Construction Cost For Ground +3 floors

[vhari]

To Gatu's question. 1600 Rs/sft seems high but depends on what material and basic rate he is offering. A few things to note:
Contractor usually signs up for 3kg/sft as basic cost and coverag of steel without quoting brand etc, will just say TMT. Be clear since its G+3. Try to get your structural guy do the drawings because contractor tries to keep his cost low and its safe if you can spend 25-30K from your pocket for drawings when you spend such big amount. What is his clause on wood i.e. window sizes, door sizes, roof height and material of wood etc.

Try to get to details and you will figure out if the basic cost + supervision cost + opportunity cost(tension free for you:-)) works in your favor. Hope this helps.

GUYS - I AM CURRENTLY DOING LABOR CONTRACT. PLEASE DONT GO THAT ROUTE UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEDICATED APPOINTED ENGINEER TO SUPERVISE.

Hi vhari. Can you share more details on the contractor you are working with? I have reached out to couple of contractors, and am getting a quote upwards of Rs. 2000/sft. The specifications are very average (aluminum windows, non teak doors/frames, Rs 55/sft vitrified, white bath fittings etc.). However this includes all works including tanks, paving concrete around the house, compound etc. If you feel Rs. 1600 would include all the above works, would like to talk to your contractor.

Hi ,
2000/- per sft it very high quote.You should look in to specs again.Even you consider the tanks, compound wall, gates etc. it doesnt reach 2000/- per sft with the specs you are mentioning.I suggest you look for alternatives.
