Training Module 2
We will take you through the most basic thing that our team of surveyors does, the
process of correct data collection. Please note that we have emphasised upon being
correct as without unearthing the correct information about the cities that we cover,
all our efforts would go waste.

This module will help you understand how to fill the factsheets correctly! Go through
this module carefully and you will never fail when you get on the field. The aim of this
exercise is your learning so please do not hesitate to ask as many questions as you
want. We will test your aptitude so please give us the answers of the following
questions to the best of your abilities. Remember more mistakes here would mean
more clarity on the field!

2nd wing
Total % sold No. of units Unsold
2BHK 40 5% 38
3BHK 60 10% 54

3rd wing
Total % sold No. of units Unsold
2BHK 40 0% 40
3BHK 60 0% 60

Therefore total project sold % = 300 90% 30
