Architects & House Design in Bangalore

Common plot sizes in Bangalore

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

• 20x30 ft (600 sq ft)
• 30x40 ft (1,200 sq ft)
• 40x60 ft (2,400 sq ft)
• 50x80 ft (4,000 sq ft)

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

Climate and orientation

Mild year round at 900 m altitude, rarely above 36 C, with two monsoon spells. Cross ventilation and open courtyards matter more than heavy insulation. We also check the plot facing early, because Vastu placement and sun path have to be solved together.

Soil and structure

Red laterite and gravelly soil with good bearing capacity across most of the plateau; black cotton pockets near old tank beds need deeper footings. 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 Bangalore

Plans are sanctioned by BBMP and BDA (BDA for layouts, BBMP for plan sanction). BBMP typically permits G+2 to G+3 on sites under 4,000 sq ft, with FAR and setbacks scaling with plot width and road width under the Karnataka zoning regulations. 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 Bangalore (2026)

Expect roughly Rs 2,200 to Rs 3,500 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.
