House construction cost per sq ft in Hyderabad

At Hyderabad's prices on 24 October 2026, building a house costs about ₹2,081 a sq ft of built-up area for standard quality: materials, labour and finishing, red bricks and river sand. Basic quality comes to about ₹1,709 and premium ₹3,002; a contractor adds 10% to 20% to that.

Floor wise: G, G+1 and G+2

Each floor adds its own built-up area. For 1,000 sq ft a floor, standard quality:

How the cost is worked out

Cost = materials (quantity a sq ft × built-up area × price) + labour + finishing

Example: a G+1 house of 1,000 sq ft a floor (2,000 sq ft), standard quality, red bricks and river sand at Hyderabad's prices on 24 October 2026: materials ₹12.6 lakh, labour ₹11 lakh, finishing ₹18.1 lakh: ₹41,61,232 in all, about ₹2,081 a sq ft.

What a sq ft of house takes

These are the rules of thumb estimators use for an RCC-framed house of one or two floors, wastage included. Sand and aggregate are bought by the tonne, so a cubic foot is counted as about 45 kg of sand and 42 kg of aggregate.

Cement bags and steel for a 1,000 sq ft house

About 400 bags of cement and 3,500 kg of steel, with 52.1 tonnes of sand, 51 tonnes of aggregate and 9,000 bricks: ₹6.3 lakh of materials at the prices above. Type your built-up area above for your house.

Good to know

• Not included: the land, the building permission and its fees, the architect's and structural engineer's fees, a compound wall, sump, borewell, electricity and water connections, interiors and modular kitchen. Add them separately.
• Checking a contractor's quote: a contractor building it all (materials and labour) adds about 10% to 20% to the cost for overheads and profit. A quote well above that is worth questioning; one below the cost usually leaves something out, or uses cheaper materials. Compare like with like: ask whether the rate is with or without GST, as a registered contractor may add GST on top.
• A rate a sq ft is for the built-up area: each floor measured to the outer face of its outer walls, the walls included. The carpet area inside the walls is smaller, so the same house costs more a sq ft of carpet.
• Ask for the quote in writing with the brands and grades of cement and steel, the tiles and fittings allowed (₹ a sq ft or a piece), and what "standard" means. Pay in stages as the work is done (foundation, each slab, brickwork, plastering, flooring, finishing), never all in advance.
• The quantities here are averages. A soft soil, a basement, cantilevers, more floors or long spans need more steel and concrete: the structural design's bill of quantities (BOQ) has the real figures.
• Prices are Hyderabad's, as tracked by ap7am. Sand and bricks vary most from town to town, in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh alike: type your dealer's price, and the estimate changes with it.
• The plot's area from its sides is in the land area calculator, and the EMI on a loan to build in the home loan EMI calculator.
