What Does ₹1,999/sqft Construction Actually Include? — Zenith Construction Explains

If you’ve been researching house construction in Mysore or Bangalore, you’ve probably come across our pricing: ₹1,999 per sqft, inclusive of GST.

The first question most people ask is: “That sounds too good to be true — what’s the catch?”

There is no catch. But there is a detailed answer — and you deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for before you sign anything with any contractor, including us.

In this post, we’re going to break down every single item included in our ₹1,999/sqft package, what is not included, and how you can use this knowledge to ask the right questions when comparing contractors in Mysore and Bangalore.

Why Transparent Pricing Matters in Construction

The construction industry in India has a reputation problem. Many contractors quote a low per-sqft rate to win a project, then add costs at every stage — surprise charges for “extra soil,” “upgraded cement brand,” or “electrical points beyond the standard count.”

At Zenith Construction, we’ve spent 11+ years building a different kind of reputation — one built on zero hidden costs, professionally managed projects, and a strict no-bribery policy.

Our ₹1,999/sqft price is not a teaser. It is our actual, all-in price for a complete, move-in-ready structure. Here’s what it covers.

Complete Breakdown: What’s Included at ₹1,999/sqft

1. Design & Planning

Before a single brick is laid, your project begins with planning.

• Architectural drawings — floor plan, elevation, and section drawings
• Structural design — engineered by qualified structural designers
• 3D elevation view — so you can visualise your home before construction begins
• Approval drawings — drawings prepared as per MUDA/BDA/BBMP requirements (approval fees paid separately to the authority)

2. Civil & Structural Work

This is the backbone of your home — and we do not cut corners here.

• PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) bed for the foundation
• Excavation and foundation work — including footings and column bases
• RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) framework — columns, beams, and slabs using M20/M25 grade concrete
• TMT Steel — Fe 500 grade steel bars for all structural members

• Sunken slab in bathrooms for concealed plumbing

The grade of concrete and steel used is always documented and shared with the client.

5 Questions to Ask Any Contractor Before Signing

Whether you work with us or someone else, always ask these:

1. Is GST included in your per-sqft rate or added on top?
2. What grade of concrete and steel will you use — and will you give it in writing?
3. What brand of wiring, pipes, and paint will be used?
4. How many electrical and plumbing points are covered before extra charges apply?
5. What is your payment schedule — and do you charge for design separately?

A transparent contractor will answer all five questions without hesitation.
