Initial Planning & Budgeting
Before you dig the first pit, planning is crucial. On a 1000 sq. ft. plot, a typical G+1 or G+2 structure is possible depending on local municipal norms.
Sample Budget Range:
Basic 2BHK G+0 house: ₹18–22 lakhs
G+1 (2 floors): ₹30–40 lakhs (includes interiors)
Set aside 10% for contingency, and always budget 10–15% for interiors and fittings (kitchen, wardrobes, paint, etc.).
Design & Layout Ideas
For 2BHK (Single Floor – 1000 sq. ft.):
Living Room: 14' x 12'

Interior Design Basics
For a 2BHK layout:
Use light wall colors (beige, off-white) to make rooms feel larger
Modular kitchen with open shelves saves space
Use sliding wardrobes to maximize floor area
Add large windows for ventilation and daylight
Install ceiling fans and LED lights for energy efficiency
For a 3BHK:
Create a reading nook or mini home office
Wall-mounted TVs and foldable dining tables can save space
