How architects usually charge in India
Quotes for a house design in India come in three common forms: a percentage of the construction cost, a rate per sq ft of built-up area, or a fixed price per drawing. A percentage grows with the house and its finishes; a per sq ft rate grows with the area; a fixed price is known before you start. Design SQR uses fixed prices by plot size and floors, listed above. When you compare quotes, check which drawings each one includes and how many rounds of changes.
What changes the price
- Floors: a G+1 or G+2 plan has more drawings than a ground-floor-only house.
- Plot size: the fixed prices cover plots up to 1,200 sq ft, and larger plots are priced by area.
- 2D only, or a 3D plan and 3D front elevation as well.
- Construction drawings: structural, electrical and plumbing, priced on the rate card.
- Map approval drawings and the authority's own fees; see नक्शा पास कैसे कराएँ.
Cost of the drawings and cost of building
The drawings are a small part of the cost of a house. For the cost of building, try the construction cost calculator or see house construction cost by city. Questions? Contact us.
Common questions on house plan cost
How much does a house plan cost in India?
At Design SQR, a G+1 house on a 30x40 (1,200 sq ft) plot costs 2D floor plan ₹5,199, 3D floor plan ₹7,999 and 3D front elevation ₹5,999 (November 2026 rates). It is a fixed price by plot size and floors, not a share of the building cost; larger plots and more floors cost more.
How much does a 2D floor plan cost for a 30x40 plot?
For a ground-floor-only house on a 30x40 plot: 2D floor plan ₹2,999, 3D floor plan ₹4,999 and 3D front elevation ₹3,999; for G+1, 2D floor plan ₹5,199, 3D floor plan ₹7,999 and 3D front elevation ₹5,999 (November 2026 rates).
Is the fee a percentage of construction cost?
Not at Design SQR: each drawing has a fixed price by plot size and floors, shown on this page and on the rate card. Many architects in India charge a percentage of the construction cost or a rate per sq ft instead; ask which method a quote uses.
How long does a house plan take?
The first 2D floor plan in 2–3 days. The 3D plan, 3D front elevation and engineering drawings in 5 working days. Two rounds of changes after we send you the first draft.
How is the price worked out for a large plot?
The fixed prices cover plots up to 1,200 sq ft. On a larger plot the price grows in proportion to the area; the rate card shows every line.
Is a free house plan good enough to build from?
Not on its own. A free or downloaded plan was drawn for another plot. To build, you need a plan for your plot's size, facing and setbacks, structural drawings for columns, beams and footings, and the drawings your local authority asks for to pass the map.
Is designing the plan the same as getting it approved?
No. Designing the plan is our work; approval (naksha pass) is done by your municipal body or development authority, with its own fees. Our state guides explain who approves where.
