What is the Construction Cost First Floor?

Depending on the desired level of finish, a first floor building cost usually includes the cost of building the floor slab, exterior and interior walls, windows, doors, roof structure above the first floor, plumbing, electrical wiring, plastering, flooring, painting, and any remaining finishing touches, such as bathroom fixtures. As per my professional experience, this is a rough estimate for various building quality levels,

1. Basic construction of a first floor: Rs. 1,650 - Rs. 2,200 per sq ft

2. Standard construction of a first floor: Rs. 2,200 - Rs. 2,750 per sq ft

3. Premium construction of a first floor: Rs. 2,750 - Rs. 3,850 per sq ft

4. Luxury construction of a first floor: Rs. 3,850 - Rs. 5,500+ per sq ft

If you are building a 1,000 square foot first floor of standard quality:

Cost of the first floor (10% higher): (1,000 square feet * Rs. 2,750 per square foot) = Rs. 27,50,000.
