What we build

From a single house on your plot to a small commercial block. If the drawings are ready, we build from them. If not, our engineers can prepare them.

Residential construction

Independent houses and duplexes built on your plot, from foundation to handover.

Villas and bungalows

Larger homes with pools, verandahs and gardens, built to the architect’s drawings.

Apartment buildings

Parking-plus-floors buildings for owners and small developers, with lifts and common areas.

Commercial buildings

Offices, showrooms and clinics, with service shafts and floors planned for fit-outs.

Industrial sheds

Pre-engineered steel sheds and warehouses with heavy-duty flooring.

Renovation and extension

Adding a floor, changing a layout or repairing an older building, with the structure checked first.

One team on site, from plinth to handover

SM Construction started in Mumbai in 2017 with a single independent house and a simple rule: build it as if we were going to live there. Friends and neighbours of that first client became our next clients.

Today we work in Mumbai and Delhi with our own engineers, site supervisors and masons. Homes are our main work. We also take on apartment buildings, offices and sheds when the design is ready and the site is clear.

You get a written schedule, stage-wise payments and one site engineer to call, from the day we mark the plot to the day we hand over the keys.

Common questions

Answers reflect typical practice for homes in metro cities. Your written quotation confirms the exact figures for your project.

What will it cost?

For a standard home in Mumbai or Delhi, plan for about ₹1,900 to ₹2,300 per sq ft of built-up area, excluding land. Premium and luxury finishes cost more. Use the calculator above for a quick range, and we confirm the exact figure with a line-by-line quotation after a site visit.

How long will it take?

Design and approvals usually take 3 to 6 weeks. A typical 2,000 sq ft home then takes 8 to 11 months to build. We give you a dated schedule before work starts.

How do payments work?

Payments are linked to finished stages, not to dates: a small amount on agreement, then at plinth, slabs, masonry, finishing and handover. The exact split is written into your agreement.

Do you handle approvals?

Yes. We prepare the drawings, help you get plan sanction from the local authority, and apply for the completion certificate at the end.

What warranty do you give?

We give 12 months on workmanship and fix any defect in that period at no charge. Waterproofing, windows, fittings and equipment carry the maker’s own warranty, and you receive all the papers in a handover file.
