India-wide planning guide

Delhi, Gurugram (Gurgaon), Noida, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur and Lucknow
For Delhi NCR, name the exact site city in every request for a quote. Ask whether delivery, unloading and labour travel are included when a supplier serves more than one NCR city.
Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat and Nagpur
Record the actual site access and delivery point. Ask contractors to separate material transport, unloading and any existing-work removal from the building rate.
Bengaluru (Bangalore), Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi, Coimbatore and Visakhapatnam
Compare quotes against the same finish schedule. Write down tile, paint, waterproofing and door specifications before comparing any per-square-foot figure.
Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Patna, Guwahati, Indore and Bhopal
Ask whether the quoted work includes site preparation, material delivery and foundation work. Use the project drawings and an engineer’s specification for structural quantities.
Ask two or three local contractors or suppliers to price the same drawings and finish schedule. Keep these details beside each figure.
Built-up area per floor, number of floors and whether the quote uses built-up, carpet or plinth area.
Foundation, frame, walls, plaster, electrical, plumbing, waterproofing and finishes.
The named materials, sizes, brands or performance specification behind the rate.
Delivery, unloading, access, removal of old work, approvals and taxes where applicable.
The quote date, validity, payment stages, exclusions and contingency.
Next step
Use a local quote for an early budget range. When your room and wall dimensions are ready, save a layout and estimate bricks, paint, plaster or tiles from the actual measured work.
