Doing up a home you can't visit sounds daunting — until the process is built for it. Here's exactly how an overseas client takes a Tamil Nadu home from first call to finished handover with Homeli, without ever needing to fly down (though you're welcome to).
You see your finished home on screen first. No imagination required, no money at risk yet.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 48-hour quote | Every item priced in ₹ + a foreign-currency estimate |
| You approve | Line by line — adjust scope to your budget |
| 10% advance | Work begins; you keep control of the rest |
| Milestones | You pay in stages tied to visible progress |
Why overseas clients trust us: just 10% advance to begin (you keep control of your money), an itemised quote in 48 hours with every line priced — never a vague lump sum, a free 3D design before you commit, weekly site photos + video updates so you see progress from abroad, a 10-year warranty in writing, and 45-day delivery with a penalty clause if we're late. We're new to serving NRIs and we say so honestly — but our entire process was built for clients who can't stand in the room.
| Option | For |
|---|---|
| Video walkthrough handover | You approve the finished home remotely |
| Keys to your family | Parents / relatives move in or receive it |
| Move-in ready for your visit | Timed to your next India trip |
| Homestay/rental ready | Staged + photographed for listing |
Six clear steps — video consult, free online 3D approval, 48-hour itemised quote, 10% to begin, weekly photo/video updates, and a video or in-person handover — let you renovate or build a Tamil Nadu home from abroad while seeing every stage and keeping control of your money.
