We Plan the Building Project in Detail Before Starting to Build

Whether building new or renovating an existing structure, creating a new home is a journey of discovering who you are, what you want, how you want to live, and where you want to be. It's a chance for you to define your relationship to the world, to your family and to yourself. Creating a home is more than building "3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms." It is so much more than the sum of a few parts. As with any journey, you'll want to do some research and plan your trip. You'll want to have a sense of what the end result should be and how much it'll cost. And while you'll no doubt be able to go it alone, having a seasoned and experienced guide show you the way will likely mean a more enjoyable, more enriching and overall better journey.

How Much Does It Cost To Build A House? /(Home Construction Cost in Kandy)

Home Construction Cost Per Square Foot in Kandy

It’s the most common question we get asked – what is the cost of building a house in Kandy? Most people say – how long’s a piece of string? But we’re not going to give some vague answer, we want to create clarity around the topic.

When looking at a cost per square foot or cost per square meter rate to build a house, always ask what is included and what is excluded, we’ve seen proposals filled with cost per square meter rates that excluded foundations, tile works etc....

If we say house construction rates in Kandy between RS.4900/= and Rs.6500/= per square feet, you would be looking at 1500 sq.ft to 2500 sq.ft of stunning home. It is a large difference, but much depends on the style of house design, material specifications and ease of working on site (including ground works). There will be many variables in your final cost depending on where you live, the total square footage, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, type of flooring, cabinets, appliances, etc. This is why we suggest getting in touch with Kedella Homes and having a discussion to go through brief, site and budget to understand what is affordable. In addition to the cost of your land, costs vary considerably based on location and all your choices in design and interior and exterior finishes.

Building Construction Prices of Kedella Homes Might Surprise You

Average Cost To Build A House in Kandy.

The average cost to build a house is between Rs.5200/= to Rs.6600/= per square foot depending on your location, size of the home, and if modern or custom designs are used. New home construction for a 2,000 square foot home runs Rs. 10400000/= to Rs.13200000/= on average.

We had a client in 2018 built a 2100 Sq.Ft home for Rs 4600/Sq.Ft. It was in Peradeniya, on a flat site, 4.55m large living, fairly standard specification. At the same time its super easy to get over Rs.5000 per square feet as soon as the site is anything steeper than flat, retaining walls get introduced and you start wanting to customise (as we do) the design.

What Pushes Home Construction Cost Up?

• Elevated sites, exposed to the wind
• Steep (or even not so steep) sites that require retaining walls
• Unsuitable ground requiring engineering design
• Large square metres of glass (leading to steel portals)
• Open expanses of living areas (requiring engineering due to lack of bracing)
• Cantilevered decks, roofs, floors
• Expensive cladding & roofing
• Difficult site access
• Any build methods that are time consuming

If you do decide to go custom design, your dream home will only account for 70% or less of your final costs. Then you’ll have to factor in the cost of the land, financing, finishing out the lot, landscaping, and more.

With all our designs we manage as much as possible to keep the home within your budget, and we do budget costing along the way. There’s no point designing a home you can’t afford!

Please Note that Some House Construction Companies in Sri Lanka hide costs and essential details to get your project. Don't be fooled. Any company that starts promising homes for unusually low prices you need to take a good hard look at what is and isn’t included, often they use the low prices to attract clients, sell and deliver the home then leave you floundering with extra costs.

Other Notes: A Square metre (m2) is a 1m by 1m square box. The area should be measured from the exterior of the wall framing. For two storey homes add the downstairs m2 to the upstairs m2.

How is the Construction Company paid?

You need to be paid in installments, at each stage of the home build.

As each stage is complete, from grading the land and then pouring the concrete slab that serves as the foundation, to erecting the structure of the house, to installing the electric, HVAC and other systems, to putting in the drywall, to installing the “hard surfaces” within the home, your lender(Bank) will send an inspector out to make sure that the work in that stage has been completed, before releasing funds. 0702 222 111

Factors to consider when you are searching a land for your new home

Your home’s location will affect what you want to and can do with the house, structurally and aesthetically. When it comes to purchasing land, one of the first questions you might have is where to start looking for property. Depending on where you live, you might find online sites where sellers post raw land for sale, or you can purchase land from a builder who has already subdivided the area.

When looking at properties, consider the following:

• The size of the lot
• Closeness of neighbors
• Slope/flatness of land
• Direction the plot faces (Where will the sun be?)
• Natural surroundings (forest, field, water, etc.)
• Trees (Remember – tall, old trees can’t just be planted)
• The style of other houses in the neighborhood (if applicable)
• Access to resources (Will you need a well? Septic tank? New power or phone line ?)
• Having a view versus privacy

Talk to a Professional! Although it is not necessary, having a professional such as an architect or professional Construction Company look at the property you are interested in may save your some headaches down the line by ensuring you can do what you want on that piece of land.

Frequently asked questions

We’re thinking about building a custom home, but have never built before. What are the things we should consider?

Some considerations are the same for building a home and buying an existing home, such as location, affordability and the suitability of the home for your lifestyle. When building a custom home, you need to be prepared to commit some time, especially in the planning stage. This is where your list of “must haves”, “like to haves”, and “if we could only” features begin to take shape. At the same time, you should be settling in on a lot, considering financing options and choosing a Construction Company. One of the key elements of custom home-building success is in the high degree of communications between the Building Construction Company and homeowner. During construction, you will need to make a myriad of decisions on the details. And in every project of this size, there usually are some unexpected challenges, including weather. So be prepared to continue your commitment of time and insist on a schedule for construction, communications and good follow-through and assistance from your Construction Company. As you can see, building a custom home takes time and commitment, but fortunately it almost always is an exciting and rewarding challenge, with the resulting custom home a reflection of you.

Do you have model homes or is each home built from scratch?

Yes. We are doing both. Kedella Homes design and build model homes. For us, model homes are a focal point for new ideas and fresh concepts, as well as a showcase for our favorite features, such as open floor plans, striking entryways, elegantly functional kitchens, beautiful stairways and of course distinctive fireplaces. We love to brainstorm with our customers in our model because it provides the perfect backdrop to visually explore ideas, define needs, talk about features and figure out how the home we build for them will be uniquely theirs. Of course, We offer our model Homes for sale as they are built, and many times a prospective customer will decide to make it their own long before it is finished. But we always make sure to reserve time to “show off” the latest model homes so we can meet new people to brainstorm with.

What kinds of architectural styles do you offer?

Just about any architectural style you can think of. We don’t just work off a fixed set of floor plans, and we’re not limited to certain styles that we’ve done in the past. In fact, if you really want us to get excited about your home, ask us to design and build a home we’ve never done before!

Is building more expensive than buying?

Due to lack of supply of newly built homes, increases the demand, which makes finding an existing home within your price range more difficult, and when you do find it, you may overpay for it. Because of this, we’re seeing more and more families opt to build a new home. And they’re finding out that doing so is actually more cost effective than purchasing an existing home when you factor in the costs of maintaining and updating an existing home versus walking into a brand new home.

How long does it take to build a new home?

There’s a huge misconception when it comes to a realistic building timeline. We understand that it goes over better to tell a client that a home can be built in just a few months, but that’s a misleading comment. In all reality, building a new home entails much more than just the actual construction phase of the process.

you’re well aware that a perfectly executed and planned out construction schedule can easily be delayed by weeks or months depending on weather. So all in all, a 7-8 month process is the most realistic timeline we can provide to you, and that’s if there aren’t any major delays during the actual construction of the home.

Is a 2-story house more expensive to build?

Two-story homes are typically more cost effective to build simply because you can add square footage with each floor by stacking without increasing the size of the foundation or footprint of the structure. That being said, you can also save a significant amount of money by taking your plan from a walkout basement to a daylight basement.

Can I save money by choosing an existing set of plans instead of going through the custom design process?

It costs several thousand rupees to have a new house plans drawn up for your home, and so some people ask themselves: “If I just choose a set of existing plans, won’t I avoid the whole design process and save the time and money?” While this is seems logical, our experience over the years has shown that the cost savings between creating a custom design vs choosing a “predesigned” home plan is basically no cost savings at all. we build each home to suit the exact needs and desires of the client. However, we do have a collection of floor plans for some of the homes we’ve previously built to give people ideas for inspiration.

Here’s why: predesigned plans are designed to fit a general list of requirements to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. With a plan that’s this generic, you’ll usually find yourself trying to fit your family and your lifestyle into a home that wasn’t designed with you in mind. So think about it this way: when you’re building a home, every additional square foot costs you lots of rupees (Average cost to build a house in Kandy is about Rs4500/sq ft). With this in mind, if your home has just 100 square feet of wasted space in the stock floor plans, you’ve just paid Rs.450000/= for extra room you’ll never use. Building a new home avoids having this unnecessary square footage in the first place, so while you may spend Rs50,000-Rs150,000 on a new set of plans, you don’t have to build a home from a plan you like but that has 200 square feet more than you need. So if we can save you that 200 square feet, you’ve just avoided spending 900000/=. Not a bad deal, right?

When we begin our design and build process with a new client, we don’t ask “Would you like floor plan A, B or C?” — instead, we ask “How do you live your life?" and through a long line of questioning, we will create a home design that works for you.

You call yourself a ‘design and build’ contractor. What does that mean?

Here’s the quick answer: design and build contracting is a building process where a Construction Company is involved with every aspect of a construction project from the very beginning of the design process.
