Cookscape – Orchid Design Pvt Ltd as given in writing promises of completing the order in 30- 40 days.

But my kitchen cabinet order is still incomplete. It is not completely delivered as confirmed and not yet installed.

After 4 months i.e. 120 days, I am still waiting for my Kitchen cabinet to be completed, still there is lot of work pending and it is half done.

I am extremely unhappy with this experience.

There is absolutely no professionalism and courtesy shown as response. This was not expected from cookscape as company who claims to be in this business for years. As a customer i have to make several calls to enquire every time to check on the progress.
Mr Prabhakar, Mr. Sudhakar, Mr. Wilson who works for bangalore Cookscape(orchide design pvt ltd) are total impossible and unprofressional people. Mr Raaja from chennai branch of cookscape & their VP/Director Mr. Srinivas– all of these people are fraud and and dont bother about the customer order and exhibit unprofessional and money minded approach. I have all these people phone call details, sms communication and & mails track of the order details & date promised. I can attached all scan & mail communciation as proof as reference

I’m upset with this attitude and in future will not ever recommend cookscape to any of my friends/ acquaintance. I’m puuting this a official complaint on the comsumer forum.
I’m cheated by Cookscape- Orchid design pvt ltd, bangalore. I caution all the people not to and take services of Cookscape i.e. Orchid design pvt ltd bangalore branch

I booked appartment at XS Real on June 2009 when the opened for H BLock and also I paid my cheque that day itself and also I received the payment receipt after 1 month
After 3 months they are coming and say that it already blocked for some one else so I need to cancel your booking
But I already arranged for loan and all .
I lost credibility about the builder .
They not even come up with other solutions
I am not sure How many of them faced this issue .. Please keep in touch with me ashok.srinivasan@isgn.com

Thanks & Regards

I was in search of good 3 bhk apartment around 25lakh for all most one year now.

I was particularly interested in XS Real and approached them during June-July 2008. At that time I was told that there is going to be only 2 bhks and not 3 bhks. After long, during April-May 2009, I found out that they have some 3 bhk blocks as well and block L was open for booking. I wanted L3B but it was already booked. I could not understand why other blocks were not open for booking.

Then I got interested in the G block and had asked a lot of marking guys to tell me know as soon as it releases for booking so that I can book as per my preference. I wanted G3B. But since they were not sure when it was going to open for booking, I had booked I3B for rs.1895/sq.ft. so that I would exchange once G block was open. This was during June 2009.

When the G block opened, I was informed only after a couple of bookings already done and that too with rs.2095/sq.ft. Actually, before the G block was opened to public, some flats were already booked. I don’t understand the transparency here. So I could not get my preferred flat.

At that time my friend was looking for the 2 bhk apartment within 15lacks. Then there was a change of plan with the 2 bhks and so my friend didn’t seem interested any more.

Now, I hear that the 2 bhks are got converted to 3 bhks. Now I am very interested in C3A or F3B but they say both of them are gone.

If a new customer comes and books at rs.2095 and I am also asked to book in the same rate then what is difference between us. I have continuously followed up with them from the beginning on the Amity project and have also booked a flat, with the then price of rs.1895, temporarily as per their suggestion so that I can exchange it as per my preference when they release all the blocks.

So, every time I am forced to change my preference as per their release of blocks, plan changes and sudden unavailability. This is very disappointing as I am supposed to choose my flat and not them. I have kept calling them to get the latest updates so that I can first in queue but all in vain.

My family and I are really disappointed with XS Real as even after my regular request to them and continues touch with them (to be the first in queue so that I could take the preferred home), I still didn’t get a home as per my preference.

I don’t think other promoters make so many changes in plan, release just 150 houses (500 or more house is understandable) in phases at different prices in the span of few months and make it difficult for the customer to choose his preference.

Now, I am not being given preference to book the blocks I want (F3B or C3A) and at rs.1895/sq.ft.

Thanks,

We are yet to receive clearance from MLPA. This is because of one common issue pending between all Developers of Chennai and the Government. We refer to payment of Infrastructure and Amenities charges which amounts to Rs.500/- per Sq.mtr or Rs. 46.50Ps/ per sq.ft to the government. Please refer to the article link here: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4641934.cms

As you can make out from the article, CREDAI [Confederation of Real Estate Developers in India] which represent the developers has gone to court challenging the collection of Infrastructure and amenities charges. The Chennai High Court has stayed the collection of Infrastructure Charges, and currently the case stands adjourned.
We expect some development in the next three weeks.
• If the High Court gives verdict in favor of CREDAI there will be no Infrastructure Charges payment, we will receive planning permit from MLPA and will start construction –by the first week of August 2009.
• If High Court gives verdict in favor of the government then we will pay the necessary Infrastructure charges, collect the planning permit from the MLPA and proceed with the construction as planned by first week of August, 2009. In such an eventuality we shall be constrained to collect the fee of Rs.50/ per Sq.ft from you and pass it on to the Government.
• If the case gets further adjourned / delayed/ or not decided, then also, we shall pay the requisite fee, collect the planning permit and proceed with the construction as scheduled, by first week of August 2009. This is because we have a delivery schedule to meet and can ill afford to wait endlessly for the Infrastructure fee issue to be sorted out.
Ingly,we are presently waiting for Planning Permit clearance patiently because we wish to save our customers Rs.50/- per sq. ft but if there is further pussyfooting from the Government, we intend to get on with the construction on the date mentioned above.

I shall be sending a similar communication to all our FairSquare customers today.
With the reference numbers given above you are free to check out with DTCP itself.
Ingly, as on date let me assure you that Amity is a great and safe buy.
Taking the market situation into consideration we had offered a bargain price of Rs 1895/- per sq.ft. I think for a property on the OMR, for the quality offered, for the design and for the completion period (fourth quarter of 2010) this is a fine price. (This is strictly my opinion-please do not mistake it for any promotion.)
Let me also tell you that this price is unsustainable and we will be increasing it shortly.
True to our values, I have attempted to answer your question as honestly as possible. Any errors in understanding, comprehension and explanation are solely mine.
Warm Regards,

Suresh
