The Future of Sustainable 
Construction
When we are considering the future of sustainable construction 
in a terrain like Pondicherry,
• Particularly a Marriage Hall construction in Pondicherry, the 
first thing that comes to mind is the soil condition in 
Pondicherry which is red earth with a mix of silty and sandy 
soils, pebbles and clays. .
• Pondicherry is also one of the erstwhile French colonies in 
India that sports several heritage structures, apart from 
being a planned city and home for the Aurobindo Ashram.

Sustainable community 
building
• Every building does create an impact on the sustainability of its 
immediate surroundings as well as the global environment.
•  There are several components of the construction and design
       process that call for choices to be made. 
• These choices in turn   can make a positive or negative 
contribution to the sustainability of the building such as a 
Marriage Hall construction in Pondicherry that is constructed.

Major attributes of a sustainable 
community building
• In designing a sustainable community building such as a 
marriage hall, the ceiling of each floor is higher than what is 
normal for homes or apartments. 
• The structural design of the construction should factor in the 
constant load as well as the variable load. Exceeding the 
desired specifications by at least 10% is always desirable as 
compared to pitching below the specifications. Similarly, 
• While constructing a community space like a marriage hall, 
adequate
     provision should be made for potential floods and salt spray 
from the abutting sea..

Material 
selection
• The choice of steel, cement, and coarse/fine aggregate 
should be of the finest quality and grade since the life and 
safety of the building will largely depend on this. 
• Once the concrete is poured for the slabs, columns, and 
beams proper grouting and curing should be ensured for the 
stipulated period of time before commencing brickwork, 
flooring, and other activities.
• Generally, most builders tend to choose better than the best 
grade of materials available in the market since marriage 
halls take the maximum load when occupied and drop right 
back to near zero when empty.

Advanced 
technology
• With the advancement in technology modern-day 
builders and architects have access to a wide 
range of tools .
• materials to ensure that the buildings 
constructed by them can survive the Test of time 
and stand tall for future generations to enjoy.
