After getting the Architectural plans finalized, you have a choice to either go for a ” Building contractor ” or ” Labor contractor “.
You can do construction in two ways as follows

In the ” Labor contractor ” you need to supply all the construction materials required to execute the project. The cost of a labor contractor varies from Rs 180 / sq ft  to Rs 220 / sq ft .In this step the Architect will play a key role in giving guidance to the labor contractor in making sure that all the executions are happening as per the finalized and approved drawings.
OR
BUILDING CONTRACTOR – Give the construction contract to the ” Building contractor ” who will take care of the construction activity by taking care of the responsibility of supplying the required materials to the site. The normal charges for a building contractors is Rs 1,200 per sq ft to Rs 1,300 per sq ft normally the charges vary depending mostly on the finishing materials used.
