The client brief

The owner wanted a home that looked architect-designed from the street and was fully finished inside, without hiring a separate contractor, interior designer and glazing vendor and then coordinating them. The brief had three non-negotiables: a distinctive facade, premium finishes, and a fixed handover date.

Why a designer villa is harder than a standard house

A standard RCC house is mostly one trade after another. A designer villa adds trades that must be sequenced precisely, because stone, glass and joinery are expensive to redo.

•     Stone cladding needs a plumb, true wall surface and correct fixing details; errors show on the finished facade.

•     Curtain glazing is ordered to measured openings. If the structure is out by even a few millimetres, the glass will not fit.

•     Modular kitchen and wardrobes depend on finished floor levels, plumbing points and electrical positions being right before joinery is installed.

This is the core reason turnkey delivery matters. We cover the cost of coordination gaps in more detail in Hidden Costs of Self-Managed Construction.

How we delivered it

1. Design and drawings first

The facade, structure and interior layout were resolved on drawings before excavation. Services (plumbing, electrical, smart lighting points) were marked on the plans so nothing had to be broken out later. [Architect/designer involved: our design consultant Avadh Estate Consultants (AEC) is a top-rated architectural design and consultancy office located in Ashiyana Colony, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh , and number of design revisions were only 2.

2. RCC structure and quality control

The structure was built to approved drawings with material checks at each delivery. Our site checklist for cement, TMT steel, bricks, sand and aggregate is published in handbook to owner. [M25 grade of concrete, Tata steel brand, and cube-test results by Ultratech who supplied the cement.]

3. Facade, stone cladding and glazing

Surfaces were prepared and checked before cladding began. Glazing openings were measured after the structure was complete, not taken from drawings, so the curtain glass fitted first time. Artificial stone panels by ReRo surfaces and glazing systems.

4. Interiors: kitchen, wardrobes, finishes

Modular kitchen, wardrobes, painting and lighting were sequenced after services were tested. Doing interiors under the same contract meant one schedule and one point of accountability. Kitchen with brand fittings, waterproofing and designer paint work, smart and ambient lighting scheme done before deadline.

5. Handover

The villa was handed over within the committed timeline after a final snag list walk-through with the owner.

What a villa like this costs

Cestrum prices turnkey homes in three fixed packages: Basic at ₹1,550 per sq ft, Brand at ₹1,750 per sq ft and Interior at ₹1,950 per sq ft. A villa with a bespoke facade, kitchen, wardrobes and full interiors falls in the Interior tier. Stone cladding and curtain glazing are design-dependent and are quoted against the drawings.

Why owners choose a registered turnkey builder

•     One contract, one schedule: structure, facade and interiors are not split between vendors.

•     Founder supervision: the project is overseen by an engineer with experience across three major construction firms.

•     Compliance built in: CPWD-enlisted, GST-compliant, MSME-registered and EPFO/ESIC-registered. See Contractor vs Construction Company and CPWD Enlistment Explained (Article 4)].

•     Fixed package pricing: no hidden escalations on the scope agreed.

Yes. We deliver in Gorakhpur, Padrauna and across Uttar Pradesh, plus Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand.

Is stone cladding durable on a house facade?

Properly fixed stone cladding lasts for decades, but it depends on surface preparation, fixing method and waterproofing detailing, which is why it is planned at the drawing stage.
