Hi

  I'd say the proper model for distribution and Core would be 9500 but it will increase the cost of the project considerably. 

If you a looking for something not so fancy considering the size of the network,  I'd suggest C9200-24PXG for Distribution (24 ports full PoE+ 8 mGig ports up to 10G, 16 ports up to 1G) and the Core could be a Catalyst 9300L (12x10G)

access switch ..cisco cbs 350

distribution switch... min 2xSFP+ uplink to core switch+ min 4xsfp port+ min 5x 1g copper port

core switch.. min 4x sfp+ ports and min 2 copper ports...........................

the budget is low so please suggest economical switch

The models I suggest is probably the most economical.
