FIRST & MAIN RULE 
What ever is the cost given by your contractor/architect - It shall double by the time it is completed
WE RE BUILDING A HOME - NOT A FACTORY - RELAX- IT HAPPENS WITH EVERYONE - WE ADD A FEW MINOR THINGS AND AT THE END THE COST IS DOUBLE
Wash Basins don't come with the Tap Fittings shown
The shopkeeper installs the most expensive Tap Fitting & we end up buying that as all others don't look good or we are unable to picture that properly - No Big Deal….. Well the cost of the Tap Fitting is almost 25% of the Wash basin
Light Fixtures don't come with CFL Bulbs
No Big Deal….. A 12″ Celing Fixture costs around Rs.250 to Rs.500 & a 20W CFL Bulb costs Rs.175 and you require two CFL in one fitting
Re-modelling & Labour Costs
No Big Deal…..India has the second largest population in the world and there are plenty of people without work…..Skilled labour is never available and where available is very very expensive… Blue Colored guys earn more than a white Collared Guy
e.g Converting Indian Toilet to Western
The Commode costs 1500 to 3500….The cost of Plumbing, Tiling, Waterproofing etc come to around Rs.5000 to Rs.7000
Take As many photos from different angles and store them on your
will require them a lot n as they
say A Picture is a Thousand Words….when discussing with contractors,
painters etc it helps a lot.
Keep the dimensions of all areas as much as possible…e..g passage, height, door, windows, loft, space between doors etc…also in your (u’ll be suprised by the no of measurements u require)
Workers mistake is YOUR EXPENSE
- keep this in mind and don't even bother to argue if anything goes wrong
