• 2,400 sq ft (1 ground)
• 3,600 sq ft

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

Climate and orientation

Coastal, humid, with heavy north-east monsoon and cyclone exposure. Sea-breeze orientation, salt-resistant finishes and good roof drainage come first. We also check the plot facing early, because Vastu placement and sun path have to be solved together.

Soil and structure

Sandy coastal soil near the beach and clayey alluvium further inland, with a shallow water table that often calls for raft slabs. 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 Puducherry

Plans are sanctioned by Puducherry Planning Authority and Puducherry Municipality. The planning authority usually allows G+1 or G+2 on standard plots, with strict heritage facade controls inside the Boulevard town and CRZ limits near the shore. 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 Puducherry (2026)

Expect roughly Rs 1,800 to Rs 2,700 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.
