Construction Cost Percentage

Construction materials cost – 75%
Labor Cost – 25%
Suppose, the total construction cost – is Rs. 10 lakh

So, Materials cost will be – 7.5 lakh
and, Labor cost will be – 2.5 lakh

Types Of Construction
Generally, there are three types of house construction
A class house construction
B-class house construction
C-class house construction

A class house construction –

B – class house construction –

B-class house construction is a type of construction that uses standard materials and methods to build a sturdy and functional home. It is typically less expensive than A-class construction, but it still meets the basic requirements for safety and comfort.

B-class houses are typically made with concrete blocks or bricks for the foundation and walls and wood for the roof and framing. The exterior is finished with siding, and the interior is finished with drywall and painted or wallpapered. The plumbing and electrical systems are standard, and the appliances are mid-range.

B-class houses are a good option for budget-minded homeowners who want a sturdy and comfortable home. They are also a good option for homeowners who want to do some of the construction work themselves, as the materials and methods are relatively simple.

Here are some of the pros and cons of B-class house construction:

Pros:

• Affordable
• Sturdy and functional
• Easy to build
• Good for budget-minded homeowners
• Good for homeowners who want to do some of the construction work themselves

Cons:

• Not as energy-efficient as A-class construction
• Not as stylish as A-class construction
• May not last as long as A-class construction

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to choose B-class house construction is a personal one. It depends on your budget, your needs, and your preferences. If you are looking for an affordable, sturdy, and functional home, then B-class construction may be a good option for you.

C – class house construction –

C-class house construction is the lowest level of quality in home construction. It is characterized by the use of low-cost materials, unskilled labor, and minimal attention to detail. C-class homes are typically the least expensive to build, but they also offer the fewest advantages.

Here are some of the specific features that are typically found in C-class house construction:

• Low-cost materials, such as concrete block, vinyl siding, and particleboard
• Unskilled labor
• Minimal attention to detail
• Inefficient features, such as poor insulation and single-pane windows
• Disposable roofing materials
• Low-quality appliances and fixtures
• Cramped and inefficient floor plans
• Minimal landscaping

C-class house construction is a good option for those who are on a tight budget and do not need a high-quality home. However, it is important to be aware of the limitations of this type of construction before making a decision. C-class homes are not built to last and may require significant repairs and maintenance over time. They may also be less energy-efficient and comfortable than other types of homes.

If you are considering buying a C-class home, it is important to do your research and inspect the property carefully. You should also be prepared to spend more money on repairs and maintenance in the future.

Here we will discuss – B-class house construction estimation.
