  "summary": "A 40-point site-visit checklist for Gandhinagar 3 BHK buyers covering pre-visit preparation, location and approach, sample-flat layout and daylight, lifts and amenities, and the documents to collect before booking.",
  "direct_answer": "Before booking a 3 BHK, run a structured site visit covering four stages: preparation (confirm date, contact, gate and parking rules), location and approach (road width, drainage, night lighting), the sample flat (measure rooms, test daylight and cross-ventilation, don't assume brochure sizes), and lifts, amenities and documents (ask about peak-hour lift waits, collect the quotation, payment schedule and parking letter in writing). Score each item Pass, Watch or Fail, and pause booking on any Fail until you get a written response.",
  "steps": [
    "Before you leave home: confirm the date, sales contact, gate instructions and parking guidance.",
    "Location, approach and site context: check road width, U-turn ease and night lighting if you can return after dark.",
    "Sample flat, layout and daylight: measure living, bedrooms and kitchen rather than assuming brochure dimensions.",
    "Lifts, amenities, documents and follow-up: ask about average lift wait times and collect quotation, payment schedule and parking letter in writing."

  "faqs": [
    {
      "question": "Can I measure the sample flat during a site visit?",
      "answer": "Yes, if sales permits and the area is safe to access. Carry a tape measure and note room dimensions on your unit plan. Do not assume brochure sizes match the flat you will receive."
    },
    {
      "question": "What should I photograph on a 3 BHK site visit?",
      "answer": "Start at the approach road and work inward: gate conditions, lobby, parking ramp, each room, balcony views, lift lobby, amenity areas and any concern you want answered in writing."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do I test daylight and ventilation without guessing?",
      "answer": "Visit at the time you are likely to use the home. Open windows and balcony doors, stand in each bedroom and living area, and note sun angle, cross-breeze and noise together rather than relying on sales lighting."
    },
    {
      "question": "Should I visit more than one project in a day?",
      "answer": "Yes, when practical. Comparing two finalists with the same checklist on the same day reduces memory bias and makes trade-offs clearer."
    },
    {
      "question": "What questions should sales confirm in writing?",
      "answer": "Unit identity, carpet versus saleable area, parking allotment, payment schedule, maintenance and corpus assumptions, specification inclusions, and any verbal promise about view, floor or delivery."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is a sample flat enough to judge my actual unit?",
      "answer": "Not always. A sample flat helps with layout and finishes, but your tower, floor, orientation and view may differ. Ask for the block plan position of the unit you are considering."
    },
    {
      "question": "How many site visits should I plan before booking?",
      "answer": "Most serious buyers plan at least two: one focused on layout, daylight and amenities, and one focused on commute, noise and document review. Add a monsoon pass if you are buying during wet season."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the difference between Pass, Watch and Fail?",
      "answer": "Pass means no material concern for that item today. Watch means something to document and revisit. Fail means a concern serious enough to pause booking until you get a written response or reinspection."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do I need GujRERA verification before the visit?",
      "answer": "Yes. Verify project name, promoter and registration before you travel so you do not waste time on the wrong phase or an unregistered offering."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I bring a contractor or architect on the visit?",
      "answer": "Ask the sales team first. Many projects allow a second pass with a fit-out consultant if you schedule it in advance."
    },
    {
      "question": "What documents should I collect before paying a token?",
      "answer": "Quotation, payment schedule, draft agreement pointers, approved layout, parking letter if applicable, and any society cost assumptions. Pair with the booking due-diligence guide for under-construction purchases."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does this checklist differ from the monsoon inspection guide?",
      "answer": "This checklist covers the full booking-stage visit — location, layout, lifts, parking, amenities and commercial documents. The monsoon guide adds rain-specific drainage and waterproofing checks you should run during wet season."
