Know how about the construction cost involved in building a house


Every family has a dream of owning a roof over their head and each member of the family would like to add a dash of his/her ideas while building a house, which they may later call it as ‘home’. While planning to build a home there are many factors that needs to be considered beforehand or else you may run into trouble mid-way.
  Building a home involves costs revolving around the location of the house whether it is an urban or a sub urban area, if the structure is simple or complex, the size of the building, labor cost at that location and many more. Let’s take a look at them individually to see how these costs add up while building a home.

The shape of the outside boundary is very important while making an estimate of the construction cost. The more complicated the shape of the building, the higher the construction cost. The outside boundary includes the garage area as well.



 The type of house you are planning to build also determines the cost. If you are willing to build a regular house with standard fittings and fixtures it might cost a little lesser but if you are planning to build a house with your ideas and choices then the costs will increase exponentially. You might like to create home with designer tiles, branded fixtures, high quality paints, attractive cabins and storage space etc., all this will only build-up on your existing cost.

The size of total built up area also decides the cost. This area includes all the common area and the total carpet area. This does not comprise of basement and garage area as they will be calculated separately. The bigger the size of the building, the pricier the construction cost. However, it works out lesser when compared to cost per square foot when compared to smaller buildings

Finally, the quality of materials used in construction like sand, bricks, iron bars, gravel, and wood also matters. The labor charges too differ in different cities. They will work out lesser in suburban areas but it will be expensive in urban areas.

So, if you are excited to build your home, don’t rush with your plan. Slowdown, get all your construction costs estimated and covered. Then enjoy a smooth flow of work and also peace of mind which comes with it. Happy constructing!
