Common plot sizes in Agra

Most of the Agra plots we design for fall in these sizes:

• 100 sq yd (approx 25x36 ft)
• 150 sq yd (approx 25x54 ft)
• 200 sq yd (approx 30x60 ft)
• 300 sq yd (approx 40x68 ft)
• 500 sq yd (approx 50x90 ft)

Browse 30x40 plans, 30x50 plans or 40x60 plans to see what fits, or go by 3 BHK layouts.

Climate and orientation

Semi arid Braj heat touches 46 C with hot winds off Rajasthan; red sandstone jaalis, inward courtyards and shaded terraces are a local legacy worth continuing. We also check the plot facing early, because Vastu placement and sun path have to be solved together.

Soil and structure

Compact Yamuna alluvium with sandstone close to the surface on the ridge side, giving strong bearing; the river floodplain near Dayalbagh needs a flood check. Our structural engineer sizes footings and columns from the soil report, which is why we ask for a soil test before the working drawings are issued.

Approvals in Agra

Plans are sanctioned by Agra Development Authority (ADA) and Nagar Nigam. ADA plots usually allow ground plus two floors with setbacks by plot size; the Taj Trapezium Zone and heritage buffer rules limit height and materials near monuments. We draw to those setbacks and ground coverage limits from the first sketch, so the sanction drawing and the design are the same drawing.

Construction cost in Agra (2026)

Expect roughly Rs 1,700 to Rs 2,600 per sq ft for an independent house, labour and material, excluding land. Standard finishes sit at the lower end; stone elevations, premium flooring and modular interiors push it to the top. Try the construction cost calculator for your plot, or read how construction cost per sq ft breaks down.

What gets built in Agra

Mughal red sandstone trims, chhatris on the parapet and arched entrances are mixed with flat roof moderns in the shoe and leather business colonies. See elevation design for the styles we draw most.
