India house construction cost - how to use this estimate

This page helps you estimate a realistic budget using plot size, floors, state and finish level. It is best used as a starting point before you finalise drawings and a detailed BOQ.

FAQ is this accurate?
Is this accurate for my exact project?
Its a ballpark. For accuracy you need drawings + soil + item-wise estimate.
Should my city be Metro?
If your rates feel closer to Tier-1 behaviour, select Metro. Otherwise Tier-2 is fine.
