1000Sqft Low Budget House Construction Cost in 2025

Construction Cost Percentage

 

 

Construction materials cost – 70%

Labor Cost – 30%

Suppose, the total construction cost – Is Rs. 10lakh

 

 

 

So, Materials cost will be – 7lakh

 

and, Labor cost will be – 3lakh

 

Remember,

Generally, there are three types of house construction

A class house construction

B class house construction

C class house construction

 

A class house construction – A class house construction is a premium class house construction in which all branded materials are used. This type of construction is done with the latest equipment & technology & under the supervision of architects and supervisors. These are generally framed structures in which the load building load is carried by columns & beams. Al luxury house construction is coming under the A-class construction category.

 

B – class house construction – Generally 90% of people go with b – class house construction which is done for modern houses, some branded materials are also used in b – class house construction. It is also a framed structure where the total building load act on beams & columns. All modern house construction is coming under the B-class construction category.

 

 

C – class house construction – This is a simple & basic type of house construction. It is not a framed structure construction. This is a load-bearing construction in which the total load is coming on walls only. There is no beam & columns used in this type of construction. Locally available materials are used in such types of construction.

Each class house construction rates vary from city to city. Here we will discuss C – Class House construction estimation.

1000Sqft House Construction Cost (C class)

 

 Suppose, the total built-up area – is 1000sqft

 

 

Today, C class house construction Rates – Rs.1100 to 1200/-sqft

Let’s consider an average rate – 1150/-sqft

So, the total construction cost of a 1000 sqft house with finishing is – 1000 x 1150 = Approx Rs.11.5lakh.

 

Materials Required For 1000Sqft (2BHK) House Construction

Total Cement cost – 290 x 320 = Rs.92,800/-

 

2). Sand (रे ती)

 

There are two types of Sand mostly used in house construction 

 

 

Brown Sand Rate –  Rs.55 to 60/-Sqft

 

White River Sand Rate –  Rs.65 to 70/-Sqft

 

Consider Brown Sand & Maximum rate – 60/-Cft

 

Approx Sand quantity – 1800Cft

 

Total sand cost – 1800 x 60 = Rs.1,08,000/-

 

3). Aggregates

 

There are two types of aggregates mostly used in house construction-

Total Labor Cost For 1000Sqft House Construction 

 

2). Labor cost for house construction…..

 

Labor rate for construction Approx –Rs.170 to 200/-Sqft 

 

Total built-up area – 1000sqft

 

Consider, Average labor rate – Rs.180/-sqft

 

So, Total labor cost – 1000 x 180 = Rs.1,80,000/-

 

Total Construction Cost – Civil Materials Cost + Finishing Materials Cost + Labor Cost

 

= 493000 + 58650 + 1,80,000 = Rs.7,31,450/-

EXTRA & VARIABLE COST

3). Whitewash (Putty/POP) 

 

 

Thumb Rules,

 

5 times more than the total area

 

Total Area – 1000sqft x 5 = 5000sqft

 

Putty & POP labor rate approx – 3/-Sqft

 

So, Total labor cost – 5000 x 3 = Rs.15,000/-

 

Materials costs are also the same – Rs.15,000/-

 

Total Labor + Materials Cost – Rs.30,000/-

 

(At this rate contractor apply 2 coats of putty/Pop)

 

4).  Wall Paint 

 

 

According to thumb rules,

 

For 1000sqft Area…

 

Paint surface area – 2500Sqft

 

Paint labor rate approx – 6/-Sqft

 

So, Total Painter cost – 2500 x 6 = Rs.15,000/-

 

Paint materials cost approx – Rs.8 to 10/-sqft

 

Consider Maximum rate of paint 10/-sqft

 

Total Paint cost approx – 2500 x 10 =Rs.25,000/-

 

Total Cost of paint (M+L) = 25,000 + 15,000 = Rs.40,000/-

 

5). Plumbing

 

 

Materials Cost……..

 

Pvc Pipe cost for underground piping Approx – Rs.9,000/-

 

CPVC pipe cost approx – Rs.15,000/-

 

Cost of sanitary items – Rs.35,000/-

 

Total cost of plumbing materials – 9,000 + 15,000 + 35,000 = Rs.59,000/-

 

Labor cost for plumbing – Rs.15/-sqft

 

So, the total labor cost of plumbing for 1000sqft Approx – Rs.15,000/-

 

So, Total Cost of plumbing (M+L) – 59,000 + 15,000 = Rs.74,000/-

Electrical materials Cost Approx – Rs.25,000/-

 

(Electrical pipe, conduits, boxes & wires, etc).

 

2nd cost for switches, lights, fans, Mcb, led approx – Rs.20,000/-

 

Total materials cost for electrical works – 25,000 + 20,000 = Rs.45,000/-

 

Electrical works labor cost Approx – Rs.15/-sqft

 

So, total labor cost for 1000sqft – 1000 x 15 = Rs.15,000/-

 

Total cost for 1000sqft electrical works (M+L) – 45000 + 15000 = Rs.60,000/-

7). Electricity Consumer Connection

 

Depends on Watt…..

 

Approx Cost – Rs.5,000/-

 

These rates vary state to state & city to city.

 

 8). Doors & Window Frame

1 Window Approx Quantity – 8 x 5 = 40 Feet                   

           

No. of Window in 2Bhk – 4Nos.

 

Total Window Frame Qty – 40 x 4 = 160Feet

 

Cement Frame Average Rate – Rs.30 – 35/-Feet 

 

Total cost of Frame – 270 x 35 = Rs.9450/-

 

Labor Cost for installation – Rs.4000/-

 

Total Cost (M+L) – 9450 + 4000 = Rs.13,450/-

 

9). Wood Works

 

 

4 things are mainly required in-home ( doors + windows +wardrobes + modular kitchen)

 

Carpenter Rate – 35% of total materials cost

 

Total Cost of Wood Works Approx – Rs.70,000

 

Labor cost – 70,000 x 35/100 = Rs.24,500/-

 

Total cost of wooden works – 70,000 + 24,500 = Rs.94,500/-

 

10). Main Gate

 

 

A 75 kg to 100kg of the main gate is enough
