Hyderabad thinks in square yards — plots, gajalu, land prices — while contractors quote per square foot. Mixing the two produces numbers that look comparable and are not.
Per Sq Yard of Built-Up Area
Multiply the per sq ft rate by 9:
| Finish | Per sq ft | Per sq yard (built-up) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹1,700 – 2,000 | ₹15,300 – 18,000 |
| Standard | ₹2,000 – 2,500 | ₹18,000 – 22,500 |
| Premium | ₹2,500 – 3,500+ | ₹22,500 – 31,500+ |
Per Sq Yard of Plot
This depends on built-up area per floor (after setbacks) and the number of floors:
| Plot | Configuration | Built-up | Standard cost | Per sq yard of plot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 sq yd | G+1 | ~1,800 sq ft | ₹36 – 45 lakh | ₹24,000 – 30,000 |
| 200 sq yd | G+1 | ~2,400 sq ft | ₹48 – 60 lakh | ₹24,000 – 30,000 |
| 200 sq yd | G+2 | ~3,600 sq ft | ₹72 – 90 lakh | ₹36,000 – 45,000 |
| 300 sq yd | G+1 | ~3,400 sq ft | ₹68 – 85 lakh | ₹22,700 – 28,300 |
Per sq yard of plot rises with every floor you add, which is why the figure is meaningless without the number of floors.
Which Number to Use
Budget on the per sq ft rate times built-up area, because that is how contractors quote and how materials scale. Convert to per sq yard only to compare with a quote or listing that uses it — and ask whether it means built-up or plot.
The Short Version
Per sq yard of construction = per sq ft × 9 (about ₹18,000–22,500 standard). Per sq yard of plot depends on how many floors you build. Always ask which one a quote means.
