Irehistro ang Proyekto sa Ilalim ng RERA at Isumite ang Quarterly Report

Set the scheme up with its land area, unit count and phasing, and check it against the registration threshold the state authority applies. Decide which phases are registered separately and which are one project, and record why.

Bakit: Phasing decides the completion dates you will be held to, and it is easier to argue before registration than after. A phase registered inside a larger project inherits that project's date even when its own work is shorter, and nothing later undoes that.

Lodge the registration with the state authority and keep the submission, the approvals it relied on and the certificate itself against the project. Record the declared completion date where the programme can be read against it.

Bakit: The declared date is the most expensive sentence in the application, because delay past it is compensated to buyers on everything they have paid. A date taken from the sales plan rather than from the programme is a liability accepted at the moment of registration, in writing, in public.

Measure each unit to the definition the Act uses, the net usable floor area within the walls, and make that figure the one the agreement, the marketing material and the internal cost per unit all run on.

Bakit: Two area bases in one organisation is not a documentation problem, it is a pricing problem. Cost per unit computed on one basis and price per unit quoted on the other is wrong by whatever the loading factor is, quietly, on every unit in the scheme.

Record progress element by element, foundation, structure, external walls, internal finishes, services, external development, and keep the money committed and spent against those same elements rather than against a separate cost code.

Bakit: The quarterly return asks for physical and financial progress side by side, and the two are read against each other by anyone looking for trouble. Recording them on one structure makes that comparison an output; recording them separately makes it a quarterly reconciliation exercise, done in a hurry, under a deadline.

Generate the quarter's report from the progress records, with the status of each approval and the photographs for the period, file it with the authority, and compare the trend against the declared completion date.

Bakit: Four returns show a trend the fourth quarter cannot hide. A developer who reads them as an early warning has a year to act on a slipping date; one who treats them as filing finds out at handover, when the only remaining options cost money to buyers.
