Comprehensive Duplex Cost Estimation -- 2
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I’m finalising the plans for a 1,250 sq ft G+2 modern duplex and now need a precise, professional cost estimate that covers every rupee- and dollar-driving detail, inside and out. The architectural layout is locked, so what I’m looking for is a clear, item-by-item breakdown that I can hand directly to contractors and suppliers without further editing.
Scope of work
• Quantify all structural, plumbing, electrical and finishing materials from foundation through roof, including labour allowances.
• Include interior items—flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, lighting, paint—as well as exterior elements such as façade finishes, windows, doors, waterproofing and landscaping allowances.
• Present data in a neat Excel (or Google Sheets) workbook with separate tabs for material take-off, labour rates, contingency and a summarised Bill of Quantities.
• Highlight cost-saving alternatives where relevant (e.g. different grade steel, tile ranges) while keeping the modern design intent intact.
Acceptance criteria
1. Totals reconcile across all tabs with formulas left visible.
2. Unit rates are referenced to a reliable source (recent market quotation, schedule of rates, or supplier catalogue).
3. A brief notes section explains any assumptions—taxes, freight, wastage percentages, contractor overheads.
4. Deliverable received within the agreed timeline and ready to plug into my financing plan without further rework.
If you have sample BOQs or previous duplex estimates, feel free to share a snippet so I can gauge your format.
