Planning to build a new house? Estimate the total construction cost based on plot area, cost per sq ft, construction quality, and number of floors.
If you build a 1000 sq ft house with a basic construction cost of ₹1500/sq ft for 1 floor, the total estimated cost is ₹15,00,000. Out of this, material costs take up 55%, labor 25%, finishing 15%, and miscellaneous 5%.
Construction cost generally includes material costs (cement, steel, bricks, sand), labor costs, finishing (tiles, paint, electrical, plumbing), and miscellaneous expenses.
The multiplier adjusts the base cost depending on your choice of materials and finishing. Basic is 1x, Premium is 1.5x, and Luxury is 2x.
