What is the construction cost per sq ft of a house?

How much does a 1000 sq ft house cost to build?
At ₹2,000–2,800 per sq ft, a 1000 sq ft house costs about ₹20–28 lakh to build, without land and approvals. Use the calculator for your city and finishing.

Thumb rules for an RCC framed building: about 0.4 bag of cement, 3.5–4.5 kg of steel, 1.8 cft of sand, 1.35 cft of aggregate and 8 bricks per sq ft of built-up area. Change them under Assumptions.
What is not included?
Land, building approvals and fees, architect and structural engineer fees, compound wall, borewell, furniture and interiors. Add them separately.
