Toufiq M Seraj encapsulates all that is there related to the real estate sector in his book titled “The Real Estate Development.”
Contrary to what the title suggests, the book is less about chronicling growth and more about producing a guideline for the fast growing sector.
This recent Pathak Shamabesh publication includes every possible sub-sector and how to go about regulating them, said speakers at the launching ceremony held at Sheltech Lounge in the capital yesterday.
They said the book was a guideline for the developers, buyers and students, and all those involved with the booming sector.
Nazrul Islam, honorary chairman of the Centre for Urban Studies, said: “The book addresses all important issues of the sector such as the concept and administration of real estate, urban planning, real estate management, land and legal matters, real estate projects, economics, finance, and real estate construction.”
Ainun Nishat, professor emeritus at Brac University, said: “Those who face problems in the sector, rarely write about the problems. This book is like a manual and a Bible for the professionals.”
“The book is a compilation of my daily experiences of the last 25 years. I started writing the book four years ago but could not get enough time to complete the book. As my business was not going well for the last couple of years, I got time and completed the book,” said the author Toufiq M Seraj.
Bishwa Sahitya Kendra Chairman Abdullah Abu Sayeed said: “If Taufiq's business was good, we could not get such a wonderful book. Taufiq's experience is reflected in the book and it will benefit millions. It is a compilation of his lessons and an important document for researchers.”
Toufiq M Seraj is the founder managing director of Sheltech Pvt ltd. He is an engineer by profession and has extensive professional experience in real estate development, construction, management and planning consultancy.
