Hey,

When I was getting my house constructed. I was constantly worried about the running cost. I had made some estimates before the construction process began. Though, I soon realised the cost of raw material and labour varies depending on different builders and such. I spoke to multiple construction groups about slab cost per square foot. All of them gave me different amount estimates.

To know slab cost, you can multiply the length of the slab by the width to determine the square footage.

Then, just convert the thickness from inches to feet.

If you want, multiply the thickness in feet by the square footage to determine cubic feet. Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by multiplying by .037.

Once, you have the area determined. You can make an estimate about the number of slabs needed for cost per sq ft. 

Concrete cost per square foot can be anywhere between Rs.40 to Rs.400 depending on the brand of concrete used. There are certain companies that manufacture concrete that is expensive. The cost of a basic RCC cement Slab is Rs 49/square foot. The product  ID for such slabs is 1684939248. 

When I talk about concrete slab cost per square foot in India. It does not include labour cost, which is usually Rs. 210 to 220 for a building per day. Further, you might need to pay more for finishing and miscellaneous work like curing, repair, storage and security.

The price for footing is Rs 50/ sq ft, brickwork for Rs 25/sq ft, plaster for Rs 20/sq ft and for finishing and miscellaneous is electrical fitting =Rss 8/sq ft. Plumbing fixtures will be Rs 15/sq ft. 

I hope the estimate shared by me has given you an idea about slab cost per square foot.
