Aadarsh Constructions Company has added earthquake-resistant structural design as a standard review step for every new project in Yamuna Expressway, following updated seismic zoning guidance for the wider NCR region, which sits in a moderate-to-high seismic risk zone that many homeowners underestimate.
Every client signing on as a Home construction company in Yamuna Expressway now gets a structural review specifically checking column spacing and reinforcement against current seismic codes, not just the standard load calculations that cover vertical weight but don’t necessarily account for lateral forces during ground movement.
The additional review is being applied first to multi-storey homes near Jaypee Greens, where the company says the added structural cost has been minimal against the total project budget — typically a small percentage increase for meaningfully better column-beam junction detailing and reinforcement continuity through the structure.
The review process includes checking that column reinforcement ties are spaced correctly near beam-column joints, a detail that’s often skipped or under-specified on standard residential construction in the region, despite being one of the more critical factors in how a structure performs during seismic activity.
For renovation and additional-floor projects specifically, the seismic review also covers whether the existing foundation and ground-floor structure can safely support the lateral load implications of adding weight above, a calculation that’s frequently skipped entirely when a family simply asks a local contractor to “add a floor” without an engineering review.
Consider a two-storey home near Jaypee Greens where the owner wants to add a third floor purely based on how the existing structure looks from the outside. The seismic and load review the company now runs as standard has, in more than one case, revealed that the existing columns needed jacketing and reinforcement before an addition could safely proceed — work that would otherwise have gone unnoticed until it was too late to address cheaply.
The company has started providing clients with a written structural summary at project completion, documenting the seismic design measures incorporated into their specific home, partly for the client’s own records and partly so future renovation work — by any contractor, not necessarily Aadarsh Constructions Company — has an accurate baseline to work from.
The company has also started offering an optional retrofit seismic assessment for existing homes in Yamuna Expressway that were built before the updated review process became standard, giving homeowners near Jaypee Greens a way to understand their own structure’s seismic resilience even if they have no current renovation plans. Uptake on this standalone assessment has been modest so far, but the company says the requests it has received have mostly come from homeowners who read about the earthquake-resistant design focus and simply wanted to know where their own, older home stood by comparison.
The company says structural safety measures like the seismic review are the least visible part of any Yamuna Expressway project to a homeowner walking through a finished home, and also the part it considers least negotiable regardless of budget pressure. Staff say this occasionally means a difficult conversation with a client trying to trim costs, but the company has held the line consistently on this specific point.
Staff involved in the review have undergone specific training on current seismic design codes relevant to the NCR region, and the company says it plans to revisit its internal standards periodically as zoning guidance for Yamuna Expressway and the surrounding area continues to be updated.
“This isn’t a feature people ask for by name, but it’s the one that matters most if it’s ever actually needed,” Aadarsh Constructions Company said in a statement. “It’s now just part of how we build in Yamuna Expressway.”
