How to reduce construction cost at different project stages.

This article identifies only those methods which do not go against building standards. These methods ensure that the overall strength and stability of a building is maintained even while trying to cut expenses, unlike other methods such as the use of poor cement & sand mix ratio, reduction of concrete thickness, low quality blocks, low quality cement, etc.

HOW TO REDUCE CONSTRUCTION COST DURING FINISHING AND DECORATION -
There is no standard cost set for finishing two separate buildings of exactly the same type, size and in the same location. This is because the cost of finishing vary from individual to individual i.e. it mainly depends on the individual's choice and taste. This is also the reason why the most effective way to reduce cost at this stage is to go for the type of finishing that you can afford. Your budget should help you determine that. Ensure that you also let you architect know; so that he/she can make use of the information in your building plan.
