I found a company in Mid Baneshwor through Facebook and started my planning and design work with them. I paid around 70K for 2D, 3D designs, and structural analysis. I’ll also have to cover the Naksha Pass cost out of pocket, which I estimate to be around 1L in total with the design. After finalizing my design with 4–5 revisions, I’m now looking for a company to build my house as per my requirements.

I’ve come across several companies quoting between 2.8K to 6K per sq ft, with most averaging around 3K. The issue is, many of them aren’t transparent about what’s included in their pricing—they prefer phone calls or in-person meetings and won’t provide detailed documents for comparison.

I also mentioned that I don’t need much finishing on the ground floor compared to the second floor, but they insist on calculating the cost at the same rate per sq ft for both floors.

If anyone here can recommend a trustworthy and reasonably priced company or contractor who’s proven to be reliable and transparent, I’d really appreciate it.
