Archst

Rates by city · India

It costs 45% more to build in Mumbai than in Bhopal.

Same house, same drawings, same finish. Almost all of the difference is labour and cartage — cement and steel cost roughly the same everywhere, a mason's day rate does not. Tap a city.

Archst still prices a build anywhere in India using two general bands, so a plot in a town with no entry above is not left without a figure.

Your city, your rooms, your finish

A per-square-foot rate is a starting point, not a plan. The app takes seven questions and gives you an itemised band — structure, finishes, electrical, plumbing, kitchen — for the house you actually want, in the city you are actually building in.

All figures are indicative 2026 Indian market bands for a contemporary house at a comfortable finish, produced by the same model that runs inside the app. Rates shown per square foot of built-up area. Nothing here is a quotation.
