Being a Quantity Surveyor you must be having your own data back up and other reasons to support your Analysis.
Having designed and built more than 200 houses in different parts of the state,my experience shows such classification of expected cost has not much meaning.
There is no substitute to following these steps for designing and building house In Kerala
1.Site visit by Architect to study site conditions
2.Initial design and obtaining local authority approval and other such statutory permits
3.Engineering Estimate
After taking Engineering estimate which gives item wise quantity and costing based on finalised plan,you will get a feel of cost involved provided the rates are obtained from some one who is regularly involved in construction activities in Kerala.
But the actual cost in a place like Kerala where all input cost keep on increasing without any pattern can be known only when you complete house.
Do you require our services for design and construction of your house at Trivandrum?
