Construction Cost Estimator

Enter the built-up area, number of floors and your local cost per square foot to get an approximate total and an editable category-wise breakdown.

Your result will appear here after you press Calculate.

How this calculator works

Total area = built-up area per floor × number of floors (converted to sq ft)

Base cost = total area × cost per sq ft

Estimated total = base cost × (1 + location adjustment ÷ 100)

Category cost = estimated total × category share ÷ 100

Assumptions and limits

  • The cost per sq ft values offered for each quality level are sample starting values only. Replace them with rates from your own area and contractor.
  • The default category shares are an editable example split, not a standard.
  • Land, approvals, furniture, interior fit-outs, taxes and price escalation are not included unless you add them.

This tool gives an approximate estimate from the values you enter. It is not a substitute for professional engineering design, site inspection, official quotations or applicable building regulations. See the calculator disclaimer.
