Why Calculating Plumbing Cost Per Point Is Important?
Plumbing typically claims 12-18% of construction budgets, yet vague quotes lead to 20-30% escalations. Cost per point breaks it down transparently: materials + labour + fittings + testing for each fixture (wash basin, EWC, shower, etc.). Benefits include:
- Accurate Tendering: Compare contractor bids apples-to-apples.
- Cash Flow Control: Predict payments phase-wise (roughing, fixtures, testing).
- Profit Margins: Builders lock 15-20% margins with precise BOQs.
- Client Trust: Homeowners see itemized costs, reducing disputes.
For a 4BHK villa, misestimation can add ₹2-3 lakhs—don’t risk it.
