Hi Skerians,

I am in the design process for 4 bedroom (approxmately 3600 sq ft) townhouse standing on half acre of land in Garden estate. The land has black cotton soil. I intend top start construction in the second quarter of 2009,where I will source for suitable contractor to oversee the assignment. I am considering buying all materials with the contractor providing labour and supervision of entire process. If i found suitable contractor I can outsource the entire process. I would like to get estimates of the total contruction cost although my tentative budget is 5m + or minus 10%. Please share any experiences,and also provide references of QS and contractors.



Happy New year and God bless SK community

to start with i think the floor area seems to me to be far too small for a maisonette. 3600sq.ft works out to be only 108sq.m for both the floors (downstairs and upstairs) meaning that each floor will have on average of 54sq.m. What amenities do you intend to have in the building? that is no. of bedrooms,toilets,bathrooms etc.
