Hi everyone,
I have read through the topic and found it really helpful. I'm wondering though if anyone had experience in building a similar construction or could verify my logic based on what I learned on the forum.
I would like to keep the cost as low as possible with maintaining a reasonable quality. I intend to use local materials to cut transport costs and use local labour while overlooking the project myself.Â
¶Ù±ð²õ³¦°ù¾±±è³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô:Ìý Two storey, wooden cabana on bare ground (no slab), with clay covering outside and inside walls and hay roof.
Materials: Concrete (slab), Wood, Clay, Hay
Completion Level: Excluding furniture, bathroom fittings, electricity and water supply installations.
Size: 1400 sq feet (130sq m)
Question 1: How many people will I need to hire so the work goes smoothly but no need to complete in rush? How many of these need to be professionals i.e. roofer?
Question 2: What's the time required to complete this project excluding electricity and water supply installations? Assuming 3-4 workers involved (perhaps more needed?)?
Question 3: Common figures mentioned were between Rs 2000-4000 per sq feet and one contractor quoted Rs 650 per sq feet. Bearing in mind furniture, bathroom fittings, and electricity and water installation is excluded. Does Rs 540.000 (400 per sq feet) seem realistic to achieve the level of completion mentioned above?
Hi Dear
Am planning to construct a apartment in Colombo around 2+7 my land is 19 p. With raft foundation what will be aproximate cost per Sq ft with a roof top swimming pool luxury type and how long for construction?
Hi,
For structure it will be cost per sq feet 3000 LKR.
finishes cost depend on your selection, example porcelain tile will cost around 150-300 LKR/Sq ft but for marble it will cost more than 1000 LKR/Sq ft.
You can construct the structure with rate basic and for finishes keep it as provisional sum as per available financial capability.
regarding duration: minimum for one floor it will take 20-25 days.
Thanks

I am planning to buy 2 storey 3BR 2BRÂ house from a reputed real estate company. for building per sq.ft price is approx. SLR 8500. is it reasonable price
Hello everyone,
I’ve been reading through these posts and found the information quite useful. Therefore I was hoping someone could assist me with some approximate figures.
My wife and I plan to buy some beachfront land in Tangalle area, around 3000-4000sqm. We are looking to setup a small beach resort there.
We are looking at a two storey building with approximately 700sqm on both floors, so 1400sqm in total. We are looking at modern design with a semi luxury feel. We don’t want to import most of the material and prefer to use local where possible. My questions:
1. What would it cost per sqm to build such a property.
2. What is the approximate cost for landscaping per sqm in Sri Lanka.
3. How are swimming pools costed? If per sqm, what would be the average price?
4. What would be the average cost for a good architect in Sri Lanka.
Thanks for your help.
