You have not specified whether you are a works contractor or not, if yes ITC is available. Otherwise it is blocked under section 17(5) to the extent it is capitalised in the books. However you may also refer to recent SC judgement in the case of safari retreats, according to which if your building constitutes plant you may be eligible for ITC.
