What are you building?

Bengaluru rates as of August 2026. Excludes land, statutory approvals and interiors unless the premium band is selected.

Illustrative range

₹62.0 L₹76.7 LTotal construction cost, GST included
2,1002,600Per sq ft, standard finish
45.4Months to completion, typical
2,500Sq ft built-up

What this excludes.Land, plan sanction and approval fees, betterment charges, compound wall and landscaping, and interiors beyond the selected finish level. On a joint development, none of the developer’s marketing or financing cost is here either — which is why a developer’s number for the same building is usually higher than this one.

And the statutory cost, if you are buying

Karnataka doubled the registration fee from 1% to 2% in 2025. Within BBMP limits an additional cess applies, taking total statutory outlay above the ₹45 lakh threshold to roughly 7.5% of value. Duty is computed on consideration or guidance value, whichever is higher.

Illustrative planning ranges, not a quotation. Actual cost depends on soil and foundation requirement, structural design, specification, contractor and market conditions at the time you build. Use this to sense-check a number you have been given, not to replace a detailed estimate.
