Understanding Construction Cost Estimation
A realistic budget is the foundation of a successful project. Here's how costs break down.
The Major Cost Heads
- Civil & Structure (~46%): foundation, RCC, masonry
- Finishing & Interiors (~24%): flooring, paint, fixtures
- MEP (~16%): electrical, plumbing, HVAC
- Design & PM (~8%)
- Contingency (~6%)
What Drives Cost Up
Quality of finishes, site conditions, design complexity and material price volatility are the biggest variables.
