The layout of the colony is very important.
The levels of the ground should be thoroughly checked, the rain water should flow towards north, east or north east direction.
The roads have to be formed exactly in north-south and east-west direction, so that the flats are good rectangles or squares which will be best according to Vastu.

FLATS

Construction of flats as per vastu is not simple. The number of flats in one complex, common walls for adjacent flats placement of kitchen and bathrooms make things more difficult. The following principles should be followed to benefit the flat owners:

The side should be four sided , square or rectangular in shape, with south west angle to be 900
North, east or north east roads would be good with two gates, one in east and other in north. Besides north- east south- west or north- west blocks are also good.
Ground levels should be sloping towards north- east and levels in south- west should be higher than all other sides.
An open well or a bore well should essentially be dug in north- east before the commencement of the construction.
More open space should be left in east and north compared to west and south.
Balconies should be on the north, east or north- east directions preferably.
Kitchen should be placed in south east or north west but never in north east.
Pent houses should be planned in south west on the terrace.
Staircases should be on the south, west or south west directions and it should never be on north and east directions because the larger head room on north east is not acceptable.
Main entrance to the flat could be from east, north, south, west, north east and north west,
Cellar should be kept under the northern or eastern portion of the complex and not on the southern and western side.
North -east cellar can be used for parking of vehicles.
