Common plot sizes in Ara

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

• 1,000 sq ft (approx 25x40)
• 1,200 sq ft (approx 30x40)
• 1,800 sq ft (approx 30x60)
• 2,500 sq ft

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

Climate and orientation

Dry hot summers above 43 C, monsoon rain with Sone canal waterlogging and cold winters. Thick walls, courtyards and raised plinths define practical homes here. We also check the plot facing early, because Vastu placement and sun path have to be solved together.

Soil and structure

Sandy alluvium from the Sone and Ganga with moderate water table and seismic zone III to IV, suiting wide isolated 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 Ara

Plans are sanctioned by Ara Municipal Corporation. The corporation generally permits G+2 on standard plots under Bihar bylaws with setbacks based on plot area. 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 Ara (2026)

Expect roughly Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,200 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.
