Transport & Handling

Construction materials are usually brought from far away distances or are manufactured elsewhere, hence need to be transported to the site or the place where they are required for the construction project. Also, construction materials are bulky and heavy hence costs more for transportation

Besides this, all of those construction materials are to be lifted to desired places, hence handling charges are incurred which are labour charges for lifting and placing those materials for the work to happen.

This cost can differ in different locations.

Labour Charges

Labour cost or Workers charges is the second biggest cost factor of any construction project.

Right from the excavation to the final painting and cleaning of the site before handover to clients, every construction activity is highly labour intensive and consumes lots of man hours to complete.

Tentatively, combined labour charges of all the works involved in a construction project contributes almost 50 to 60 percent of the total construction cost in Surat for any home building project.
