What is the average construction cost in Chennai in 2025?
It ranges from ₹1,849 to ₹2,999/sqft based on your preferred specifications and design.
Is the construction package price at DEEJOS inclusive of GST, and why does it matter?
Yes, all DEEJOS construction package prices are inclusive of GST, and every customer receives a proper GST invoice for the full project value, legally billed through our registered company.
This is one of the biggest differences between DEEJOS and small-time contractors. Many local builders say, “GST is included”, but when it’s time to issue an invoice, they either avoid billing or use someone else’s unregistered name. This is not only unethical, it’s a complete violation of GST law.
When you build a home, the project becomes a permanent physical asset, a visible proof of expenditure. If you don’t have a proper GST invoice for that construction, and the contractor fails to file or pay the tax, you may later face IT scrutiny or GST penalty when authorities verify large financial transactions linked to your property.
At DEEJOS, everything is completely transparent and compliant:
- We are a registered private limited company under GST.
- Every payment made by you is recorded and tax-invoiced with GST number and HSN code.
- The same reflects in both our and your tax filings, providing full legal protection.
- GST invoices also help you prove construction cost for loan documentation, capital gains, and future property sale.
This is why customers trust DEEJOS. We are a professional and accountable organization, not a street-level contractor. We believe that when you are building your dream home, every rupee should be legitimate, traceable, and compliant.
Choosing a builder who does not provide proper GST billing might save a few thousand upfront, but it can cost you lakhs in penalties and stress later
.
DEEJOS eliminates that risk completely with 100% compliant billing, fixed pricing, and transparent taxation, giving you peace of mind that your home is built not only with quality materials but also with legal and financial integrity.
Can I downgrade or upgrade material specs?
Absolutely. All our packages are customizable.
What’s excluded from the per sqft cost?
Approvals, EB, borewell, grill works, compound wall, modular items are excluded but provided on request.
Will you help me with approval documentation?
Yes, we handle CMDA/DTCP plan approvals, soil test reports, and documentation formalities.
What sets DEEJOS apart from other construction companies in Chennai?
DEEJOS stands apart from typical construction companies in Chennai because of our depth of expertise, in-house strength, and absolute process control.
Most small contractors rely on outsourced architects, freelance engineers, and temporary site staff — which often leads to delays, inconsistent quality, and cost escalations. DEEJOS was built to eliminate all of that.
We have been operating since 2008, with over 17 years of dedicated experience in designing and building luxury individual homes across Chennai. Today, we manage more than 350 ongoing projects handled by a full-time team of 400+ professionals, including 55 trained in-house architects.
What truly differentiates us is our POL (Projects On-Line) platform — a proprietary, AI-integrated software developed by our own tech team. Through POL, every customer can log in and:
- View daily site updates with real photographs,
- Track work progress vs. committed timeline,
- See bill approvals, material usage, and payment milestones, and
- Communicate directly with our CRM and site team.
This level of transparency is rare in the construction industry, especially among local contractors.
Beyond technology, DEEJOS follows a 425-point quality check system covering every stage — from excavation and concrete mix ratios to waterproofing and paint finish. Each stage is verified by our Quality Control Department before the next begins, ensuring consistent standards across all projects.
We also provide customers with a complete architectural design package at no extra cost when they build with us — including 2D layouts, 3D elevation, structural drawings, and working drawings — all created by our in-house architects. This integrated design-build model removes the typical conflict between an outside architect and a contractor.
Our pricing structure is transparent and fixed before the agreement is signed. Every inclusion and exclusion is clearly mentioned, and GST-compliant invoices are issued for every stage. With DEEJOS, clients know exactly what they’re paying for and what to expect — no surprises, no hidden charges.
Lastly, DEEJOS is known for its timely delivery and post-handover service. Our dedicated maintenance team provides free service support for two years after handover, ensuring lasting customer satisfaction.
In short, DEEJOS is not just a contractor — it’s a complete home-building system powered by design excellence, process discipline, digital transparency, and professional integrity.
