Meghalaya house construction cost (₹/sq ft) – practical guide
This Meghalaya calculator gives a rough ₹/sq ft and total cost for low-rise RCC houses
(typical family homes). Real cost depends on site access, slope cutting, retaining walls, rainfall detailing,
and your finish level. Shillong and larger towns often cost more than small towns due to labour availability,
transport and finish expectations.
What usually pushes costs up in Meghalaya: difficult terrain / hill sites, long material travel,
high rainfall waterproofing (roof + external walls), retaining walls and drainage, and premium finishes.
If your plot is on a slope, don’t ignore external works (site development and drainage) in your real budget.
Quick tip: Start with “Standard” quality and “Hill / difficult terrain” for safer planning.
Then compare with “Tier-2” to see the range. Use “Custom rate” if you already have a contractor quote.
Enter plot size, floors and finish. This page auto-selects Meghalaya by default.

Include lift cost in estimate
Typical lift package can be ₹12–15L+ (including GST) depending on brand/spec.
Parking/stilts reduce finishing cost on G but structure still exists.
