Planning a stilt-plus-four build in Gurgaon
Stilt plus four lets you build a parking stilt and four independent floors on an eligible residential plot, with each floor often registrable and saleable on its own. The construction cost depends mainly on your plot size, how much of it you can build on (ground coverage) and your per-square-foot build rate. This estimator gives you a quick, indicative number to plan with, before you get a detailed quote.

Frequently asked questions
What is stilt plus four (S+4) in Gurgaon?
Stilt plus four means a residential building with a stilt (open parking) level at the bottom and four habitable floors above it. Haryana allows this on many residential plots, subject to plot size, road width and approval rules.
Is stilt plus four legal in Haryana?
Haryana has allowed stilt-plus-four on eligible plots, though the policy has seen pauses, reviews and conditions over time. Always confirm the current rules and get proper sanction before you build.
How many floors can I build on my plot?
On an eligible plot, typically a stilt for parking plus four floors, with each floor able to be registered separately. The exact permission depends on plot size, road width and the current policy.
What is ground coverage and FAR?
Ground coverage is the share of the plot the building footprint can cover; FAR (floor area ratio) caps the total built-up area against the plot size. Both are set by the sanctioned building bye-laws for your plot.
How do I estimate construction cost per floor?
Multiply the floor plate area (plot area times the ground coverage) by your per-square-foot construction rate. The calculator above does this for each floor and the whole building.
What is a typical construction cost per square foot?
It varies with specification and finish, from a basic build to a premium one. Use a realistic per-square-foot rate for your quality level in the calculator to get a closer estimate.
Can each floor be sold or registered separately?
Under stilt-plus-four, independent floors can usually be registered and sold separately, which is a big reason the format is popular. Confirm the registration route for your specific plot.
Do I need parking in a stilt-plus-four building?
Yes, the stilt level is meant for parking, which is part of why the format is permitted. The exact parking requirement follows the building bye-laws.
Does the calculator include land cost?
No. It estimates only the construction cost of the floors. Add your land or plot cost separately to get the full project cost.
What approvals do I need to build stilt plus four?
A sanctioned building plan from the local authority, structural and other clearances, and compliance with the current stilt-plus-four policy. Do not start without approval.
Is stilt plus four allowed on every plot?
No. Eligibility depends on the plot size, the abutting road width, the colony type and the current policy. Check your plot against the rules before you plan.
How is built-up area different from plot area?
Plot area is the land you own; built-up area is the constructed space across all floors. The calculator estimates built-up from your plot area and ground coverage.
What extra costs come beyond construction?
Approvals and sanction fees, structural design, utility connections, finishing, and any policy or compounding charges. Keep a buffer above the base construction estimate.
Are these figures exact?
No, they are indicative estimates. Actual cost depends on your design, specification, ground coverage, FAR and current rates. Get a detailed quote from a builder or architect.
