Selecting the Right Apartment in Dhaka: 7 Key Questions

Intro: Apartment purchases in Dhaka are significant investments. Asking the right questions before you commit can save you time, money and frustration. Here’s your checklist.

What is the developer’s track record?

Look at past projects: Did they deliver on time? How is the finish quality? Does the developer stand behind their work? Here, Benchmark Buildtech’s history and portfolio provide confidence.

Is the project legally and structurally compliant?

Ensure required approvals, building codes, safety certifications. Ask for structural drawings, RERA‑style disclosures (or local equivalents).

What are the materials & finishes?

Investigate finishes (flooring, paint, fixtures), construction quality, sound insulation etc. These affect living experience and future resale value.

What infrastructure & amenities are included?

Check parking, elevator quality, lobby, backup power/generator, water supply, internet connectivity, security. A good developer builds full infrastructure, not just the “shell”.

How is the location and connectivity?

Consider access to roads, public transport, upcoming infrastructure, schools, hospitals, shopping. Location drives value appreciation.

What is the payment schedule, hidden costs & resale value?

Transparent cost breakdown, schedule of payments, documented extras. Also ask resale potential: is the developer brand recognised? Will the building retain value?

What after‑sales service & management?

Who will manage the building? How is maintenance handled? Does the developer provide post‑handover follow‑up? These matter long term.
