Guides for Bangalore homeowners

Plain guides to designing and building a home in Bangalore.

Building or doing up a home in Bangalore means learning a lot, fast. You need to know what drives construction cost, and how BBMP sanction and khata work. You need to know what you can fit on a 30x40 or a 40x60, and how a duplex is planned. And you need to know what separates good interiors from cheap ones. These guides answer those questions straight. They are written to help you decide well, not to sell you our studio.

Who these are for

Read before you commit.

These guides are for anyone weighing up a home in Bangalore. That includes first-time builders on a BDA site and families renovating an older house. It includes owners fitting out an apartment. And it includes people living abroad who need to understand the ground before they start. We keep prices out of them on purpose. Where a number depends on your site, brief or the day's rates, we say so. We do not quote a figure that would be wrong for you.

  • AHonest, not promotional. Buyer's-side thinking, including where a studio like ours may not be the right call.
  • BBangalore-specific. BBMP and BDA rules, local plot sizes and the way homes here are built.
  • CVerify before you act. Rules and rates change. Treat legal and cost detail as a starting point, and confirm the current position.
