Design, approval, structural, civil work, finishes, interiors — every stage of your Chennai home delivered by Homeli under a single contract. Itemised quote, written timeline, marine BWP plywood, branded steel, 10-year structural warranty.
Chennai house construction in 2026 costs ₹1,800–3,200 per sq ft of built-up area for residential turnkey work, depending on tier. Basic (₹1,650–1,850/sq ft) covers structure + standard finishes; Standard (₹1,850–2,200/sq ft) adds better materials + branded fixtures; Premium (₹2,200–2,800/sq ft) uses imported finishes, branded sanitaryware, premium electricals; Luxury (₹2,800–3,500/sq ft) is custom architectural work + imported stone + designer fixtures. A typical 1,500 sq ft G+1 home: ₹30–42 lakh standard tier. Homeli's contract is itemised, milestone-linked, with a 10-year structural warranty and ₹1,000/day delay penalty.
"Turnkey" gets misused in Chennai — some builders use it to mean shell + flooring, others include full interiors. Homeli's turnkey scope is explicit and itemised in the contract. Here is what's included in our standard turnkey:
Anything outside this list — modular interiors, false ceiling, designer wallpaper, landscape, compound wall above standard height — is itemised separately in your quote so you see exactly what's included.
Construction cost in Chennai is usually quoted as ₹ per sq ft of built-up area. The total cost depends heavily on tier — what materials, finishes and fixtures you choose. Real 2026 ranges from Homeli's invoiced projects:
| Tier | ₹ per sq ft (built) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹1,650–1,850 | RCC structure + standard finishes, ceramic tiles, basic Jaquar/Cera fixtures, MR plywood doors, Apex paint. Liveable, durable. |
| Standard | ₹1,850–2,200 | Vitrified flooring, granite counters, better fixtures (Jaquar Continental / mid-Cera), teak/sal doors, branded electricals. Our most-chosen tier. |
| Premium | ₹2,200–2,800 | Imported vitrified / engineered wood floors, premium granite/quartz counters, designer fixtures (Kohler / Grohe), modular wardrobes, false ceiling, premium paints. |
| Luxury | ₹2,800–3,500 | Custom architectural detailing, imported stone, designer sanitaryware, smart-home wiring, automation, full interior integration. |
Worked examples (Chennai 2026):
Typical timeline for a 1,500 sq ft G+1: 9–11 months from foundation to handover. A 3,000 sq ft villa: 12–15 months. Our contract carries a ₹1,000/day delay penalty beyond an agreed handover date.
A construction quote that doesn't name brands is a quote that can be downgraded mid-build. Homeli's standard tier names every brand in writing. Here is the spec sheet:
The most common reason Chennai house projects go wrong is too many independent vendors. The architect blames the contractor for not following drawings. The contractor blames the architect for impractical design. The structural engineer blames both for site changes. Approval gets stuck because nobody owns the document file. You become the unpaid project manager between four parties who don't trust each other.
Homeli's design-to-build model removes that gap:
If you want to engage Homeli only for design + approval and bring your own contractor, that's a valid path too. But most clients who start with us for architecture extend us into construction once they see how the project runs.
