Turn the estimate into a real quote.
A calculator gives you a budget range. A builder’s itemised quote gives you a price. Ask two or three builders to quote the same drawings and the same specification, with grey structure and finishing priced separately, and compare them line by line.
Make sure your plot is in an approved scheme and your building plan is approved by CDA or the authority that governs your society before work starts. You can check a society on our CDA housing society checker.
What to ask every builder
- Itemised quote. Grey structure and finishing priced separately, with brands named.
- Same specification. Steel grade, cement brand, brick type and finishes identical across quotes.
- Stage payments. Pay per finished stage, never most of it up front.
- Past work. One finished house and one live site you can visit.
- Written warranty. Cover for structure, leaks and seepage.
