At 300 square yards there is room for a large family home with a garden, parking on the plot and generous rooms — or for rental units on every floor. This guide works out what fits and what it costs.
Built-Up Area After Setbacks
Worked example, 45 × 60 ft (13.72 × 18.29 m), using typical setbacks for a plot of 200–300 m² on a road up to 12 m (about 2 m front, 1.5 m sides and rear):
- Width: 13.72 − 2 × 1.5 = 10.72 m
- Depth: 18.29 − 2 − 1.5 = 14.79 m
- Footprint: about 158.5 m² = about 1,700 sq ft per floor (63% of the plot)
Plot shape and road width change this; your architect confirms it.
What Does It Cost?
| Configuration | Built-up | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ground only | ~1,700 sq ft | ₹29 – 34 lakh | ₹34 – 42.5 lakh | ₹42.5 – 59.5 lakh |
| G+1 | ~3,400 sq ft | ₹58 – 68 lakh | ₹68 – 85 lakh | ₹85 lakh – 1.19 cr |
| G+2 | ~5,100 sq ft | ₹87 lakh – 1.02 cr | ₹1.02 – 1.28 cr | ₹1.28 – 1.79 cr |
Add 10–20 percent for approvals, design fees, sump, septic tank, compound wall (a 300 sq yard plot has a long perimeter), borewell and connections.
What Fits
| Layout | On ~1,700 sq ft per floor |
|---|---|
| Spacious 3BHK with a study | Yes |
| 4BHK with compact rooms | Yes |
| Two 2BHK rental units | Yes |
| Covered car parking plus a 2BHK | As stilt + floors above |
Materials for a G+1 (~3,400 sq ft)
| Material | Approximate quantity |
|---|---|
| Cement | about 1,350 bags |
| TMT steel | 12 – 15 tonnes |
| Sand | about 6,100 cft |
| Aggregate | about 4,600 cft |
At this scale a ₹2 per kg saving on 13 tonnes of steel is ₹26,000, and ₹10 per bag on 1,350 bags of cement is ₹13,500.
The Short Version
About 1,700 sq ft per floor, ₹68–85 lakh for a standard G+1 in 2026, plus extras and a long compound wall. Room for a large home or rental floors — design the structure for the final number of floors from the start.
