What is Included in “Per Sq Ft” Rate?

- Electrical — Concealed wiring (Havells/Polycab), switches (Anchor/GM), MCB panel, earthing
- Flooring — Vitrified tiles (basic) or marble/granite (premium)
- Doors & Windows — Flush doors (plywood), aluminum/UPVC windows
- Painting — Interior emulsion (Asian/Berger), exterior weatherproof
- Kitchen — Platform and tiles (modular kitchen is extra or included in higher packages)
- Bathroom — Wall tiles, floor tiles, basic fittings, waterproofing
What is NOT Included (Usually)

- Water tank (overhead), boring/borewell
- Solar panels, CCTV, home automation
- Architect fees (sometimes included in design-build packages)
Factor-by-Factor Cost Breakdown
1. Structure (40–45% of total cost)
The structural skeleton is the biggest cost component. This includes cement (UltraTech/ACC at Rs. 350–400/bag), TMT steel (TATA/SAIL at Rs. 55–65/kg), aggregates, sand, and labor. Using AAC blocks instead of bricks can save 5–8% on structural costs while improving insulation.
2. Flooring (8–12%)
Vitrified tiles: Rs. 40–80/sq ft. Italian marble: Rs. 200–500/sq ft. Granite: Rs. 80–200/sq ft. This single choice can swing your total cost by Rs. 100–200/sq ft.
3. Plumbing & Sanitary (8–10%)
Basic (Cera/Parryware): Rs. 25,000–40,000 per bathroom. Premium (Kohler/Grohe): Rs. 80,000–1,50,000 per bathroom. CPVC pipes and fittings add Rs. 1.5–2.5 lakhs for a typical house.
4. Electrical (6–8%)
Standard wiring (Havells/Polycab): Rs. 1.5–2.5 lakhs. Add Rs. 50,000–1 lakh for premium switches (Legrand/Schneider), extra points, and smart home provisions.
5. Painting (4–6%)
Putty + primer + 2 coats emulsion: Rs. 18–25/sq ft (wall area). Exterior texture/weatherproof: Rs. 25–40/sq ft. Premium paints (Asian Royale/Berger Silk) cost 30–50% more than standard.
Hidden Costs to Watch For
- Soil treatment — If soil bearing capacity is low, pile foundation can add Rs. 2–4 lakhs
- Water table issues — Dewatering during foundation adds Rs. 50,000–1 lakh
- Design changes mid-construction — Each change order adds 5–15% to that component
- Material price escalation — Steel and cement prices fluctuate; lock prices in agreement
- Rain delays — Monsoon season (July–September) can add 4–6 weeks to timeline
How to Compare Contractor Quotes
When comparing quotes from different contractors in Greater Noida:
- Compare specifications, not just rates — A Rs. 1,500/sq ft quote with ISI-mark cement is not the same as Rs. 1,650/sq ft with UltraTech
- Check what is excluded — Some quotes exclude compound wall, water tank, or electrical
- Ask for brand names in writing — “Branded fittings” is vague; “Jaquar bathroom fittings” is specific
- Visit completed projects — See the actual quality, not showroom samples
- Check timeline commitment — Delays cost you rent/EMI on current accommodation
