Conclusion
The optimization exercise clearly demonstrates the financial impact of thoughtful material selection and design adjustments.
By shifting from luxury specifications to cost‑effective alternatives — such as laterite or hollow blocks for masonry, GI/Tile
sheet roofing instead of RCC slabs, and economy finishes in place of premium brands.
smart substitutions can preserve durability and aesthetics while drastically lowering costs.
Interiors contribute the largest share of savings, showing that finishes and services are where budget control has the
greatest leverage.
