VAT will not be applicable since you are not a dealer in sale of building.
Instead capital gains would be attracted depending upon the period of holding of the capital asset.
OK....

54(k) purchases made on or after 1st April 2005 by a hotelier, which are treated by himas capital assets and which do not pertain to the supply by way of or as part ofservice or in any other manner whatsoever of goods, being food or any other article for human consumption or any drink (whether or not intoxicating) where such supply or service is made or given for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration.]
This is what Rule says....which clearly says i can not take set off of VAT paid on Raw materials.....
