builders profit

construction cost of making a flat is 1000/- per square feet and sold at 2500/- per square feet.calculate the profit made by builders on sale of flat. so there is rush to become builders and market is running.

you havent taken into account the cost of the land which adds to the FAR Value.... therefore the cost of construction only minus the sale price is not the profit value. besides this... there are other hidden costs such as plan sanction, brokerage and local goons which have to be dealt with which are unforseen expenses and adds to the cost of the estate.

DONT BUY A HOME. ITS NOT WORTH SPENDING LACS OF RUPEES TO ASCERTAIN SOME FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.

developer never furnishes. Woodwork-shelves/cupboards, wall paints on preference (developer will give neutral color), good lighting and fittings, modular kitchen, AC, geyser, new furniture, etc etc. Its better to do it before moving in then after, as after never really comes. It will cost around 3-10 lacs depending on requirement. Once done it feels more like home, else the flat feels like a empty house and nags you. Anyway every 4 years repaint is needed, plumbing check, door/window check and electrical wiring check is needed.

Yes.. I agree with you Falak. But these charges depend on personal preferences. They can be as low as your budget for furniture furnishings can be, hence i have not included them in the article.

OMAXE not ready to give possession of 2 BHK Flat after 5 years
by rameshwar singh on Jul 10, 2011 09:56 AM  | Hide replies

Dear All,
I have booked a 2 BHK flat in Omaxe PARKWOODS, Baddi (H.P.) in November 2006. But till date the so called reputed group OMAXE is unable to provide me possession of flat. They always reply me that you will get possession in coming 3-4 months, but these 3 - 4 months are not going to end. So this is my moral duty to inform all of you about fake OMAXE group.

So sad to hear this for a reputed builder like Omaxe. I think they must have included a late delivery charge in your buyer's agreement. It is generally paid @ Rs. 5 per sq. ft. per month if builder delays the delivery of flat after 36 months on start of construction.
