If you own a Prestige Great Acres plot on Sarjapur Road, the path from plot to home has five stages:

1. Collect your documents and the community’s building guidelines.
2. Survey the plot and test the soil.
3. Agree a design brief that fits your plot size and the guidelines.
4. Get approvals, from the authority and the community.
5. Choose a build route with clear supervision.

The decision that shapes everything else is how you use your plot’s dimensions. Plots in the community are commonly marketed in sizes such as 30×40 and 40×60, and each supports a very different house.

This guide covers each stage from an architect’s point of view. It focuses on what owners in a planned plotted community like Great Acres should check and decide.

House of Crea is an independent architecture and interior design studio and is not affiliated with Prestige Group. Details about the project here are general. Confirm your plot’s exact size, approvals and guidelines in your own sale documents and with the developer.

Step 1: Documents and Community Guidelines

Before an architect draws anything, collect:

• your sale deed and plot documents, with the exact plot dimensions and number
• the layout plan, showing your plot’s position, road widths and orientation
• the community’s building or design guidelines, if the developer or association has issued them. These may cover setbacks, building height, boundary walls, elevation materials, colours and where services connect.
• the approval details for the layout, so your architect knows which authority your house plan will go to

Plotted communities often have rules on top of the government’s building rules. Designing without them risks a plan the community won’t accept.

Step 2: Survey, Soil and Site Reading

• Measured survey: confirm the actual boundary dimensions and levels. They can differ slightly from the documents.
• Soil test: tells the structural engineer what foundation the house needs.
• Site reading: which side faces the road, where the afternoon sun hits, where neighbours will build, and where the best light and breeze come from.

On a layout where many neighbours will build at different times, think about privacy now. Window positions and a courtyard can protect it long after the plots around you are built.

Step 3: What Your Prestige Great Acres Plot Size Allows

Building on a 30×40 plot

A 30×40 plot is 1,200 sq ft, one of Bangalore’s most common sizes. It rewards careful planning:

• the staircase position decides how efficient every floor is
• parking usually takes much of the front setback
• most homes go up, typically G+1 or G+2 within the rules, to get enough living space

Our guide to what to lock early on a 30×40 plot in Bangalore covers setbacks, staircase and parking decisions in detail.

Building on a 40×60 plot

A 40×60 plot is 2,400 sq ft. It gives far more freedom:

• room for a proper garden or courtyard
• a more relaxed staircase and double-height spaces
• the option to keep a ground-floor bedroom for parents
• space for a home office or guest suite

The extra width also makes it easier to orient living rooms towards the garden rather than the road.

	30×40 (1,200 sq ft)	40×60 (2,400 sq ft)
Typical approach	Build up; compact, efficient plan	Spread out; garden and courtyard possible
Parking	Takes much of the front	Easier to tuck to one side
Garden	Small, or terraces instead	Real garden or courtyard
Best for	Smaller families, efficient homes	Larger families, villa-style living

Step 4: Brief and Concept

At House of Crea, every architecture project starts the same way:

1. Initial consultation and discovery: how your family lives, now and in ten years
2. Concept creation: mood boards, layout sketches and 3D renderings
3. Design refinement: detailed plans, materials and finishes

On a plotted-community home, add these to the brief:

• will parents live with you, now or later?
• do you need a home office, rental unit or guest suite?
• how much garden do you actually want to maintain?

Our architecture services page explains how we take a brief from concept to working drawings.

Step 5: Approvals

Two sets of approval usually apply:

• Plan approval from the planning authority that governs the layout. Your architect prepares the submission drawings, and the sanction fees are paid separately.
• The community’s approval of your design against its guidelines, if it has a review process.

Ask the developer or association whether design approval is required before you apply to the authority. Getting the order wrong can mean redrawing.

Choosing How to Build

Route	How it works	Watch out for
Architect + your own contractor	Architect designs and supervises; you hire the builder	Agree the supervision visits in writing
Design-and-build package	One company designs and builds	Check how design quality is protected
Architect-led coordination with partners	One design lead; execution through trusted partners	Clear responsibilities in the contract

At House of Crea, we offer design services, material coordination and optional on-site supervision. Full turnkey execution can be arranged through trusted vendor partners. We also regularly work with a client’s own builder or contractor.

Plan the Interiors While the House Is a Shell

Electrical points, plumbing, false ceilings and built-in wardrobes should be planned while the house is still being built. Fixing them later means breaking finished walls. Our guide on planning interiors while your villa is under construction explains the timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.Where is Prestige Great Acres?

Listings describe Prestige Great Acres as a plotted development on Sarjapur Road in East Bangalore, within Prestige’s township there. Confirm your plot’s exact location and layout in your sale documents.

2.What plot sizes are available in Prestige Great Acres?

Plots are commonly marketed in sizes such as 30×40 and 40×60, among others. Your plot’s exact dimensions are in your sale deed and layout plan, so use those for design.

3.Can I build a G+2 house on a 30×40 plot?

It depends on the setbacks, height limits and floor area rules that apply to your plot, and on any community guidelines. Your architect should confirm these before the design starts.

4.Does a plotted community have its own building rules?

Many do. Developers or associations often issue guidelines on height, setbacks, boundary walls, elevation and services. Ask for them before design starts.

5.Do I need an architect for a plotted-community house?

Yes. A registered architect prepares the design, the approval drawings and the working drawings your contractor builds from. They can also supervise construction. Check their registration with the Council of Architecture.

6.When should I start designing after buying a plot?

As soon as you have your documents and the community guidelines. Design, approvals and working drawings take time, and starting early lets you begin construction when you are ready.

7.Is House of Crea associated with Prestige Group?

No. House of Crea is an independent architecture and interior design studio in Bangalore, not affiliated with Prestige Group.
