Concepts:

In the Plinth area method, the cost of construction is determined by multiplying the plinth area with the plinth area rate. The area is obtained by multiplying length and breadth (outer dimensions of the building).

Cost = Plinth area × Plinth area rate

Now

Given: Plinth area = 15 Sqm and rate = Rs. 2000 Sqm

Therefore,

Cost of construction= 15 × 2000 = Rs. 30000/-
