Construction cost psf - Indian Real Estate Forum

psambher · 11-02-11

Hi members,

How much is the construction cost psf for for a non luxury flat? The starting price for a apartment in some cities is 1500 psf. It means the cost of construction should be less than 1000 psf. The only difference in metro and small cities is the cost of labour.

Members with construction background pl five your inputs.

Heard from some wise people, builder start contruction after geting full project expenses from the investors (ie about 30%)

Not an expert but one friend told me 700-900 /sq ft for basic apartment but if you go for imported marble, high end kitchen/bathroom fittings, best cement and paint 1100/sq ft.

In a place like gurgaon , construction cost for basic specs like that of pioneer park is 1500 psf.

and luxury apartments vary a lot but surely 2300 +

Dear Ishant,

Real 007 is right.. i have worked in the Re private equity domain and have made many financial models for PE investments in RE... teh cost varies from 800-1200/1300 ...

2300 is the construction cost for a A grade service apartment 4-5 star....2300 can never be the construction cost for residential, unless some body is coming up with a never before seen kind of specs

**amit001** · 11-02-11

In high rise with very good specs, 1500 is a very good cost; it is never in tah range of 2000-2300
