- Land isn't included. Sources for villa costs are mostly builders and differ by up to 2×, so treat this as a starting point.

How we work this out
Rules, not AI: your inputs times rates per city, gathered in November 2026 from builders, cement and paint brands, banks, interiors firms and government pages. Most published rates come from firms that sell this work, and they often disagree, so we show a range. Use it to plan and to compare quotes, not as a quote.
