Planning to build a house in Bihar Sharif? The first question every family asks is “how much will it cost per sq ft?” — and the second is “which builder can I trust?” This guide answers both.
What changes the cost
- Soil type and foundation depth (a soil test decides how deep the footings must be)
- Number of floors and column-beam design
- Brand of cement, TMT steel and bricks
- Flooring, sanitary and electrical fittings you choose
- Site access, water supply and approvals
Checklist: choosing the best construction company near you
- Get a soil test and a structural drawing from a qualified engineer before anything else.
- Ask for an item-wise BOQ, not a single lump sum.
- Insist on cube tests for concrete and check TMT brand and diameter at site.
- Link payments to completed stages (foundation, plinth, slab, brickwork, finishing).
- Visit a house the company has already completed and talk to the owner.
Contract types explained
- Labour-only contract — You buy all materials; the contractor supplies labour. Cheapest on paper, but you carry the risk of wastage, theft and wrong specifications.
- Material + labour (item rate) — Contractor quotes per item — per cubic metre of concrete, per sq ft of plaster. Transparent, but you must check measurements at every stage.
- Turnkey / per sq ft package — One rate per sq ft of built-up area covering structure, finishing and fittings. Easiest to manage and the most popular choice for independent houses.
Mistakes families make
- Choosing only on the lowest per sq ft rate
- Starting without approved drawings
- Skipping waterproofing of the roof and bathrooms
- Paying large advances with no written schedule
