Climate and orientation

Himalayan foothills gateway with very heavy monsoon rain, humid summers and chilly winters. Steep roofs, raised plinths and earthquake-resistant framing are essential. We also check the plot facing early, because Vastu placement and sun path have to be solved together.

Soil and structure

Terai alluvium with sand and pebble beds from the Mahananda, high water table in parts, located in seismic zone IV. 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 Siliguri

Plans are sanctioned by Siliguri Municipal Corporation and SJDA. SMC and SJDA usually permit G+2 on standard plots with seismic zone IV structural requirements and 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 Siliguri (2026)

Expect roughly Rs 1,700 to Rs 2,600 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.
