At HireandBuild, construction cost per sq ft in Chennai in 2026 starts at ₹1,999/sqft under the Basic package and goes up to ₹2,999/sqft under the Luxury package. The Standard package is ₹2,299/sqft and Premium is ₹2,649/sqft. All rates are fixed, GST exclusive, and include brand-level material specifications — no ambiguity, no hidden charges.

Every HireandBuild package covers the complete structure (RCC, steel, cement, brickwork), architectural and structural drawings, electrical wiring and switches, plumbing with CP fittings, flooring, doors, windows, and interior and exterior painting. Higher packages additionally include waterproofing (Dr. Fixit / Fosroc), granite staircases, UPVC 3-track windows, premium fittings (Parryware / Jaquar), soil testing, 3D elevation, and a Sintex or RCC overhead tank. The full brand-level comparison is in the table above.

Government approvals — including CMDA and DTCP plan sanction, statutory fees, and legal documentation — are not included in the per sqft package price. HireandBuild provides complete support with building plan approval as a separate service. Contact us for an approval cost estimate specific to your plot size and location.

At HireandBuild, the per sqft rate in your package is fixed once the agreement is signed. The total project cost changes only if you request design modifications, material upgrades, additional floors, or add-on work outside the agreed scope — all of which are quoted and approved by you before work proceeds. There are no unilateral price revisions.

Construction cost is calculated by multiplying the total built-up area in square feet by the package rate per sqft. For example, a 1,500 sqft G+1 house under the Standard package (₹2,299/sqft) gives a base package cost of ₹34.49 lakhs. Items outside the package — compound wall, underground sump, EB connection, government approvals, and carpentry — are charged separately.

HireandBuild's per sqft package rate applies uniformly across Chennai — whether your site is in OMR, ECR, Anna Nagar, Porur, Velachery, Perambur, Mogappair, or Tambaram. The total project cost may vary slightly based on soil conditions (which affect foundation depth), site accessibility, and transport logistics in specific zones. These are factored into the detailed quotation after a free site visit.

All HireandBuild package prices are GST exclusive. GST is charged as applicable and a proper GST-compliant invoice is issued for every payment milestone. This ensures your construction expenditure is legally documented — important for income tax records, home loans, capital gains calculations, and future property sales.

Yes. Any specification in the package can be upgraded — flooring tile grade, paint brand, fitting brand, window type, or door quality. The additional cost is quoted transparently before any upgrade is applied.
