Sorry I can't solve you problem but maybe I can help your thinking about it.
Firstly: What do you mean by "middle class"? In the UK a middle class existence would be called upper class in Dhaka. This is due to many factors, including education, lifestyle, and job.
What kind of a job are you anticipating having?
Middle class can range from 30,000 taka per month to 100,000 per month, depending on your expenses, location, schooling and personal needs, etc.
I assume you are looking for English Medium schools here. There are 3 main categories: 1) Quality "local" 2) Quality "International" 3) Exclusive "International"
Category 1 is the cheapest, maybe Tk. 35,000-50,000 a year. Notable schools include: Scholastica, Sunbeams, Sir John Wilson, Red Brick.
Category 2 is where many foreign kids go. Their costs range from $5,000-$7,000 (USD). These include: Australian, Grace, Singapore, Canadian, French.
Category 3 is the most expensive, starting at $10,000 (USD) and up. These are: American School and the International School (ISD).
As for reputable builders, there are many. Best would be to move here and rent until you can find a place. You can either buy from a pre-built or invest in a project. Again, until you are actually here, it is hard to judge.
I hope this helps a bit. Best
