In detail.

A Score Is Only Useful If You Know What It Measures

The Brickplot Score appears on every project page as a number out of 10. It ranks projects in search results, flags under-performers and surfaces value anomalies. But a score without a methodology is just a number. This article explains exactly what each of the 11 axes measures, how they are weighted, and what a score in different ranges means for a buyer.

The 11 Axes and Their Weights

1. Legal & Title Cleanliness (18%)

Title chain, encumbrance certificate search, parent-deed continuity. The highest-weighted axis because title problems are the hardest to remedy post-purchase and create the longest legal delays. Projects with any cloud on title score ≤5/10 regardless of other axis performance.

2. RERA Disclosure Quality (14%)

Form A&B filings, quarterly update cadence, escrow adherence, complaint count per 100 units. Intentionally weighted second-highest — RERA compliance is a proxy for the builder's entire governance posture.

3. Builder Financial Health (12%)

MCA-21 balance sheet check, debt-to-equity ratio, promoter share pledging, prior-project delivery record. Financial health predicts construction continuity.

4. Verified Buyer Sentiment (10%)

Direct buyer interviews (phone-verified against booking receipts), complaint-to-unit ratio, consumer-forum docket count. This axis is Brickplot's most differentiating — we call buyers, not just read Google reviews.

5. Bank Loan Approval Depth (8%)

Number of scheduled banks offering project loans against this specific registration. A project with 8+ bank approvals has passed multiple independent checks.

6. Location & Infrastructure (12%)

Metro/highway DPR alignment, employment hub proximity, satellite imagery 5-year trend.

7. Value & Price Trajectory (8%)

Price-per-sqft vs micro-market comps from the Brickplot Fair Price dataset, sub-registrar resale velocity.

8. Construction & Delivery Risk (8%)

RERA progress reports, possession-slip count vs units booked. Projects more than 12 months behind schedule get a 2-point deduction regardless of other scores.

9. Governance & Approvals (4%)

Fire NOC, OC status, CC validity, electricity sanctioned load.

10. Liveability & Build Quality (3%)

Carpet-vs-super ratio, slab-to-slab height, ventilation, waterproofing warranty.

11. Investment Yield & Exit (3%)

Rental yield potential, resale liquidity score, proximity to demand clusters.

Score Thresholds

  • 7.0–10.0 → Buy Now: Strong across most axes. Suitable for end-use and investment.
  • 5.0–6.9 → Wait: Material weakness in at least one axis.
  • ≤4.9 → Avoid: One or more hard caps triggered, or weighted score reflects systemic risk.

What the Score Does Not Measure

The Brickplot Score does not predict short-term price movements. It does not measure personal suitability. It does not replace a site visit, a lawyer's title opinion or your bank's technical assessment. It is a structured starting point for research, not a substitute for due diligence.
