 Topic: how to decide need for a basement

Can somebody tell me the pros and cons of building a basement in the house?

I cannot forsee the need for basement in near future but I can affford making it right now--is it advisable to go for it ?

The house to be built is 3 storied with stilt parking as per the current trend--kindly guide-- if I have to choose between constructing the top floor and basement -- which  should be the preference?????

Dear

   It is better to construct basement as there is very high rates of land.

See aricle below.

Hi Kamna,

Not sure of the dimensions of the site, but stilt floor could be a better option given that it is a residential construction. Some points that you may want to consider;

1) Cost factor - construction of stilt floor could be more economical compared to the basement parking
2) Ramp in the basement reduces the car park space where as you can get the entire space in the stilt floor if planned properly.

Regards,
Anupam
