What changes the cost
- Number of floors — G+2 is cheaper per sq ft than G+1 (foundation cost is shared)
- Soil — black cotton soil or high water table needs deeper footings
- Elevation complexity — cantilevers, double heights and cladding add cost
- Finishing brands — flooring, sanitaryware and doors are the biggest variables
- Plot access — narrow society roads increase material handling
- Timeline — rushed schedules cost more; long pauses cost more still
These are indicative 2026 ranges for planning. Your item-wise estimate after a site visit is the number to rely on.
