Ways to spend less
Finish the design first
Changes halfway through cost the most. Freeze drawings and budget before work starts.
Keep the shape simple
Rectangular, compact plans need fewer walls, less formwork and less waste.
Build in the dry season
Work goes faster and cheaper outside the monsoon.
Never economise on structure
Spend on rod, cement and concrete quality; save on finishes you can upgrade later.
Buy materials in bulk
Fewer deliveries mean better prices and lower transport cost.
Plan wiring and plumbing early
Fixing services after plastering means breaking walls.
An approximate figure for planning only. Actual cost depends on the site, design and market prices. Talk to an engineer before a large project.
