"This is not just a house; it's a statement of grandeur, carefully designed and constructed to reflect timeless elegance," the report quoted Bath as saying. "His commitment to timelines, coupled with a remarkable eye for detail, provided more than I could have asked for," he added.
Roopra not only met, but "exceeded" the family's expectations throughout the project, Bath said.
Roopra said working on this project was both a challenge and a rewarding experience. He credited the efforts of the entire workforce in bringing it to life.
