We start where
others guess.
A frame that will
outlive all of us.
Every wire, every
pipe — on record.
Keys in your hand.
On the date promised.
Soil test and structural design before a single rupee is quoted. No "we'll see at site" surprises.
M25 concrete, Tata Tiscon rebar, third-party cube testing. Backed by a 10-year structural warranty.
Conduit routes photographed before plastering. You get the as-built drawings, not a mystery wall.
Fixed-price contract. If steel or cement moves, that's our problem — your number does not change.
Who we are
The builder you'd
want checking
your builder.
Most construction quotes in Coimbatore are a number on WhatsApp and a handshake. Six months later the number has moved twice and nobody can tell you why.
Covai Builders was started in 2011 by two structural engineers who were tired of exactly that. We do the soil test first, the structural design second and the quote third — in that order, every single time. The price we print is the price you pay, and our contract says so in writing.
Everything is in-house: design, structure, MEP, finishing, project management. No subcontractor chain to hide behind when something goes wrong — and no one else to blame when it does.
What we build
Eight services.
One company accountable.
Everything from the first drawing to the completion certificate is handled by our own people — so there is never a second number to call when something needs fixing.
Construction
From ₹2,099/sq.ft Turnkey individual houses, villas, G+1 and G+2 — foundation to final coat on one fixed-price contract. 02Consultancy
Engineer-led Second opinions, structural audits and feasibility reviews — including on work another contractor has already started. 03Planning
2D & 3D Floor plans, elevations, 3D walkthroughs and Vastu-aligned layouts, revised until you stop asking for changes. 04Estimation
Line-item BOQ A costed bill of quantities with brands and per-sq.ft ceilings named against every item. No lump sums. 05Renovation
Live-site specialists Structural retrofits, additional floors on existing slabs and full rebuilds — with a load audit before anything is touched. 06Interior work
In-house execution Modular kitchens, wardrobes, false ceiling, lighting and furniture, finished to the same specification as the structure. 07Labour Contract
Material by you You buy the material, we supply supervision, skilled crews and quality control at an agreed rate per sq.ft. 08Plan Approval
End to end DTCP / local body plan approval, building licence, EB service connection and the completion certificate.Nobody else will show you this
Your cost. Right now.
No form, no phone call.
Move the sliders. This is the same rate card our estimators use — including GST and the extras most builders quietly leave out of the first quote.
Indicative within ±6% of our final BOQ for a standard rectangular plot with normal soil. Final figure is confirmed after the free soil test and site survey — and then it is locked by contract.

We walk your plot, check access, soil visual, setbacks and neighbouring structures. Free, and no sales person is sent.

Bore test to 6m, SBC report and a total-station survey. This decides the foundation type — not a thumb rule.

2D plans for every floor, Vastu-aligned if you want it, revised until you stop asking for changes.

Why clients stay
Six promises we put
in the contract.
Anyone can say these on a website. We're one of the few who'll sign them.
Soil-first engineering
Geotechnical report before design, not after. It's the difference between a footing and a guess — and it's free with your booking.
Price locked by contract
Cement up 12%? Steel up 20%? Not your problem. Our agreement absorbs material escalation. Scope changes are the only thing that moves the number.
Weekly photo reports
Every Saturday: dated site photos, work done, work next, materials delivered. Clients abroad have built entire homes without visiting once.
10-year structural warranty
Written, transferable, with free annual inspections for the first three years. Most builders offer one year, verbally.
Zero subcontracting
Our own masons, bar benders, electricians and carpenters — on ESI and PF. One company accountable, start to finish.
Material bills, shown
Every invoice for cement, steel, tiles and sanitaryware is shared in your project folder. Verify the brand and the grade yourself.

The questions
you're actually
asking.
Still not covered? WhatsApp us — you'll get an engineer, not a call-centre script.
Ask on WhatsApp →Honest band: ₹2,099 to ₹3,199 per sq.ft for turnkey construction, depending on the finish level you choose. A 1,200 sq.ft G+1 home therefore lands around ₹50–77 lakh before GST. Anyone quoting you ₹1,600 is either excluding half the scope or planning to revise it later — ask them for the line-item BOQ and watch what happens. Our calculator above gives you the full number including GST in about ten seconds.
Fixed, in writing. Our agreement states that material price escalation is absorbed by us — so cement, steel, sand and tile movements do not reach your invoice. The only thing that changes your number is a change you ask for in scope, and that is quoted and signed separately before any work starts on it.
Up to 1,500 sq.ft: 5–6 months. 1,500–2,500 sq.ft: 7–9 months. Above 2,500 sq.ft: 9–12 months. These start from the date approvals come through, not from the agreement date, and the dated Gantt chart is part of your contract. We've delivered 98% of projects on or before date over the last three years.
Yes — plan approval, building licence, EB service connection and the completion certificate are all run by our liaison team. Government fees and deposits are paid at actuals against receipts, which you see. Our service for this is included in Premium and Ultra Luxury, and available as a flat add-on with Standard.
Please do. We'll arrange a visit to two completed homes and one live site — a live site tells you far more. You'll meet the owners without us in the room, and we'll also give you the phone numbers of our last ten clients.
Yes. Our architects plan to Vastu as a default where you want it — entrance orientation, kitchen in the south-east, master bedroom south-west, water points and staircase direction. If you have your own Vastu consultant, we'll work directly to their notes.
Included: design, structure, masonry, plastering, MEP, flooring, doors, windows, railings, painting, sanitary and electrical fittings to the per-item ceilings named in your package. Not included: GST, plan approval government fees, EB deposit, compound wall, sump and septic tank, lift, borewell and interiors. All of those are priced in the calculator above so you're not surprised at month seven.
₹2.5 lakh booking at agreement, then stage-linked payments released only after each stage is completed and verified — foundation, each slab, masonry, plastering, flooring, finishing and handover. You never pay ahead of work done. Home loan documentation support is included, and we're empanelled with most major banks.
