What is the difference between grey structure and a complete house?
Grey structure is the foundation, columns, beams, roof slabs, brick walls, plaster, and the water, sewerage, gas and electrical pipes inside the walls. Finishing — tiles, doors and windows, wiring and fittings, paint, woodwork, bathrooms and kitchens — makes it ready to live in.
Full contract or labour contract?
On a full contract the contractor buys the material and adds about 10% for his overhead and profit. On a labour contract you buy the material and pay him for labour only — cheaper, but you manage the buying.
