Should a 2,000 sq ft house be single floor or G+1?

G+1 is the typical pattern for 2,000 sq ft — better land utilisation (smaller plot needed), vertical separation between formal areas and private bedrooms, future flexibility (first floor as separate unit).

11-13 months for G+1 2,000 sq ft in Standard tier — design + drawings 4-5 weeks, CMDA approval 30-45 days, construction 9-11 months. Premium tier 12-14 months due to longer material lead times for imported finishes. Contracts include delay penalty clauses.
