Meet Umashankara A of Uniq Builders

When you hand over the biggest purchase of your life to a construction company, you are really handing it to a person. Behind every builder in the city there is someone who decides how estimates are written, how sites are run and how complaints are handled. At Uniq Builders Mysuru, that person is Umashankara A, the company’s Proprietor and Managing Director, working from its base in Vani Vilas Mohalla.

This article is a proper introduction. Not a puff piece, but a look at the working principles Umashankara has built the company around, and why those principles matter to you as a Mysuru homeowner or business owner comparing builders. If you are going to trust someone with your plot and your savings, you deserve to know how they think.

You will also see how to reach him directly, because at Uniq Builders he is not a name on a letterhead. He is the company contact, and the first consultation with the team is free.

From 2009 to 200 plus projects

Uniq Builders has been working since 2009. In that time the company has completed more than 200 projects across six cities: Mysuru, Bengaluru, Mandya, Srirangapattana, Chamarajanagar and Kollegala. The company tagline, We Build India, tells you something about the ambition, but the spread of those six cities tells you something more practical. A builder who delivers in smaller towns like Kollegala and Srirangapattana as well as in Bengaluru has learnt to work with different soil conditions, different local approval offices and different client expectations.

The range of work has grown alongside the geography. Today the company runs seven service lines, from architectural design and residential construction to commercial interiors, industrial fabrication and container buildings. During the pandemic, the industrial team even built oxygen plants, which says a great deal about how the company responds when a client needs something urgent and unfamiliar.

The principle of keeping everything in-house

Ask Umashankara what separates Uniq Builders from a typical contractor and the answer is structural, not rhetorical. The company delivers its four core practice areas in-house: architecture, structure, interiors and construction. The engineers, architects, surveyors and craftsmen who work on your project are on the company’s own payroll.

Why insist on that? Because subcontracting is where accountability leaks away. When the person who drew your plan, the person who designed your footings and the person laying your brickwork all answer to the same management, there is no gap for blame to fall into. If a beam position clashes with an interior layout, it gets resolved in one office rather than in a dispute between two firms.

For you, the practical benefits look like this:

• One point of responsibility from drawings to handover
• Design decisions checked against structural reality before work starts
• Craftsmen who are trained to the company’s own written specification
• No coordination surcharge hidden between multiple vendors

Pricing you can read before you sign

The second principle Umashankara has built the company on is written clarity about money. Uniq Builders publishes its construction packages with starting rates: Premium at Rs 1,999 per sq ft for premium standard construction, Gold at Rs 2,499 per sq ft with complimentary interiors, and Platinum at Rs 2,999 per sq ft for fully customised luxury homes with interiors included. There is also a Villa package, a complete one-stop solution from plot buying through construction to handover, priced to the individual project. Terms and conditions apply to every package, and a written specification is shared during consultation.

Notice what is not hidden. Every package covers design and drawings, including working drawings, 2D and 3D elevations and structural design with a soil test. Government approvals are handled by the company, covering plan sanction, khata and licences, and power, water and sewage connections, with statutory fees paid directly by you so there is no markup on them. Free assistance with government licensing work is part of every package.

Just as important, Umashankara insists on naming the exceptions upfront. Site conditions such as rock excavation, additional foundation depth or imported filling earth are quoted separately after a free site visit, and the final figure is confirmed only after that visit. A builder who tells you where surprises can come from, before you sign, is a builder who has decided not to profit from them.

Standing behind the work after handover

Plenty of builders are attentive until the final payment clears. Umashankara’s answer to that industry habit is written into every package: a workmanship warranty after handover and one year of free service. If something needs attention in that first year of living in the house, the company comes back.

The same long-view thinking shows up in who the company serves. Uniq Builders takes up renovation work and interiors for existing and old houses, not just new builds. For NRI clients, the team helps with plot identification and purchase, registration and documentation, and sends photo and video updates through the build so an owner in another country never has to guess what is happening on site.
