With Covid curbed, residential projects are seeing a steady rise in the demand among investors preferring to invest their hard-earned money in housing projects rather than individual houses, owing to the amenities, convenience of luxury living and state of art security measures.
A life at high-rise apartment is surreal with the picturesque view and larger than life amenities. Especially for people who are concerned about privacy, high-rise apartments are an excellent choice to stay connected yet be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In most real estate projects, the building design plays a vital role in assessing a residential complex’s security needs. Sites of varying sizes require different security technology layouts with different levels of functionality and sophistication.
Some of the features that a potential home buyer should look into are as follows-
● Round the clock presence of security guards
One of the important basic security features to prevent any intruder to enter in the complex
● Digital Surveillance
CCTV being installed at strategic points to keep vigil so that the security footage and the security personnel can reach the scene of action immediately
● Proper record of visitors
A proper track of visitors / vehicles entering or exiting the premise can be a preventive measure.
● Intercom system
Installing intercom system in homes is an added security feature to ensure unidentified people are not given access to the house unless permission is given at the reception.
● Secured Entry and Exit Gate for cars
The secured entry and exit routes ensure the safety of your vehicle and its passengers
● Separate elevators for service staff and passengers
High-rise homes experience a high volume of elevator usage every day. A smart way to keep the residential complex secure is by only allowing limited people to access the areas of the property they need with separate elevators. Separate elevators for residents and outsiders or for service and freight purposes must be installed. These elevators must be supported by 24×7 power backup to prevent getting stalled during power failures.
● Fire Safety
The National Building Code (NBC) of India has put forward comprehensive guidelines about various Indian Standards which must be followed during the construction of high-rise buildings and implementation of safety requirements. Though these apartments come with safety measures it is important to check for fire safety & prevention systems like heat sensors and smoke detectors, overhead water sprinklers, alternative fire exits and wet riser water tanks. Also the building should be constructed using fire resistant material and has a fire refugee area.
Some of the residential high-rise in the city such as as Vraj Tiara have an air condition lobby with bell desk and concierge service, an intercom facility to communicate with its residents, CCTV surveillance in common areas with 24 x 7 security. A secured slider entry & exit gate with sensors for cars to ensure safety of vehicles. With the provision of 2 Toshiba-make High Speed (3 m/s) passenger elevators that can accommodate up to 10 passengers; a Service Elevator/ Stretcher Elevator accommodating service staff of 19 persons and big enough to accommodate the stretcher in case of medical emergency equipped with an automatic rescue device, from basement to top floor. The fire safety systems include a fully automated fire detection; automatic sprinkler system in lobby, common areas at each level, across the apartments and parking, along with water curtain system at every parking level ensuring the highest levels of fire safety. Additionally, use of fire rated main doors in the apartments; refuge areas and 22nd floor as Fire Check Floor to arrest the fire to spread; Two of 2-meter-wide staircases fire isolated pressure stairs and fire chute in case of emergency.
With the growing need for safety and security of the loved ones in a city, investing in homes with security features becomes an essential part of your luxury living.
