In the face of the pandemic, Pre-hung doorscan help Real Estate developers to meet and accelerate project completion timelines.

 

The pandemic and the resulting lockdown, the massive rise in positive cases and the unprecedented health crisis that

the country is dealing with right now, has impacted the real estate sector, bringing various projects to a stand-still. Even

as RERA and the central government have announced relaxation in project completion timelines siting the current crisis,

the delay is set to have financial ramifications on the real estate sector. Under such circumstances, the concept of pre-

hung doors and its use in potentially reducing the timelines for project completion, is gaining popularity among

developers.

Apart from helping manage timelines and drive faster completion rates, pre-hung doors have also been helpful to bring

uniformity and international standards of product quality and longevity, easy and efficient installation process and a

range of aesthetic enhancements for doors. Additionally, conventional construction methods also meant that

developers had to deal with multiple vendors for doors, doorframes, hardware, polishing etc. With pre-hung doors,

entire responsibility for service of doors and frames, remains with one vendor, which is easier and more convenient for

the builder, as he is officially liable to take responsible of the construction for 5 years as per RERA norms. For an industry

that suffered with managing un-organised and un-skilled labour for construction, dealing with delays and often

unchecked quality processes, pre-hung doors comes as a timely solution.

Listed here are 4 key benefits of Pre-hung doors that could help developers to not only complete their projects faster

but to also get quality checked and reliable products and skilled and well trained installation experts.

1. Ready to install solution:Pre-hung doors, manufactured in a 100% controlled, factory set-up, are designed for

effective, speedy and efficient installation. Often handled by dedicated installation supervisors, pre-hung doors

are delivered to the site and installed, keeping in mind all SOP’s(Standard Operating Procedures) through the

trained and certified Door installation contractors. The basic principle followed allows to de-skill all the site

operations and get the product ready from the factory in such a way that the doors, frames, andarchitraves set

can be installed easily in less than one hour on site.

2. Internationally approved quality:Some of the leading pre-hung door manufacturers that are gaining popularity

in India, offer doors which comply with all the quality requirements of IS-2202 for its quality performance. From

use of the highest quality of engineered wood material, to use of imported, finest finishing materials like Olefine

foils which safeguard from UV light damage for 5 years, HPL laminating procedures using High Frequency press,

etc., all theraw materials are consistent in terms of quality and performance. Further, use of strong adhesives,

mostly imported from countries like Japan and Germany – countries leading the pre-hung doors design and

concept, allows for longer durability of doors, such that they can withstand the demanding usage conditions of

Indian homes.

3. Uniform and aesthetic product:Since the doors are manufactured in the factory environment, they go through

rigorous quality checks for durability and performance. With uniform and superior quality raw materials, trained

and skilled staff and an assortment of designs and aesthetic finishes, pre-hung doors offers a vast variety of

products. Further, the well organised and streamlined manufacturing process ensures that every product is of a

superior, uniform quality that adds to the overall value of a real estate project.

4. Customisation: One of the biggest benefits of pre-hung doors is the range of customisation available to

developers. With factory made precision, developers can choose from existing product range or request for a

bulk customisation depending on project requirements, which can be manufactured, delivered, and installed in

record time, with the utmost quality control and efficiency, leading to a perfectly finished project.

While most of the above are significant aspects when choosing pre-hung doors over the made from scratch at

construction site doors, the key to this is empaneling the right brand and installation partner. There are currently

several Japanese and German brands in the market which have gained a good reputation and popularity for their

products, finish, and durability. It is not long before these will be an integral part of all quality real estate projects,

across the country.
