Common Questions & Answers
Examples of what you can ask this AI tool
How should I allocate my ₹50 lakh construction budget?
Recommended allocation for ₹50L house: Structure & Civil (40%) = ₹20L, Electrical & Plumbing (15%) = ₹7.5L, Flooring & Tiling (10%) = ₹5L, Doors & Windows (8%) = ₹4L, Kitchen (10%) = ₹5L, Painting (5%) = ₹2.5L, Interiors/Furnishing (7%) = ₹3.5L, Contingency (5%) = ₹2.5L. Keep the contingency strictly for emergencies.
What are the most common causes of construction cost overruns in India?
Top 5 causes: (1) Design changes mid-construction (adds 15–30%), (2) Underestimated soil/foundation issues, (3) Rising material prices during 12–18 month build period, (4) Contractor quality issues requiring rework, (5) Underquoted electrical and plumbing work. Prevention: Lock design before starting, get soil test, use milestone-based payments.
How much should I keep as contingency for home construction?
Keep 15–20% contingency for new construction, 20–25% for renovation (higher risk of hidden issues). Never treat contingency as available budget for upgrades. Common contingency uses: soil issues, rework, design change requests, material price hike. If unused after structure phase, you can allocate part of it to finish upgrades.
