CPWD is building a new office block and residential quarters at Gardanibagh in Patna, a ₹203.71 crore civil works package that closes for bids on 11 August 2026.
What is being built at Gardanibagh
The Central Public Works Department has floated this tender for a new office building and residential quarters in Gardanibagh, Patna. The office block is planned as two basements plus ground and seven upper floors (B1, B2, G+7), and the residential side runs to stilt plus eight floors (S+8), taking in a guest house and Type-V quarters. It is a percentage-rate works contract worth ₹203.71 crore, so a wide band of building contractors can look at it, provided they meet the eligibility the NIT lays down.
Who this suits
If you build multi-storey government structures, this is squarely your kind of work. The earnest money is ₹2,13,71,343, paid by DD, FDR, banker’s cheque or bank guarantee, and there is no separate tender fee. Bid validity is 75 days. Patna and Bihar contractors have the labour and material chain close by, but the tender is open, so firms from across the country can bid on the strength of their turnover and completed high-rise projects.
Equipment the site will pull in
High-rise building work of this scale calls for tower cranes or mobile cranes for vertical movement, excavators for the deep basements, and a steady concrete supply through batching plants, transit mixers and pumps. Backhoe loaders handle the day-to-day muck shifting and material handling across a busy city site. Owners hiring out cranes and excavators tend to find long, stable deployment on a project that runs several floors up.
