Check it out now!
The A-to-Z Cost of Building a 3-Storey Townhouse
Construction Permit Costs
Preparing all necessary paperwork and legal documentation is the first and most critical step in the process of building a 3-storey townhouse. This ensures legal compliance and prevents disputes or boundary errors with adjacent properties. It also guarantees a smooth and favorable construction process.
Currently, the legal cost for a modern 3-storey townhouse construction ranges from 4.500.000 to 25.000.000 VND. The actual cost may vary depending on the complexity (difficulty level) of the project and the presence of any disputes.
Furthermore, the homeowner also needs to factor in the cost of construction completion certification (Hoan Cong). The ‘Hoan Cong’ cost will be higher if the house is located within a planning zone or is used as collateral for a bank loan.

Design Costs
This is the fee the homeowner needs to pay the design unit. Typically, the cost of designing a townhouse blueprint accounts for 3% to 4% of the total construction unit price. However, this item can save the homeowner up to 35% of potential unexpected costs that might arise. Therefore, homeowners should not hesitate to invest this small fee in professional home blueprints..
Raw Construction Costs
In the total cost of building a 3-storey townhouse, the raw construction unit price accounts for approximately 60% of the overall budget. This expenditure includes labor costs and material items such as iron, steel, and cement, among others. To optimize expenses, homeowners should seek reputable suppliers of building materials. They should also compare price lists from multiple parties to make the most reasonable selection.
In addition to the cost of building materials, the construction unit price is also dependent on the homeowner’s desired 3-storey house design style. Typically, 3-storey townhouses featuring a European style, with sharp details and lines, often incur higher costs.

Interior Finishing Costs
The interior finishing process typically includes items such as: wall painting, tiling and flooring, lighting systems, and plumbing and electrical fixtures. Interior finishing costs usually account for approximately 25% of the total house construction budget.
To control costs and minimize unexpected expenses during implementation, the homeowner needs to create a specific list of materials to be used along with exact quantities. This allows for purchasing the appropriate amount of materials for the project, thereby avoiding waste.
6 Factors Affecting the Cost of Building a 3-Storey Townhouse
To construct a 3-storey house that aligns with their budget, homeowners need to pay attention to the following factors:
Location and Site
The construction location is one of the decisive factors affecting the cost of building a beautiful 3-storey townhouse. For the exact same design, the cost of building a house in the city will be higher than in rural areas. Furthermore, houses situated in areas with convenient transportation for moving materials will have lower construction costs than those located deep inside alleys or narrow lanes. Therefore, to optimize construction expenses, homeowners must carefully calculate the site location before commencing work.

Total Construction Area
Currently, contractors typically base their quotes on the construction area in square meters. The larger the construction area, the lower the cost per square meter. Therefore, whether the construction cost for a 3-storey townhouse is high or low largely depends on the total area of the house.
At 3A Design, the design and raw construction costs are calculated per square meter, varying according to the area of each project, as follows:
| Item | Unit Price | 
| Townhouses & Villas with Construction Area from 200 – 300m2 | 3.400.000 VNĐ/m2 | 
| Townhouses & Villas with Construction Area from 300 – 350m2 | 3.350.000 VNĐ/m2 | 
| Townhouses & Villas with Construction Area exceeding 350m2 | 3.300.000 VNĐ/m2 | 
Construction Timing
Construction costs are also influenced by the wet or dry season. Typically, the dry season is a favorable time for construction work. However, building material prices often increase during this period due to high demand. Conversely, although material prices may decrease during the wet season, the frequent rain and storms are unfavorable for construction, often extending the construction duration and increasing labor costs. Therefore, homeowners need to plan their budget and choose an appropriate construction time to ensure project quality and save costs.
Material Quality
The current market offers a wide variety of materials differing in price and quality. The level of raw materials chosen significantly impacts the overall cost calculation for building a 3-storey house. Homeowners will select construction packages suitable for their family’s budget. However, to ensure a sustainable structure, homeowners should balance their choices, selecting quality materials at a reasonable price.
Architectural Design Style
Mỗi phong cách thiết kế kiến trúc sẽ mang một đặc trưng riêng, depending on the client’s preferences, the construction unit will provide consultation and offer the most suitable quotation. If the homeowner prefers a luxurious style with many ornate, detailed patterns, the design and construction cost will be higher compared to a project with a simple modern design. However, if the client prefers simplicity and subtlety, the cost of building the 3-storey townhouse will be significantly reduced.

Construction Unit
A reputable and professional construction unit possesses sufficient capacity and experience to meet the homeowner’s stringent requirements. Moreover, they ensure the quality of the project and provide accurate quotations for all items, helping the homeowner maximize cost savings. Therefore, the homeowner must carefully consider before entrusting their confidence to a contractor in the market. They should examine the projects the unit has previously executed and review feedback from their past clients to make a well-informed decision.

How to Calculate the Construction Cost of a 3-Storey Townhouse
The construction cost for a 3-storey townhouse is calculated using the formula: Unit Price x Total Construction Area. In this formula, the total construction area (m2) equals = 100% x (Area of 1st Floor + Area of 2nd Floor + Area of 3rd Floor). If the client requests a sloped roof (mái chéo) or tiled roof (mái thái), a separate area calculation method will be applied for each roof style based on the construction design blueprint.
To help homeowners better understand the calculation method, 3A Design will provide the following example: A 3-storey townhouse has a construction footprint of 75m2 (5×15). The calculation includes a staircase access floor (tum) of 20m2, and balconies on the 2nd and 3rd floors, each measuring 4,5m2. The project utilizes pile foundation and a reinforced concrete flat roof.
Thus, the total construction area (m2) of the 3-storey townhouse is calculated as follows:
- 1st Floor: Floor Area 1 x 100% = 75m2
 - 2nd Floor: (Floor Area+ Balcony)x 100% = (75 + 4,5) x 100% = 79,5m2
 - 3rd Floor: (Floor Area + Balcony) x 100% = (75 + 4,5) x 100% = 79,5m2
 - Staircase Access Floor (Tum): Tum Area x 100% = 20 x 100% = 20m2
 - Reinforced Concrete Flat Roof: (Floor Area + Balcony) x 50% = (75 + 4,5) x 50% = 39,75m2
 - Pile Foundation = Floor Area x 30% = 75 x 30% = 22,5m2.
 
Thus, the total construction area (m2) for the 3-storey townhouse is316,25m2.
If the unit price for raw construction and finishing labor is 3.500.000 VND/m2 the estimated cost to build the 3-storey townhouse is: 3.500.000 x 316,25 = 1.106.875.000 .
If the unit price for the full turnkey construction package is 5.000.000 VND/m2 thì chi phí xây dựng nhà phố 3 tầng dự kiến là: 5.000.000 x 316,25 = 1.581.250.000 VND.

Conclusion
Above is the guide on how to calculate the cost of building a 3-storey townhouse and the factors influencing the project’s construction expenses. We hope that the shared information will enable homeowners to forecast their budget and establish the most suitable construction plan. This will ensure that the project is both compatible with the available budget and maintains high aesthetic value and optimal functionality.
