Proposed Resort Project, Kondhawali

A proposed resort at Kondhawali, Velhe, Pune, planned on a hillside site whose contours run from about RL 727 m to RL 810 m. The architect's zoning layout (revision R13, May 2026) arranges the resort in zones up the slope: an entrance foyer and drop-off point, an admin, reception and waiting block, hotel reception with deluxe rooms, luxury suites with living areas, pantries and decks, an ultra-luxury villa, a multipurpose hall, closed dining, a staff stay and restaurant with its kitchen and stores, a swimming area and semi-open gathering area, a spa centre, a bar counter, a mandir, a rock garden and watch tower, a play area, courtyards, open lawns and parking, with a services area set aside. A 560 m internal road with its own levels and cutting and filling climbs the slope between them. The architecture and the road are the architect's; our appointment is the MEPF design for the whole resort.

We are the MEPF design consultants for the resort, appointed in September 2026, and the design is under way against the zoning layout and the road levels. A resort on a hill shapes every service: water and fire mains have to climb and fall with the 560 m road, so tank and pump positions are set by the levels rather than by the plan alone; sewage and drainage run downhill, so the sewage plant belongs near the lowest point with treated water pumped back up for the gardens; power runs a long way from the substation to the farthest villa, so cable sizes and distribution boards are chosen for voltage drop as much as for load; the kitchen, spa and pools each need their own services; and fire hydrants and fire-engine access have to follow the road up the slope. Our scope covers electrical, water supply and drainage, sewage treatment, fire protection, HVAC and ventilation, the swimming pool and spa services, and the external services that tie the zones together.
