It appears that builder A has considered all the consideration as towards the construction activity being a composite one. Whereas B has considered the other charges as separate.
Some components could be said to be part of construction such as parking, electricity, and DG power.

Yes the view taken by the Madhukar Sir is also supported by the CBEC Letter DOF 334/1/2008-TRU dated 29-02-2008 and Section 66F(3)(a) naturally bundled Service. In the case of a transaction containing a major and ancillary elements, classification is to be determined based on the essential features or the dominant element of the transaction. A supply which comprises a single supply from an economic point of view should not be artificially split. The method of charging or invoicing does not in itself determine whether the service provided is a single service or multiple services. Single price normally suggests a single supply though not decisive. The real nature and substance of the transaction and not merely the form of the transaction should be the guiding factor for deciding the classification
