Dear Harsh, It depends upon which type of construction you want to do..1. to save money,time and exertion,,go for Lab+Material contractor,but beaware of cheators,Fix the specifications first and check it during construction, take help of Architect or Engineer for technical supervision.
2. If you hire a reliable Architect or Engineer for designing and technical Supervision of construction and you have sufficient time for arranging materials,then go for Only labour contractor , who work under the guidence of Arch./Engr.Mainly it is in practice when you want a Quality construction without any compromise,it shows your involvement with the HOUSE to be constructed. | | |

Thanks for your answer.Pls clarify one more doubt.... You said that labour + material contract will be cost effective. But dont you think that if suppose i can get the same quality building made by both routes, ie via a labour only contract and also via a labour plus material contract, then between these two types of contract, the labour only contract will be cheaper as contractor will not take margin on materials. You can assume i have enought time to arrange for material and periodic technical inspection by engineer/architect.

If you have time and planning than the work done through labor rate contact will be economical and the material used is of best quality and the specification adopted is according to you and quality of work is better.Beside margin the contractor tries to use inferior material and in habit of saving steel and cement etc.
