Verity for home builders

The slab is poured, the demand is not raised, and the buyer asks for a tile change. Verity keeps all three straight.

A home builder sells a home the customer cannot yet see, takes the money in stages as the building rises, and hands over a key at the end. Between those two points the customer changes their mind, the weather changes the schedule and snag lists grow. Verity connects each customer, each home, each construction stage, each payment due and each snag, so the next step is always visible to your team and to the buyer.

Verity in one line

One system that knows every buyer's payment stages, every home's construction stage, every extra the customer asked for, every contractor bill and every snag until the key is handed over.

How it runs today

Most home builders know their buildings well and their customers' dues badly.

The building is visible. The slab, the brickwork, the plastering, the paint. What is hard to see is the customer's side: who is due to pay at the next stage, who has paid late three times, who changed the kitchen layout and agreed to pay for it, and who is waiting on a snag fixed two weeks ago.

That information is scattered. The payment schedule is in the sale agreement, in a folder. Stage progress is in the site engineer's head and a photo on a phone. Customer changes arrive by call, by message and in person. The snag list is a sheet that grows after handover.

Delay is the most expensive failure in this business. Anarock counted about 4.8 lakh homes worth Rs 4.48 lakh crore as stuck or delayed in the top seven cities by May 2022, among projects launched in 2014 or earlier. And in August 2026 the Bombay High Court called a buyer's right to interest for delayed possession an independent and indefeasible right. For a small builder, a few homes running late is a real cost.

What most home builders run on

  • Sale agreements and payment schedules in a folder
  • Excel for demand letters and receipts
  • Site engineer's notebook and phone photos
  • WhatsApp groups with customers and contractors
  • Accounts software kept by the accountant

Each one does its own job. None of them tells you that unit 12 reached slab stage nine days ago and the next demand has not gone out.

16 problems, one by one

Where a home building business actually loses money.

These are the situations builders, project managers and sales teams describe again and again. For each one: what it looks like on an ordinary week, what it costs, and what Verity does about it.

  1. 01Payments

    A construction stage is reached and the demand is not raised

    What it looks like

    The agreement says 15 percent on completion of the first slab. The slab was cast on the 3rd. The accountant does not know. The demand letter goes out on the 24th.

    What it costs you

    Example arithmetic: 15 percent of a ₹70 lakh home is ₹10.5 lakh. Three weeks late, on borrowed money at 12 percent a year, is about ₹7,000 in interest per home. Across ten homes it is larger, and the delay is repeated at every stage.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each home has its payment schedule linked to construction stages. When the site engineer marks a stage as reached with a photo, a demand task goes to accounts with the amount and the customer, and the stage stays red on the owner's screen until the demand is raised.

    See the screen
  2. 02Payments

    Buyers pay late and nobody follows up in a pattern

    What it looks like

    A buyer has paid every instalment late by two weeks. Another says the bank loan is delayed. A third promised on the phone to pay on Friday and has not.

    What it costs you

    A home builder funds construction from stage payments. When many are late, wages and contractor bills wait, and construction slows.

    How Verity fixes it

    Every demand has a due date, a status and a record of calls and promises. Verity shows overdue amounts by customer, and by how many days and promises were broken, and creates a follow-up for the person who knows the buyer.

    See the screen
  3. 03Payments

    Bank loan disbursements are tracked on phone calls

    What it looks like

    A buyer's bank pays against stage certificates. The builder must send a stage letter and sometimes an engineer's certificate. The bank officer asks for a document. Nobody remembers which bank wants which.

    What it costs you

    Each loan disbursed late holds back the builder's money, and the buyer blames the builder when the bank sits on it.

    How Verity fixes it

    For each home with a loan, Verity records the bank, the sanctioned amount, the disbursement stages and the documents required. A stage reached creates a task to prepare the bank's document set, and the disbursement is recorded when it arrives.

    See the screen
  4. 04Payments

    GST and receipts are mixed up with the demand

    What it looks like

    For under-construction homes, GST is charged with each instalment, at one rate or another depending on the unit. A receipt goes out without it. The buyer asks for corrections.

    What it costs you

    Under-construction residential units generally attract 1 percent GST if they qualify as affordable and 5 percent if not, with no input credit. A wrong rate means corrected invoices and a customer who loses trust.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each home carries its GST treatment as set by your accountant. Demands show the instalment and the tax separately, and receipts are recorded against the demand so the balance is always clear.

    See the screen
  5. 05Changes

    Customers change their mind and the extra is not billed

    What it looks like

    A buyer wants a different kitchen layout, a bigger balcony door and wooden flooring in two rooms. Each is agreed in person with the site engineer. Nobody writes the price down.

    What it costs you

    Extra work that is done and not billed is margin given away. When it is billed late, the customer disputes it.

    How Verity fixes it

    A change request is a record on the home with the request, the estimate, the customer's approval and the stage after which it cannot be changed. Approved extras add to the customer's payment schedule, and work on an unapproved one is flagged.

    See the screen
  6. 06Changes

    Choices of fittings and finishes arrive too late

    What it looks like

    The tile choice was due before the plastering stage. The customer decides after the flooring is ordered. Finalising it now means a delay or a rework.

    What it costs you

    A wrong or late decision delays a stage, and each delay compounds across the remaining stages.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each home has a list of customer decisions with a deadline tied to a construction stage. Open ones are flagged before the stage starts, and the task goes to the sales or interior coordinator who deals with the buyer.

    See the screen
  7. 07Construction

    The site engineer's progress reaches the owner days later

    What it looks like

    Eight homes in two locations. The engineer visits three a day. The owner learns on Sunday which homes moved and which did not.

    What it costs you

    Problems that were small on Monday are large by Sunday, and a late stage is a late demand, a late handover and a worried buyer.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each home is on a stage board with planned and actual dates. The engineer updates it after a visit with a photo, and Verity lists homes behind plan and the reason recorded.

    See the screen
  8. 08Construction

    Materials arrive for the wrong stage, or not at all

    What it looks like

    Cement arrives for slab work that is not ready. The bathroom fittings are not ordered although the plastering stage is finished. The crew waits.

    What it costs you

    Idle crews and rushed buying at higher prices.

    How Verity fixes it

    The next stages of each home list the materials they need and the order dates. Verity checks stock and open orders against stage dates and drafts a purchase for what is missing.

    See the screen
  9. 09Contractors

    Contractors and sub-contractors are paid without matching the work

    What it looks like

    The electrician asks for ₹1.1 lakh for work on five homes. The engineer thinks it is three homes done. No measurement was taken.

    What it costs you

    Overpayment is hard to recover and leaves nothing to hold when quality is poor.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each contractor has a work order with rates and homes. Payments are made against measured work on each home, with a retention you set, and Verity shows work done, paid and balance per contractor.

    See the screen
  10. 10Money

    Construction cost per home is known only at handover

    What it looks like

    The accounts show total purchases and wages. Nobody can say if home 7 cost more than home 8, or if the villa project is making money.

    What it costs you

    A loss is found when the last home is sold, and the next project is priced without lessons.

    How Verity fixes it

    Costs for material, labour and contractors are recorded against each home. The owner sees cost to date against the budget by home and stage.

    See the screen
  11. 11Possession

    Possession day arrives and the home is not ready

    What it looks like

    The agreed possession date is a month away. Painting is incomplete, the lift is not tested and the occupancy paperwork is pending. The buyer has already given notice on their rented flat.

    What it costs you

    A buyer's right to claim interest for delayed possession is strong. In August 2026 the Bombay High Court called it an independent and indefeasible right of the allottee. A late home becomes a financial claim.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each home has a handover checklist with the possession date, tasks left, owners and dates. Verity shows homes whose date is at risk months in advance, and the reasons recorded against each delay.

    See the screen
  12. 12Possession

    The snag list grows by phone call

    What it looks like

    The buyer inspects and calls out a stain on the wall, a loose switch plate, a cracked tile and a door that does not close. The snags are written on a page. Two weeks later nobody knows which are fixed.

    What it costs you

    A buyer who sees no progress on snags delays final payment and tells neighbours. Repeated visits cost crew days.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each snag is a record on the home with a photo, a location, a trade, an owner and a due date. The buyer's sign-off on each is recorded, and the final payment task waits until the list is cleared or agreed.

    See the screen
  13. 13After sales

    Defects after handover are not tracked

    What it looks like

    Seepage appears on the terrace eleven months after handover. The site engineer has left. The call goes between sales and the contractor.

    What it costs you

    Under RERA's defect liability, a promoter generally has to fix defects reported within five years of possession, without charge, within thirty days. A Tamil Nadu RERA order in April 2026 applied this to cracks and seepage from poor workmanship.

    How Verity fixes it

    A defect call is logged on the original home with the date reported, the photos, the contractor who built that part and a thirty-day due date. Verity shows calls near the due date and keeps the history for the home.

    See the screen
  14. 14Compliance

    RERA records, withdrawals and certificates are done in a rush

    What it looks like

    A registered project has to show progress updates on the RERA website. The project architect's certificate is needed before money is withdrawn from the project account. The accountant is chasing the engineer.

    What it costs you

    Under RERA, 70 percent of the money from buyers goes into a separate account, and withdrawals need certificates of an engineer, an architect and a chartered accountant in practice. A delayed certificate stops the builder's own cash.

    How Verity fixes it

    Registration, updates and certificate requests are tasks with due dates and the documents attached. The progress behind each certificate comes from the stage board and the site visit that supports it.

    See the screen
  15. 15Sales

    Enquiries and site visits go cold

    What it looks like

    A couple visits the show home on Saturday. The sales person notes their number. Nobody calls. Three weeks later they book with another builder.

    What it costs you

    A home is a rare and large purchase, and a buyer who feels ignored goes elsewhere.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each enquiry is a record with the home they liked, budget, loan status and next step. Verity lists enquiries with no follow-up and records the visit, the quote and the result.

    See the screen
  16. 16Owner

    The owner sees the whole business at month end

    What it looks like

    The owner's picture of eight homes, thirty buyers and twelve contractors comes from calls and the accountant at month end.

    What it costs you

    Slow decisions on cash, buying and which home to push.

    How Verity fixes it

    One owner view shows homes by stage, dues and overdue demands, change requests awaiting approval, snags and possession dates at risk, with the person responsible.

The numbers behind it

The numbers that make these problems worth fixing.

From published sources, with the source named under each figure. Your own numbers will differ, and showing you yours is the first thing Verity does.

  • 4.8 lakh homes

    worth Rs 4.48 lakh crore were stuck or delayed in the top seven cities at the end of May 2022, among projects launched in 2014 or earlier, according to Anarock.

    Outlook Business, 2022

  • Independent and indefeasible

    is how the Bombay High Court described a homebuyer's right to interest for delayed possession under RERA, in a ruling reported in August 2026.

    LiveLaw, 2026

  • 5 years

    is the period within which a promoter generally has to fix reported defects without charge, within 30 days, under Section 14(3) of RERA, as applied by Tamil Nadu RERA in April 2026 to cracks and seepage.

    LiveLaw, 2026

  • 1% or 5%

    GST on under-construction residential apartments, 1% if affordable and 5% otherwise, with no input tax credit, unchanged from 22 September 2025.

    Busy, 2026

The Anarock figure is from 2022 and covers projects launched in 2014 or earlier in seven big cities, so it describes the stuck stock, not a small builder's own homes. The court and RERA items are decisions of one court or authority; other courts and states differ. The GST page is a software vendor's; confirm with the notification.

    Your buyer list with schedules and receipts, current stage per home and contractor lists. One hour with each role.
    What you have at the end
    Your live homes inside Verity with the right stage and balance for each buyer, and a team that has used it for a real week.

  4. After go-live

    Operations partnership

    What we do
    Stay on after launch. Review the first month with you, adjust stages and schedules, and set up new projects and homes as they start.
    What we need from you
    A short monthly review of what the numbers say.
    What you have at the end
    A system that keeps matching how the business runs, with someone responsible for it.

Bring these on day one

  • Sale agreements with payment schedules

  • Current construction stage per home
  • Contractor work orders and rates
  • Open snag lists and customer change requests

Your time

About 9 to 12 hours of your own time across the four weeks, mostly in week 1. Your site engineers and accountant need a few more.

After go-live

Nobody is hired to run Verity. Stages, demands and snags are recorded as part of work the team already does, and the reports come from those records.

Sample questions and answers with illustrative figures.

Without chasing

The follow-ups nobody has time to make.

Set once, then they run from your records. Your team still talks to buyers, banks and contractors; Verity makes sure the right person knows what to do.

When

A construction stage is marked reached

  • Demand task to accounts with the amount
  • Bank document set prepared where a loan exists
  • Stage and photo shown on the buyer's record

When

A demand passes its due date

  • Marked overdue with days
  • Call task to the person who knows the buyer
  • Promise date and outcome recorded

When

A buyer asks for a change after the last stage for that item

  • Flagged as not possible
  • Alternative or redesign task to the engineer
  • Decision recorded on the home

When

A snag is marked fixed

  • Task to the buyer's contact to confirm
  • Sign-off recorded
  • Final payment task released when all are signed

When

A defect call is logged after handover

  • Thirty-day due date set
  • Task to the contractor who built that part
  • Fix and photo recorded on the home

When

A possession date is within 60 days with tasks left

  • Home flagged to the owner
  • Plan review task with the engineer
  • Reason and new date recorded

Rules and paperwork

The rules a home builder has to keep up with.

Verity does not give legal or tax advice and does not file anything for you. It keeps the records these rules depend on in order, so you are not hunting for them when someone asks.

  • RERA obligations

    What is expected

    Projects above the thresholds in the Act generally have to be registered with the state RERA, kept up to date on its website and carried out under the Act. Quarterly update deadlines and forms differ by state.

    How Verity helps

    Registration, updates and certificate requests are tasks with due dates and the documents attached, and progress comes from the stage board.

  • Delay in possession

    What is expected

    If a promoter fails to give possession by the agreed date, a buyer generally has the right under Section 18 to interest for the delay or to withdraw with refund and interest. In August 2026 the Bombay High Court called the interest right independent and indefeasible.

    How Verity helps

    Possession dates are tracked per home with tasks left, so a home at risk shows months ahead, and each delay has a recorded reason.

    LiveLaw on Bombay High Court

  • Defect liability for five years

    What is expected

    A promoter generally has to rectify defects reported within five years of handing over possession, without charge, within thirty days. State authorities have applied it differently, so check your own state.

    How Verity helps

    Each defect call is logged on the original home with a thirty-day due date and the contractor who built that part.

    LiveLaw on Tamil Nadu RERA

  • Project account and certificates

    What is expected

    70 percent of the money realised from buyers generally has to go into a separate account, and withdrawals need certificates from an engineer, an architect and a chartered accountant in practice.

    How Verity helps

    Each withdrawal request is a task with the stage progress and the site visit behind it, and the certificates issued are stored.

  • GST on under-construction homes

    What is expected

    Under-construction residential apartments generally attract 1 percent GST if they qualify as affordable and 5 percent otherwise, without input credit. Your accountant decides the treatment for each home.

    How Verity helps

    Each home carries the treatment your accountant sets, and demands show the instalment and tax separately.

Rules differ by state and change often. Confirm current requirements with your lawyer, your accountant and your state RERA.

Who sees what

Everyone sees the same records, through their own window.

A site engineer should not see the owner's margins. A buyer should never see another buyer's file. Each role opens on what it needs.

  • Owner

    Which homes are on plan, and when does cash come in?

    Homes by stage, overdue amounts, change requests, possession dates at risk and cost against budget.

  • Sales or customer manager

    What does each buyer need?

    Enquiries, payment schedules, promises, change requests, decisions due and snag progress.

  • Site engineer

    What is the next stage on each home?

    Stage board, materials for the next stages, contractor work and snags assigned.

  • Accounts

    Which demands go out, and which are overdue?

    Stages reached without demand, GST treatment, bank disbursements, receipts and contractor payments.

  • Contractor or supervisor

    What am I to do and where?

    Work orders, homes and snags assigned to their trade, with due dates.

Straight answers

What changes, and what stays the same.

Keep using

  • Your accounting software and accountant. We agree during setup how demands and receipts reach Verity.
  • Your drawings and design tools as they are today.
  • WhatsApp and phone with buyers, banks and contractors. Staff reply
  • Verity tracks what was said.
  • Your RERA portal login and filings, made by your team or adviser.

Verity does not

  • Raise invoices, take payments or run a billing counter.
  • Register your project or file updates on a RERA portal.
  • Send demand letters or messages to buyers on its own.
  • Give legal or tax advice.

We bring in buyers, payment schedules, receipts, stage status, contractor orders and snag lists from the sheets and folders you use now, one project at a time, so work and collections continue.

  • Google Sheets
  • Legacy ERP
  • CRM
  • One operating environment

Questions

Questions home builders ask.

I build 20 homes a year with a small team. Is this too much?

The same stages, dues and snags need tracking whether you build 5 or 50. We set up only what you need in the same four weeks and leave out the rest.

How does Verity know a stage has been reached?

The site engineer marks it after a visit, usually with a photo. That one tap creates the demand task for accounts. Verity does not decide on its own that a stage is complete.

Does it send demand letters to my buyers?

No. Verity creates the task, with the amount and customer. Your team prepares and sends the letter and records the outcome.

Can a buyer see their own home's progress?

Only if you decide so. Access is by role, and a view of their own stage photos and payment schedule can be agreed during setup.

Can it handle loan-based buyers?

Yes. Each loan is recorded with the bank, sanctioned amount, disbursement stages and the documents needed. Verity tracks it as a task list; the bank and your team do the work.

What if a buyer changes the plan late?

The change request shows the last stage when the change is possible. Past that, it is flagged as not possible or as a redesign, and the engineer decides.

Do you help with RERA filing?

No. Verity keeps the records and tasks that the filings depend on. Your team or adviser files on the RERA portal.

We build villas and apartments. Does one setup cover both?

Yes. Each project has its own stages and schedules, and the same screens work across them.

Who can see my data?

Only the people you allow. Sales sees buyers, engineers see stages and snags, and the owner and accountant see money. Every change is recorded with who made it and when.

What does it cost?

It depends on the number of projects, staff and what you want set up. Message us and we will give you a clear number after a short conversation about how your business runs.
