Cost of Building Construction In India


Construction costs in India vary widely based on location, building type, materials, and labor. On average, residential construction ranges from ₹3,000 to ₹4,000 per sq.ft, while commercial and high-end residential projects can go up to ₹5,000–₹10,000+ per sq.ft. Factors like structural complexity, finishing standards, site conditions, and regional labor rates heavily influence final costs. With increasing demand for sustainable and pre-fab technologies, cost predictability and efficiency are also improving across the industry.
