Cost of construction help

[tendlu]

The quote looks good. Just confirm what paint is he going to use in Asian. (e.g. Apex for exteriors or Apex Ultima?)

For exterior it is Asian Ace Exterior and interior it is Asian Tractor Emulsion. Are these good options? and does the quote still look OK with this paint option?

if the staircase is 160sq.ft then it is 160xRs.1500. Is this the normal in bangalore?

1. Stairs are normally quoted under a lumpsum labour value/ full contract value for very step constructed. They are not measured under "SFT".

I am NOT quite sure what it means by "full contract value for every step constructed". Can you please explain? How different it would be from sq.ft calculation?

1. Cost of steps is always measured by the number of steps constructed. This cannot be applied under the SFT rule.
2. Tractor emulsion & ACE exterior are the very basic paints & are "useless".

PS: I have been using asian for over 20 years & now have switched to "surfa coats". the cost difference is very high & the quality is superior compared to asian on the products that you see in par on the technical specs.

Curious, if staircase is quoted as lumpsum, what about car parking (or 'porch') area ? Is that also normally included under SFT price ?
