Brickplot Editorial Policy

How we score. Who we are. What we will never do.

Last updated: April 2026  ·  Version 3.1

1. Our Mission

Brickplot exists because India's property buyers deserve verdicts that no builder can buy. Every score, every review, every "Avoid" we publish is paid for by readers — not by the builders we review.

Buying a home in India is typically the largest financial decision a family will make. Yet the dominant information sources — broker websites, builder portals, aggregator platforms — have a structural conflict of interest: they earn commissions when you transact.

Brickplot was founded on a single premise: a buyer who has a credible, independent score for a project makes a better decision than one relying on marketing material.


3. Independence Policy

  • Zero builder revenue. Brickplot accepts no money from builders, developers, or their agents — not as advertising, not as "content partnerships", not as "data licensing", not as sponsored listings.
  • Zero subsidised site visits. If a Brickplot analyst visits a construction site, Brickplot pays for the travel and accommodation. We accept no free transportation or hospitality.
  • Zero builder advertising. Our revenue comes from two sources only: reader subscriptions and paid consultation services for individual buyers.
  • We have never removed or modified a score at a builder's request. If a score is wrong, the path to correction is documented in Section 5 of this policy.

4. How We Score

The full methodology is at /how-we-review/ and /score/.

RERA Compliance20%
Builder Track Record15%
Location Fundamentals15%
Value for Money15%
Buyer Sentiment20%
Construction Progress15%
RERA Hard Cap: Any project without valid RERA registration cannot score above 4.9 on the Brickplot scale — regardless of performance on the other five axes.
  • Buy Now 7.0 – 10.0 — Strong fundamentals across all axes
  • Wait 5.0 – 6.9 — Material concerns; monitor before committing
  • Avoid 0.0 – 4.9 — Significant risk factors; do not proceed without expert advice

5. Complaints & Corrections

If a builder believes a Brickplot score contains a factual error, submit a formal correction request to: editorial@brickplot.com

A valid correction request must include the specific project name, the specific factual claim being disputed, and supporting documentation from an independent source.

Our principle: If we are wrong, we say so publicly. Score changes are published with a changelog.
