Design and map sanction add 4–8 weeks before the site starts. Premium and luxury finishes add 2–5 months, mostly in stone, ceilings and carpentry.
How to bring the 1 BHK cost down without cutting quality
- Keep the footprint rectangular and stack bathrooms and the kitchen on one plumbing wall — saves 4–6% on MEP and structure.
- Flat roof instead of sloped; cantilevers under 1.2 m.
- AAC blocks for internal walls on G+1 and above — lighter, cooler, less steel.
- Freeze the design before the footing; every change at plaster stage costs 2–3×.
- Start in October to avoid monsoon and idle labour.
- Never cut steel, cement grade, curing or waterproofing — the three things that cost lakhs to fix later. See the 15 mistakes people make when building.
