FAQ
Why can finishing exceed grey structure?
Premium tiles, sanitary fixtures, woodwork, kitchens, electrical fixtures, and facade choices can make finishing more expensive than structure.
Should I use manual finishing rate?
Use it when you already have a local contractor or supplier rate that is more realistic than the default quality bands.
Is contingency required?
Yes. Even well-planned projects face rate changes, wastage, rework, and scope changes.
