House construction cost by city and size (2026)

A house costs about ₹1,850–2,250 per sq ft to build in 2026 with standard finishes, materials and labour (ground floor, national-average prices). A 1,000 sq ft house comes to about ₹18.5–22.6 lakh. Pick a city for local prices, or a size for room layouts and material quantities.

Every figure here comes from the same SiteSetu cost engine as the house calculator and includes material, labour and 5% contingency, with a ±10% range. City prices were reviewed on 20 October 2026; their sources range from October supplier lists to older or undated references, shown on each page. Land, approvals, design and special site works are extra. These are estimates, not quotes.
