Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in an end-to-end construction package?+
Our end-to-end coordination covers soil SBC testing, architectural and structural design, BOQ preparation, partner selection, material sourcing, stage-wise site supervision, quality testing, and formal handover — including execution partner warranty documentation and all lab test certificates. Construction execution is performed by the appointed partner contractor.
Are the per-sqft rates inclusive of all materials?+
The per-sqft rates cover the structural work, brickwork, plastering, waterproofing, basic flooring, electrical wiring (excluding fixtures), and plumbing roughing. Premium items like designer tiles, modular kitchens, wardrobes, and false ceilings are additional and quoted separately.
What is the difference between Buildogram’s end-to-end coordination and a self-managed contractor build?+
In a self-managed contractor build, you hire the contractor, source materials yourself, and have no independent verification of work quality. With Buildogram, an independent engineering team reviews your BOQ, coordinates execution partners, verifies materials and supervises each construction stage — all under a transparent, documented process.
Can I customise materials in a turnkey package?+
Yes. The packages are a starting baseline. You can upgrade specific elements (e.g., use premium tiles but standard fittings) or downgrade others. All customisations are reflected in the final BOQ before contract signing.
How long does a turnkey G+1 construction take?+
A standard G+1 turnkey project (2,000 sqft) takes 14–18 months from soil test to handover — including design (2 months), approval (1–2 months), and construction (10–12 months).
Do you manage CMDA approval in a turnkey package?+
Yes. Our empanelled architects handle the full CMDA/DTCP drawing submission and approval process. The approval timeline depends on the authority's processing speed — typically 3–6 months.
What if the project costs more than the initial BOQ?+
Buildogram reduces cost uncertainty through an itemised BOQ, scope verification, quotation comparison and documented variation tracking. Contractor-caused errors or material waste are a contractor liability under the execution contract. However, final project cost may change due to client-approved design changes, unforeseen site conditions, statutory requirements or material-price movements — all of which are tracked and documented before any additional spend is authorised.
