Climate and orientation

Inland Dakshina Kannada, hot and sticky before the monsoon and then drenched for four months. Deep eaves, sloping roofs and raised plinths protect against rain and damp. We also check the plot facing early, because Vastu placement and sun path have to be solved together.

Soil and structure

Laterite hillocks with firm bearing on the slopes and soft alluvium along the Kumaradhara river, so hillside cut-and-fill is common. 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 Puttur

Plans are sanctioned by Puttur City Municipal Council and Dakshina Kannada Town Planning. The municipal council typically allows G+1 or G+2 on residential sites with setbacks based on plot width, and agricultural land needs conversion before sanction. 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 Puttur (2026)

Expect roughly Rs 1,600 to Rs 2,400 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.
