For planning, a compact insulated prefab studio can be around ₹2,000–₹2,800/sq ft in Delhi NCR. At 300 sq ft, that is roughly ₹6–₹8.4 lakh for the building package before unusual civil work, appliances, land and external costs.
Three hundred square feet is enough for a compact living space if the plan is disciplined. Too many walls, oversized furniture and badly placed plumbing can consume the usable area very quickly.
What is the cost of a 300 sq ft prefab studio?
An indicative planning range is ₹2,000–₹2,800/sq ft, putting 300 sq ft at roughly ₹6–₹8.4 lakh.
- This is an industry planning range, not a quotation.
- Kitchen, bathroom, electrical, flooring, windows and storage can materially affect the final total.
What can fit into 300 sq ft?
A well-planned studio can include a combined living/sleeping zone, compact kitchen, bathroom and built-in storage.
- Group kitchen and bathroom services.
- Use furniture with hidden storage.
- Use vertical storage.
- Use sliding or compact doors where practical.

What is a practical layout?
A useful planning split is roughly 150–170 sq ft living/sleeping, 35–50 sq ft kitchen, 35–45 sq ft bathroom and the balance for entry, storage and circulation.
- A simple 15 × 20 ft rectangle is 300 sq ft and can be easier to zone.
- Group wet services along one side where possible.
Can it work as a rental unit?
Potentially, subject to local planning, occupancy, utility and approval requirements.
- Prioritise privacy, ventilation and storage.
- Check sanitation, access, fire and electricity requirements.
- Use durable finishes for higher turnover.
Can a studio be built on a terrace?
Potentially, but rooftop structural capacity, sanctioned plan, local rules, RWA restrictions and waterproofing must be checked.
- Prefab does not remove approval requirements.
- A structural engineer should verify the existing building and anchoring.
Is 300 sq ft too small?
It is compact but workable when every square foot has a job.
- Prioritise one strong living/sleeping zone.
- Keep storage vertical.
- Use daylight to create visual space.
- Avoid unnecessary partitions.
Closing takeaway
Three hundred square feet is compact, not impossible. At ₹2,000–₹2,800/sq ft, the building package is roughly ₹6–₹8.4 lakh. Spend design effort on the wet core, storage, daylight and circulation.
