earns huge interest on it over 4 years but still does not provide a basic water connection is nothing more than an unprofessional. Moreover he claims to be part of CREDAI. Is this how members of CREDAI provide services after collecting money?
I have many friends who have purchased flats with smaller builders but have a BWSSB connection obtained within 1 month of occupying the flats.
Needless to say my faith in Gopalan builders has eroded and I have advised all my acquaintances who ask for advice to not consider buying from Gopalan.
