Many apartment buildings in Bengaluru are ground plus three or four floors. Buyers ask whether a lift is necessary and builders ask whether it is worth the cost. This guide explains the practical considerations. For the exact legal requirement for your building, check local building rules and consult your architect.
Why buyers expect a lift
- Elders and people with limited mobility.
- Carrying groceries, luggage and furniture.
- Resale and rental value of upper floors.
- Accessibility for visitors.
Why builders include one
Apartments without a lift are harder to sell above the first floor. A good lift becomes a selling point, and planning it from the start avoids expensive retrofits. Read lift planning for builders and architects.
What to plan
- Shaft position near the entrance and staircase.
- Capacity for residents and furniture moves.
- Backup power.
- AMC and a sinking fund. See RWA lift budget planning.
For buyers: questions to ask
- Is there a lift, and what capacity?
- Who maintains it and under what AMC?
- Is there a service lift?
- What happens during a power cut?
