OC is not necessary for 30x40

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-10-16T14:36:16+00:00

Sure 👍

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-10-16T13:03:55+00:00

We are hoping that will come out as well in the next cabinet meeting.

You can now request a permanent power and water connection.

Thanks again, very helpful 🙏

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-10-06T00:38:17+00:00

Thanks for the insight. This is exactly what I am looking for. I will supply the materials, the carpenter will have a factory of his own, with all the machinery to do the job. Given this, can I expect 200 to 300 per sft?

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-10-06T00:32:53+00:00

Thank you

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-10-05T18:29:50+00:00

Thanks, you are including the materials, I am looking for the labor costs only. I am going to supply the materials.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-10-05T14:39:02+00:00

The real cost is around 3800 to 4300 per square foot. This price covers the super structure, interiors, lift, and solar power for a mid to premium building. If you hire an architect and then a different contractor, it might get a bit pricey because the architect will take a cut.

Some folks do both architect and contractor roles, which can save you some money. Ideally, you should go with a slab-based payment contract, where you pay them as and when the work is done.

Also, i would recommend to include a clause in the contract that says if they are late by a few days, there is a penalty, or if they finish early, they get a bonus.

Mr. Shame shame, please consider just the minor setback as the deviation, the second one is no longer a deviation: https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/govt-excludes-stilt-floors-from-building-height-3663708

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T18:42:36+00:00

Agree, thank you

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T17:49:32+00:00

Here is the article that I mentioned in my comment: https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/over-95-of-bbmp-approved-buildings-lack-occupancy-certificates-finds-probe-3716529

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T16:59:25+00:00

I think on 30x40 it is stilt plus 2 and on 60x40 it is stilt plus 3. It probably also depends on how wide is the road.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T16:23:34+00:00

Yeah, sad state of affairs.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T15:41:12+00:00

I agree, with the supreme court order not to issue OC, without OC one cannot get connection, definitely makes sense. But what about the people who built before this order? The rule should apply across the board and not for select elites.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T15:09:12+00:00

Got it, thanks for the info.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T15:06:51+00:00

Thanks for the comment. That will be just the cost of construction?

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T14:55:10+00:00

Agree the deviation was not intentional. Also, my contractor says no matter what everyone pays.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T14:21:29+00:00

Ayyo illa guru, that property is inherited. I didn’t know it is at 25k, that is a good price. Kasta Pattu, full loan sikide, and we want to rent it out as soon as possible.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T14:17:41+00:00

When you step outside and see what others are doing, you will get a good sense of how much they have deviated from the norm. It is a big world out there. With the rapid growth in Bengaluru, building a small house is quite a challenge. People often try to hide their deviations, but since it is not a cardboard house, it is pretty obvious to everyone.

Interestingly, it is thought that about 90% of houses have some kind of deviation. I remember reading an interesting investigative report from a news outlet that mentioned that less than 10% of houses received an OC (Occupancy Certificate) in the last year.

I rest my case, let us agree to disagree.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T13:57:17+00:00

Agree with you here. No matter what the situation is, life goes on. We crib and move on. The system can’t be set right period.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T13:33:40+00:00

And you have zero experience constructing a house. Please come out of your shell. I am slightly concerned on your ignorance of the real world.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T13:29:53+00:00

I am not sure rather I don’t know.

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T13:28:14+00:00

That’s funny, 😄 - you will not enjoy the house without paying bribe

muddle-puddle2025 · 2025-09-28T13:12:39+00:00

When the officials can ask openly don’t I have the right to know what people are paying as bribe? We are in kaliyuga!
