# 3 BHK Site Visit Checklist: 40 Things to Inspect Before Booking - Canonical: https://www.shreebuildcon.com/3bhk-site-visit-checklist-gandhinagar - Published and reviewed: 2026-09-08 - Primary keyword: 3 BHK site visit checklist Gandhinagar - Intent: inspect_flat, plan_site_visit, pre_booking_due_diligence ## 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. ## 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. ## Steps 1. Before you leave home: confirm the date, sales contact, gate instructions and parking guidance. 2. Location, approach and site context: check road width, U-turn ease and night lighting if you can return after dark. 3. Sample flat, layout and daylight: measure living, bedrooms and kitchen rather than assuming brochure dimensions. 4. Lifts, amenities, documents and follow-up: ask about average lift wait times and collect quotation, payment schedule and parking letter in writing. ## Ariva project context - Project: Ariva - Location: Opp. Shree Rang Nano City-1, Palm Road, Sargasan, Gandhinagar 382421 - Development type: Mixed development: residential flats and commercial shops - Published inventory: 102 three-bedroom homes and 21 ground-floor shops - GujRERA registration: `PR/GJ/GANDHINAGAR/GANDHINAGAR/Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation/MAA17033/290626/300632` - Project site: https://www.shreebuildcon.com/ariva/ - Note: Verify the latest official project record independently before making a booking decision.

Carry a tape measure and note room dimensions on your unit plan. Do not assume brochure sizes match the flat you will receive. **Q: What should I photograph on a 3 BHK site visit?** A: 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. **Q: How do I test daylight and ventilation without guessing?** A: 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. **Q: Should I visit more than one project in a day?** A: Yes, when practical. Comparing two finalists with the same checklist on the same day reduces memory bias and makes trade-offs clearer. **Q: What questions should sales confirm in writing?** A: 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. **Q: Is a sample flat enough to judge my actual unit?** A: 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. **Q: How many site visits should I plan before booking?** A: 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. **Q: What is the difference between Pass, Watch and Fail?** A: 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. **Q: Do I need GujRERA verification before the visit?** A: Yes. Verify project name, promoter and registration before you travel so you do not waste time on the wrong phase or an unregistered offering. **Q: Can I bring a contractor or architect on the visit?** A: Ask the sales team first. Many projects allow a second pass with a fit-out consultant if you schedule it in advance. **Q: What documents should I collect before paying a token?** A: 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. **Q: How does this checklist differ from the monsoon inspection guide?** A: 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. ## Official sources - https://gujrera.gujarat.gov.in/ - https://www.shreebuildcon.com/ariva/ ## Disclaimer General educational information only.
