FAQ

Homeowner questions, answered plainly.

Practical answers about planning a custom home, without invented prices or promises.

How do I start planning a custom home?

Start with your plot and your priorities: the plot size and location, how many people will live in the home, the rooms you need now, and anything you may want to add later. Then request a consultation. We will talk through your ideas, explain the stages involved and suggest sensible next steps.

What information is needed before discussing a construction project?

You do not need everything on day one. It helps to have the plot location and approximate size, a copy of the land documents if you have them, any ideas or drawings you like, a rough budget range and when you hope to start. If something is missing, we will help you understand what to gather.

Can a home be planned around my plot size?

Yes. A good plan starts from the plot: its shape, size, orientation, access and surroundings. Your requirements are then fitted to those conditions, and permitted setbacks and building rules are checked by the qualified professionals preparing the drawings.

How is a construction budget determined?

A budget depends on the built-up area, number of floors, structure, specifications, finishes and site conditions. We do not publish fixed per square foot prices because they can mislead without knowing your scope. After understanding your requirements we discuss scope and specifications so the budget reflects what you actually want to build.

Can I discuss my design preferences before construction begins?

Yes, and we encourage it. Layout, room sizes, light, ventilation, materials and future expansion are easiest and cheapest to settle before construction starts. Design decisions are reviewed with you before they are locked into the plan.

Which areas do you serve?

Our primary service areas are Duttapukur, Bamangachi and Barasat in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Availability for other nearby locations can be confirmed during your consultation.

How can I request a consultation?

Use the enquiry form on the contact page and tell us about your plot and plans. We will contact you on the phone number you provide.

Do you provide architectural drawings and structural design?

Architectural drawings, structural design and statutory approvals are prepared by appropriately qualified, registered professionals wherever the law requires. ROY BUILD & HOMES coordinates that work with your requirements and budget, and builds to the approved drawings.

Do I need approval before building a house?

In most cases a building plan has to be sanctioned by the relevant local authority before construction starts. The exact requirements depend on the plot, its location and the authority concerned. A qualified professional can confirm what applies to your plot, and we plan the schedule around it.

Can you give a fixed price or completion date over the phone?

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. Cost and duration depend on design, specifications, site conditions and approvals. We discuss these with you first and then explain what is realistic.

Will I be able to follow progress during construction?

Progress coordination is part of the process. Update points and communication channels are agreed with you at the start so you always know what stage the work is at and what decisions are coming up.

What happens after I submit the enquiry form?

We review your details and contact you on the phone number you shared to discuss your plot and goals. Submitting an enquiry does not commit you to anything.

Do you work outside Duttapukur, Bamangachi and Barasat?

We focus on these three areas and nearby parts of North 24 Parganas. If your plot is elsewhere, tell us the location in the enquiry and we will confirm whether we can take it on.
