Evaluating a builder is about assessing the likelihood that what is promised will be delivered. No single signal settles it; the picture comes from reading several together.
1. Start with the RERA record
Confirm the builder's projects on the state RERA portal. Look at whether projects are registered, whether quarterly updates are filed, and how often declared completion dates have been revised.
2. Read the delivery history
A builder's past delivery is the most useful indicator of future delivery. Where disclosed, review whether prior projects were completed on time and to the approved plan.
3. Assess disclosure quality
A builder who discloses fully and consistently is generally easier to trust than one who is vague. The willingness to answer specific questions in writing is itself a signal.
4. Use the Trust Score as one input
Where a builder participates on the platform and holds a right of reply, Propvidhi publishes a Trust Score, expressed as "our assessment, based on the disclosed data, is X out of 100". For builders who have not consented, only public RERA facts are shown, with no numeric score. Read the published methodology to understand the factors and weights.
5. Confirm independently
A Trust Score and a delivery history are starting points, not substitutes for your own checks. Verify the RERA number yourself and confirm the Occupancy Certificate before possession.
The goal is a considered judgement built from several signals, not reliance on any one of them.
