VAASTU FOR FLATS
                                      Construction of flats as per Vaastu is not that simple. The number of flats in one complex ,common walls for adjacent flats, placement of kitchen and bathrooms all these, make things complicated. Nevertheless , if one follows meticulosly the principles of Vaastu in selection of the plot and construction of building, satisfactory results could be attained in majority of cases.
The principles given should be follow strictly so as to give maximum benefit to the flat owners.
   1. The site should be a good square or a rectangle if possible with South-West corner equal to 90 degrees.
   2. North , East or North-East roads  would do more good with two gates, one in the East and the other in
       North. Besides the North-East, South-West or North-West blocks are also good.
   3. Ground levels should be slopping towards North-East and the levels in the South-West should be higher
       than all other sides.
   4. An open well or a bore well  should essentially  be dug in the North-East, before the construction takes
       place.
   5. While designing the complex, more open space should be left in the East and North compared to West
       and South.
The other specific points that should be ideally followed are
   1. North-East projection in a plot is good.
   2. East open space should be more than West open space.
   3. North and North-East open space should be more than South and south-west open space.
   4. Kitchens are preferred in South-East or North-West.
   5. Balconies towards North, East and North-East are advisable, its not advisable to have balconies in
       South and West.
   6. Kitchen is advisable in South-East, or North-West on the terrace.
   7. Stair cases have to be in South, west or South-West and to be avoided in North-East, because
       head room of the stair case, higher than South-West is not acceptable.
   8. Main entrance into the flat should be from East, North , South, North-East, West and North-West.
   9. No wells or bore wells should be dug in South-East, North-West or South-West.
 10. Cellars should be kept under the northern or eastern portion of the complex, and not in southern or
       western side.
 11. North-East cellar to be used for parking of  vehicles; preferably not heavy trucks.
 12. Open area in North-East should be used for lawns, bore wells and pumps.
 13. Open area in North-East can also be used for on and off parking.
 14. Pent house at North-East is not good.
 15. Stair case should not be higher than South-West.

VAASTU FOR INDUSTRIES

                                                  Even for industries too, the selection of site is very important. Besides the fact that sufficient water and electricity should be available , the Vaastu of the plot, such as the shape of the plot, the roads facing the plot and the ground level inside and outside the site are very important.
The various principles of Vaastu  which aid in setting up an  industry are as follows.
   1. Main roads towards east, north or north-east are advisable with wide gates on two sides.
   2. Gates in north-east or east or north-west are recommended.
   3. Guard room should be either on north-west side of north-gate or south-east side of east gate.
   4. Minimum space should be kept in south and west where big trees could be grown. More open space
       should be left in north and east where lawns and other greenery can be grown.
   5. The floor levels in south-west must be higher than other sides and height of the building also must be
        higher than all the other corners. Care has to be taken to have the store rooms in south-west fully
        loaded with stocks to the extend possible.As and when the stocks are consumed they should be
        replaced immediately.
   6. Car parking may be provided in north-west if open area is available. For light vehicles north-east could
       also be used.
   7. Administrative offices are to be located either in north or east, away from boundry walls with less height
       than the main factory. Here special care has to be taken in keep int north-east corner open.
   8. Staff quarters may be constructed in south-east and north-west. If quarters are multi-storeyed and if the
       height is more than of main factory, they should be constructed in south-west without touching the main
       premises.
   9. Toilets should be places in north-west or south-eastern part of the buildings, and not in north-east or
       south-west.
 10. Wells, bore wells water pumps and water ponds etc. should be in the north-eastern area.
 11. Over head tanks may be erected in west and nearby, duly maintaining the heights. South-west and
       north-east sides including north and east should be avoided, for constructing overhead tanks. This is a
       bit controversial subject and hence one should be very careful in locating the overhead tanks and also
       the water tanks above the ground level.
 12. Heavy machinery has to be installed in south, west or south-west in the factory.
 13. Raw materials storage, whether inside the factory or sheds outside, should be in south or west or
       south-west.
 14. Finished products are to be kept in the north-west corner. It will help for quick movements of the
       stocks.
 15. Products under process or unfinished goods may be kept in west direction.
 16. Weighing machine may be located near the gate either in north or east because that area is not
       subjected to permanent weight.
 17. Transformers, generators, motors, boilers, furnaces, oil engines should be kept in south-east or close to
       south-east.
