What Affects Construction Cost?
1. Structural Materials
Cement grade, steel quality and concrete mix directly impact structural costs. M25 concrete is standard for residential construction. The brand matters — UltraTech typically commands a 5–8% premium over regional brands but offers superior consistency.
2. Finishes and Fittings
The widest cost variation comes from finishes. Bathroom fittings can range from ₹15,000 to ₹1,50,000 per bathroom. Flooring tiles from ₹40 to ₹500+ per sq.ft. Electrical switches from ₹50 to ₹800+ per point.
3. Design Complexity
A simple rectangular structure is the most economical. Every projection, curved wall, or architectural feature adds to cost.
