What Type of Home Do You Need? | Easy Ghar Planner Guide
Building a home is one of the most important investments in life. Yet, many people feel confused when deciding what type of house to build — Standard, Luxury, or Premium. Although the structure remains the same in all categories, the difference lies in the quality of materials, interior finishes, and level of comfort.
This detailed guide will help you understand each type, compare materials side-by-side, and discover how the Easy Ghar Planner can make your construction journey simpler and smarter.
How to Choose Your Home Type
All homes are built on the same structural foundation — strong RCC, columns, beams, and slabs.
However, the variation appears in the finishing stage.
The brands you choose, the paints you apply, and the tiles you install define whether your home is Standard, Luxury, or Premium.
Therefore, it’s essential to know exactly what each option offers before finalizing your budget and contractor.
Standard Home – Strong Structure, Smart Budget
A Standard Home provides complete structural stability at a practical cost. It’s ideal for homeowners who want a long-lasting house without unnecessary extras.
In addition, maintenance costs remain low while overall durability remains high.
Key Features:
- Structure: Same RCC design and curing process as all categories.
- Materials: Economical but reliable options suited for long-term use.
- Finishes: Marbonite or ceramic tiles, Berger Bison, Asian Apex, Polycab wiring, Great White switches, and UPVC pipes.
- Doors & Windows: Sangwan 4×7 main door with RCC door frames.
- Staircase: Normal granite tread with stainless steel railing.
- Approximate Cost: ₹1,200–₹1,250 per sq. ft.
Because of its balance between cost and performance, a Standard Home is perfect for middle-class families and first-time builders.
Moreover, this category ensures strong resale value with minimal maintenance needs.
Luxury Home – Branded Finish, Elegant Comfort
In comparison, a Luxury Home offers the same strong skeleton but introduces branded materials and designer finishes.
The result is a home that feels stylish, comfortable, and modern.
As a result, your living experience improves without changing the core structure.
Key Features:
- Materials: High-quality interior fittings and recognized brands.
- Finishes: Double-charge tiles, Berger Easy Clean, Anchor Penta switches, Polycab wires, Supreme CPVC pipes, and Corsa fittings.
- Windows & Doors: Three-track aluminium sections with wooden door frames.
- Extras: Texture paint, branded sanitary fittings, and elegant lighting.
- Approximate Cost: ₹1,300–₹1,350 per sq. ft.
Furthermore, luxury homes tend to retain a higher market value.
They are the right choice if you prefer visible quality and smoother finishes throughout your home.
Premium Home – Finest Materials, Modern Lifestyle
The Premium Home category represents excellence in every detail.
Here, each fitting, tile, and accessory belongs to the top segment.
The focus is on aesthetics, longevity, and a seamless lifestyle.
Therefore, you experience a home that looks modern and functions efficiently.
Key Features:
- Paints: Ultima exterior, wall punning for interiors.
- Windows: Large UPVC sections with glass railings.
- Bathrooms: Wall-hung commodes, Jaquar Facel fittings, and diverter systems.
- Flooring: Premium double-charge tiles and high-range granite (₹150 per sq. ft.).
- Extras: Elevation cladding up to 100 sq. ft. and texture work in master bedrooms.
- Approximate Cost: ₹1,450–₹1,500 per sq. ft.
Because every element is precisely chosen, supervision and workmanship matter the most.
Consequently, this home type suits those who want modern luxury and long-term durability combined.
