    If you already own the land, I'd budget roughly LKR 20–35M for a decent 3BR house and another LKR 3–8M for a reliable used car, depending on the build quality and location.

    15 million if do everything from purchasing raw materials and overlooking construction. 10 for house (1500 sq feet single storey), 5 for vehicle

    20m ~1500sqft House (If you monitor the things)

    single-story house for 10 is possible but not 2

    suppose I have a land
    mn for a decent house and 15mn for a decent car
    15 million if do everything from purchasing raw materials and overlooking construction. 10 for house, 5 for vehicle
    20m ~1500sqft House (If you monitor the things)
    With everything including tiles, doors, windows, bathroom fittings, wiring, cctv you can consider the per sq ft cost as roughly 9000. For a 3 bedroom house 1500sqft should be good enough including the garage. So in that case around 135 laks or roughly 150laks. This is when you working with a contractor. If you do the contractor part (order the buliding materials, negotiate the wages, cordinate with various masons, carpenters) then it would be much lower.

    If you want to buy a car then put aside another 50 60 laks.

    I edited my comment to make things clearer before seeing yours. Even the square feet values are the same… 🤣
