Handover inspection for Purva Atmosphere
A high-rise apartment development of more than thirty floors off Thanisandra Main Road in north Bangalore, close to Manyata Tech Park. We inspect units here independently, before you sign possession — 200+ checkpoints, thermal imaging included, and a snag report a builder’s site team can act on.

What matters most in a high-rise tower
Purva Atmosphere is a high rise development, and that changes where problems show up. These are the checks our engineers weight most heavily here.
- External façade and expansion joints — the commonest route for water into upper-floor flats.
- Window and balcony door seals, tested under spray, since wind-driven rain at height behaves nothing like it does at ground level.
- Plumbing stack pressure and drainage fall, which change materially with the height of the column above your unit.
- Common-area fire provisions: staircase pressurisation, sprinkler coverage, and whether the refuge floor is actually clear.
- Lift shaft finishing and door alignment on your floor.
- Thermal imaging across ceilings and shared walls to find moisture behind finished surfaces before it stains.
What we watch for in Thanisandra
Predominantly new and recent high-rise apartment towers, with older village settlements interspersed between the projects.
Expansive soil beneath tall towers
North Bengaluru's black cotton soil demands foundations taken to firm strata. Where that was compromised, differential settlement appears as diagonal cracking at door and window corners.
Handover snags from compressed schedules
Towers finished against hard possession deadlines routinely hand over with hollow tiles, misaligned doors and untested electrical points.
High-rise water pressure imbalance
Upper floors run at inadequate pressure while lower floors run at excessive pressure that damages fittings. We test at the tap rather than assume.
Storm drainage in newly built-out areas
Rapid construction has outpaced drainage. We check site levels and external drainage against the surrounding road network.

Questions buyers at Purva Atmosphere ask
Can I get an inspection done at Purva Atmosphere before I take possession?
Yes. The best time is after the builder declares the unit ready but before you sign the possession documents, because outstanding items are far easier to get rectified while handover is still open. We inspect independently — we are not empanelled by any developer.
How long does an inspection at Purva Atmosphere take?
Most units take three to four hours on site depending on size, and the full report reaches you within 24 hours. For a flat in Thanisandra we usually schedule a single visit, plus one free re-inspection if you take it within 30 days of the inspection.
Does the report work for raising snags with Puravankara?
That is what it is built for. Every finding is photographed, located and written so a builder's site team can act on it, and the report includes a RERA Section 14(3) rectification letter you can send to the developer.
How much does a home inspection cost in Bangalore?
HomeGyan inspections start at ₹5,999 for new handover and resale properties, and ₹2,999 for an annual maintenance check. Most Bangalore inspection firms charge ₹8,000–₹20,000 for comparable scope. Thermal imaging and the RERA rectification letter are included at no extra cost, not billed as add-ons.
How long does the inspection take and when do I get the report?
A 2BHK apartment takes about 3 hours, a 3BHK or villa 4–5 hours. Your detailed PDF report — photographs, severity ratings and an AI-generated plain-English summary — is delivered within 24 hours of the site visit.
What does the inspection actually cover?
Over 200 checkpoints across structure, walls and ceilings, flooring, doors and windows, electrical systems, plumbing and drainage, waterproofing, kitchen and bathroom fit-out, balconies, and external areas. We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to find defects that are not visible to the eye.
Inspect before you sign
Once possession is signed, getting the builder back is a negotiation. Before it, it is a snag list. Book a certified engineer for Purva Atmosphere from ₹5,999.
