🟧 First, what is the cost per square feet?

Cost per square feet is the average amount of money it takes to build one square feet of house. 

This cost comes from many things working together.

• The cost of the materials used like cement, bricks, steel, tiles, paint, wires, pipes, and so on. 
• The labour cost, the people who actually build the house, like masons, carpenters, electricians, and painters. 

Apart from standard construction costs, you may also need to spend separately for works like planning, architect, approval charges, site cleaning, Eb connection, and so on. So keep in mind while you are budgeting.

The standard house construction cost is Rs 2300 per square feet. While the premium house construction cost may go Rs 2700+ per sq ft. 

With this you can calculate the house construction cost. Let me explain,

Simple for a standard 2000 sq ft house, house construction cost is Rs 46,00,000 (Rs 2300 × 2000 sq ft). While for a premium house, it costs above Rs 54,00,000.

Yes, it is a huge amount, which costs some of their life earnings💸.

🏡 2000 Sq Ft House Construction Cost in Tamil Nadu

Let me show you an example for ₹2,300/sq ft 

Here we assume that you have the land to build your dream home. If you also need to buy land and build, then please include land cost in your house budget.

Lets do simple maths to find the construction cost of a 2000 sq ft house.

To find the 2000 sq ft house construction cost we need to multiply the build up area with construction cost per sq ft.

Here you need to build a 2000 sq ft house, so the build up area is 2000 sq ft.

We are going with standard construction cost, so the house construction cost per sq ft is 2300 Rs.

Now by multiplying both

2000 Square Feet × 2300 Rupees

Rs 46,00,000 ( 46 lakhs)

Let have some Miscellaneous amount which will help in finishers. Like we can select some tiles or fittings more than the budget.

Lets have a 5% miscellaneous amount from total cost (5% of 46lakhs is 2,30,000).Then Rs 48,30,000 would be the construction cost.

So, if you are planning to build a 2000 sq ft home it would cost you around Rs 46 to 48.3 lakhs.

This fourty six lakhs is the house construction cost. And wait, this is not your total house construction budget.

These are some essentials which you may need in your home according to the place where you build your home. These will cost you extra:

• Sump 
• Septic tank
• Concrete/brick over head tank
• Compound wall

💬 My Honest Suggestion

If you are planning a 2000 sq ft home, don’t just go with what someone else says. 

Call a local contractor or engineer (like me 😄) and get a proper estimate. Even better, ask for two options: one for your expectation(dream home), and one for a standard one.

That way, you will know where you can save and where you shouldn’t.
