What a 10 marla budget usually leaves out
The per sq ft rate covers the house itself. These are often extra:
- Boundary wall and gate, charged per running foot.
- Underground water tank and septic tank.
- Basement. It needs retaining walls and waterproofing and can cost more per sq ft than the floors above.
- Map approval, utility connections and society charges.
- Solar system, air conditioners and kitchen appliances.
A 10% contingency on top of the calculator's figure is sensible for these and for price rises during a build that can take 12 to 18 months.
