How much cost will take to construct 2bhk house?

Almost a year ago, I was ready to build my 2 BHK house. I invited my friend, a civil engineer, to help me figure out the details and answer my question: how much does it cost to build a 2 BHK house? On the phone, he said the minimum construction cost for 2BHK will be Rs.20 lakhs. He came over, and we sat down to go through everything step by step. 

How Much It Cost to Build a 2BHK House in India?

Here are the factors he informed me about for calculating the construction cost of building a 2BHK property.

Land Costs Come First

He explained the construction cost of a 2 BHK house depends a lot on where the land is. If you already own land, that’s great, but if not, it’s a major part of your total expense. Urban areas can make the costs much higher compared to smaller towns.

Size and Materials Matter

Next, we talked about the size of the house. A typical 2 BHK house is about 800 to 1,000 sq. ft. He told me the material costs alone could range from Rs.1,200 to Rs.1,500 per sq. ft., depending on whether I wanted basic or premium quality materials. 

For a rough estimate, the cost of construction will be Rs.1,700 to Rs.2,000 per sq. ft. So, for my 1,000 sq. ft., the cost would be Rs. 17,00,000 to Rs 20,00,000.

Labour Costs Add Up

Then he said there will be a labour charge. This charge depends on the area and type of work, averaging around Rs 300 to Rs 400 per sq. ft. This was something I hadn’t thought about before.

Design and Add-On

Finally, he pointed out that any extras, like fancy tiles or modular kitchens, would increase the cost. I kept it simple to stay within budget.

In the end, he estimated the total construction cost of 2 BHK house will be at least Rs.20 lakhs, depending on my choices. I hope you found this helpful.

A 2BHK house typically consists of two bedrooms, a hall, a kitchen, and two bathrooms.  I have had my fair share of experience in estimating 2bhk house construction cost. The cost can vary because of factors such as the location, materials used, labour cost, and so on.

According to my calculation, a 2BHK house can cost you anywhere between  Rs. 10 lakhs to Rs. 50 lakhs. Assuming you choose to build a house using traditional methods.  If  modern construction techniques like prefabricated construction or modular construction are done, the price can go up. 

Construction of a house includes labour cost, cost of getting permits and approvals from the government, architecture fee, raw material etc.

-The cost of construction materials in metropolitan cities like Bnagalore  can be higher than other cities, and on average, the cost can range from Rs. 1,800 to Rs. 2,800 per square foot.

- The approximate cost to construct a house of 2BHK is calculated on the basis of  size and design of the house.

- The cost of labour in a metropolitan can also be higher than other cities, and on average, the cost can range from Rs. 250 to Rs. 550 per square foot.
