It makes work better and also makes the entire project distinct. We have two stories in this issue where determi- nation and tenaciousness is what will see you through. Our cover story that puts the focus on Harsh Neotia, chairman of Ambuja Neotia and our feature on green buildings and construction. Neotia chanced into real estate when he was given a challenge to build a project. He carries Providence through his journey of life. The soft-spoken art aficio- nado is always thinking up new things all the time. It’s in his DNA. Hailing from an illustrious family of artists of all kinds, Neotia ensures that any project that has been approved by his firm is executed in the most artistic way possible. Though not all, but most of them. It’s his way of acclimatising people to the concept of creativity and the arts. Though the architects are given a free hand, Neotia is constantly watching the project develop and makes sure the achitect understands his leanings towards certain colours and hues, among other things. The green building conundrum. To build or not to build. How much green to incorporate? Will it work? Will there be buyers? Go ahead and build them, you shuf- flers! People are more worried about health and general well-being and being indoors for a long time means that only green will save the day. Those pretending to build green will soon face red. No more compromising. Those who build largely green buildings using green materials...Bravo! This is the new brigade we need. 8 CONSTRUCTION WEEK JUNE 2021 ADVISORY BOARD Our distinguished advisory board has been assembled to help guide Construction Week to become even more representative of its community.
