You should ask someone locally. Labor and materials are so different in different loactions that only local folks can give you a reasonable answer.

thanks for your replay,,,

may i know rougly if both flat top barge and round hull are using same type of material... how many % the cost will be more for round type hull construction ,as well steel cost...(consider iam using normal steel.)

I see you're in India.
the cost in Inida will be different to Europe, will be different to US will be different to Asia...so best ask your local shipyard if you don't already work for one.
