Looking for information from scratch and each stages.
Planning to end.

Dear Deepak,
Wish you all the best for a successful and ontime completion of the construction project. Your question is very broad so unable to answer comprehensively. However, yes you need to treat house construction as a project and the answers depend on how you wanna execute it - outsource it to a contractor/go in only for a labour contract with you driving the materials purchase/go for a contractor but hire an expert to monitor it every day and so on...also it depends on budget, time frame within which you wanna complete...
Thanks,
Sree0909.

Thanks Sree for your short but considerable point. Yes I know my question is general and broad.
Basically I am looking for any kind of information about construction would be helpful because I have zero knowledge on it.

Approximately you will have 900 sqft on each floor and cost of construction you can use only websites for your reference only and there is always price escalation based on your requirement.if you are looking for unique design then hire an architect you will have flexibility on design based on requirements. Note all below responsibility will be included as part of architect responsibility

If you are looking for good planning, hire an engineer , 3d guys for your elevations,hire always a structural engineer for structure ,he will be accountable for your structure. For electrical and plumbing.labours can manage, make sure take photos of all conduiting .

You can go yourself to BDA for approval or you can find middle men to get it done ,you can find few in this forum itself.

If you can affordable enough time, you can go with material contract.or go with item rate contract where you will have clarity on each item and question him if there is variation.
But always keep doing regular visit. I would not recommend Mason dependency sometimes he will take a ride because you will not be SME.
All the best
