How to choose your elevation style

- Plot proportions: Tall narrow plots suit vertical emphasis; wide plots suit horizontal expression.
- Community aesthetic: In gated communities (Ansal Golf Link, Jaypee Wish Town), respect established character.
- Budget: Elevation should typically be 5-12% of total construction cost for standard residential; up to 15-20% for luxury villas.
- Climate: Weather-resistant materials for NCR dust + monsoon + heat. Test claddings before committing.
- Maintenance: Higher maintenance materials (wood, intricate detailing) need more upkeep.
