Frequently asked

How much does it cost to build a 1,500 sq ft house in Chennai 2026?
Tier-wise: Basic ₹25-28 lakh, Standard ₹28-33 lakh (most-chosen), Premium ₹33-42 lakh, Luxury ₹42-53 lakh. Single floor. For G+1 spread over two floors (~750 sq ft per floor): slightly higher (₹29-34 lakh Standard tier) due to staircase and structural complexity.
Is 1,500 sq ft enough for a 3 BHK home?
Comfortably yes. A well-designed 1,500 sq ft single floor accommodates: 3 bedrooms (master 14×14, two others 12×12), 2 baths, living 14×16, dining 6-seater, kitchen 10×10 + utility, foyer + pooja unit. Good size for a family of 4-5.
Single floor or G+1 for 1,500 sq ft?
Single floor needs 1,500+ sq ft plot — easier circulation, no stairs, ground-level living. G+1 spreads over two floors and needs only 800 sq ft plot — better land utilisation, vertical separation between formal and private areas. Many Chennai plots are 1,200-1,500 sq ft, so G+1 is common.
Why does a G+1 cost more than single floor for same total area?
Additional staircase (8×8 area + structural framing), additional waterproofing (terrace level), more complex structural design (taller columns, more reinforcement), additional formwork for slabs. Adds about 8-12% to per-sq-ft cost vs single floor of the same total area.
What's NOT included in 1,500 sq ft construction cost?
Land, CMDA approval (~₹60,000-1.4 lakh), EB connection, water/sewerage connections, modular kitchen (~₹3-5 lakh), modular wardrobes (~₹3-7 lakh), false ceiling, designer wallpaper, compound wall above standard, gate, landscape, smart home automation. The per-sq-ft construction figure covers civil + basic finishes only.
How long does 1,500 sq ft construction take in Chennai?
Single floor: 8-9 months in Standard tier. G+1: 9-11 months. Homeli's contracts include ₹1,000/day delay penalty beyond the agreed handover date — timelines are enforced, not aspirational.
