The document discusses different types of buildings and residential building rates in Sri Lanka. It provides classifications for buildings based on their use, construction materials, and levels of luxury. Residential buildings are classified into obsolete, semi-modern, modern, and ultra-modern categories depending on their materials and specifications. Tables show estimated construction costs per square foot for different types of single-story and multi-story homes, ranging from around Rs. 2,000 to over Rs. 5,500 depending on luxury level. Real estate rates can be adjusted according to any changes in building materials.
