|  Topic: Need help in valididating whether these rates are normal
First of all congratulations and thanks to the founders of this website. It has a lot of useful information and its estimator tool has lot of potential. Excellent job..
My wife and I are getting our home constructed in Pune. Its a three level house (including ground level) with interior space of approx 3100 Sq ft. The construction started almost two years ago and so far what we have is a shell of the house (RCC, brick walls, interior/exterior plaster, compound walls, over head water tank, under ground water tank etc). We hired a contractor who takes 12% over the cost (material + labor) for his supervision work. Currently, we live abroad, so the contractor also bought materials on our behalf. I'd really appreciate if someone can validate/verify some of the labor charges I received lately are the normal labor rates for Pune:
* Overhead water tank (10,000 lit) @ Rs 9.25/lit
* Underground water tank (10,000 lit) @ Rs 9.25/lt
* 9" Brick masonry work @ Rs 95 / cft
* 6" Brick masonry work @ Rs. 65 / Sq ft
* Internal plaster @ Rs. 21 / Sq ft
* External plaster @ Rs 36 / Sq ft
* Water proofing for toilets @ Rs 71 / Sq ft
* Water proofing for terrace @ Rs 64 / Sq ft
* Water proofing for water tanks @ Rs 34 / Sq ft
* Masonry for compound wall @ Rs. 64 / cft
We'd really appreciate if someone can validate this. I wish I found this service two years ago, as I would have used the architectural service thats being provided. We paid our current Architect Rs 2 lakh and I still do not have final drawings.
Thanks
