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

Climate and orientation

Humid Brahmaputra valley with heavy monsoon flooding and landslide-prone hills, plus seismic zone V. Elevated plinths, pitched roofs and earthquake-resistant frames are mandatory thinking. We also check the plot facing early, because Vastu placement and sun path have to be solved together.

Soil and structure

Brahmaputra alluvium with a high water table on the plains and weathered granite on the hills, so soil tests and deep footings are routine. 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 Guwahati

Plans are sanctioned by Guwahati Municipal Corporation and GMDA. GMDA building bylaws typically allow G+2 on standard plots with mandatory seismic zone V structural design and hill-cutting restrictions. 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 Guwahati (2026)

Expect roughly Rs 1,900 to Rs 2,900 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.
