Cost of construction help
Hello,
A contractor is asking Rs. 1500 for the following specification in Bangalore. It includes material and labor.
It is a Ground + First floor building
Can you please let me know whether the price is right? I need to finalize this ASAP.

I am not quite sure how i am going to check for the quality, but at least check for the brand. but then, i am seeing folks saying rs. 1300-1400 per sq.ft is a normal price at this time, though it depends on the materials.
>> How to compute sqft area , if the builder gives quote in this format. Is it wall to wall (inside or outside) or something else.
The contractor is calculating wall to wall for sq. ft calculation. In fact, the contractor is asking for a full price for stair case, car parking area (there is a room on the first floor on top of this) and also for utility area.
I am looking for few more comments from folks on the price quote from the contractor for the materials listed?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: Cost of construction help
The quote looks good. Just confirm what paint is he going to use in Asian. (e.g. Apex for exteriors or Apex Ultima?)
Does this include the cost of Stairs?
Is there any additional charges for roofing (for concrete gangman)?
Any cost for Parapet wall on the top floor & Waterproofing?

Re: Cost of construction help
Rs. 1500 is a good price for the specifications provided. But you have to ensure the quality of finishing. Does the price include Sump tank, overhead tank, boundary and parapet wall? You have to get detailed specifications from the contractor to avoid any misunderstanding later.
Good luck!

Re: Cost of construction help
>> Does this include the cost of Stairs?
stairs is accounted as a separate sq. ft for cost calculation. In other words, if the staircase is 160sq.ft then it is 160xRs.1500. Is this the normal in bangalore?
>> Is there any additional charges for roofing (for concrete gangman)?
we haven't spoken about this, but i will check with the contractor and get back.
>> Any cost for Parapet wall on the top floor & Waterproofing?
Do you mean the terrace?
>> Just confirm what paint is he going to use in Asian. (e.g. Apex for exteriors or Apex Ultima?)
Asian apex for exterior and Asian Ultima for interior is the recommended quality?

Re: Cost of construction help
1. Stairs are normally quoted under a lumpsum labour value/ full contract value for very step constructed. They are not measured under "SFT".tendlu wrote:if the staircase is 160sq.ft then it is 160xRs.1500. Is this the normal in bangalore?

2. Both apex/ ultima are exterior paints. Interior paints have different names as in "shyne, royale, premium, tractor emulsion" & so on. Visit teh website for more details.
