2 BHK vs 3 BHK
A 3 BHK costs about 1.5 times a 2 BHK, not double. The kitchen and living room grow only a little, and most of the extra money goes into the third bedroom’s wardrobe and bed, plus painting and electrical work for the larger carpet area. See the 2 BHK cost guide to compare.
Where to spend in a 3 BHK
- Kitchen and master bedroom first. They get used the most and cost the most to redo later.
- Keep the third bedroom flexible. A guest room or study can start with a wardrobe and a bed, and add a study unit later.
- One statement wall. A feature TV wall in the living room makes a bigger impression than panelling every room.
- Lofts everywhere. Lofts above wardrobes and the kitchen are the cheapest storage per square foot.
What is usually not included
GST, civil work such as tiling or breaking walls, plumbing, appliances, sanitary fittings, loose decor and soft furnishings are normally priced separately.
