Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
This tool provides a preliminary estimate based on generalized industry averages in India. Actual costs will vary based on your city, specific material choices, labor rates, and architectural complexity. Always consult a professional contractor for a detailed quote.
What is included in the "Pro" version?
Upgrading to a Pro plan (available as a monthly or annual subscription) unlocks all specialized calculators (Materials BOQ, Flooring, Painting, Plumbing, Electrical, Interiors, Doors & Windows), enables Standard & Premium quality estimates in the main construction calculator, and removes all restrictions on saving or sharing reports.
What costs are NOT included in the estimate?
The estimate covers core construction and finishing. It does not include the cost of land, architectural fees, government permits, utility connections, interior furnishings (furniture, appliances), landscaping, or boundary walls.
How does my location affect the cost?
Costs differ significantly between cities. Metropolitan areas like Mumbai, Delhi, or Bengaluru have higher labor and material costs compared to smaller towns. Our calculator provides a general average; please adjust for your local market.
Can I use the specialized calculators without a Pro account?
The basic Construction, Loan EMI, and Eligibility calculators are free to use. To access the specialized calculators for Interiors, Doors & Windows, Flooring, Painting, Plumbing, Electrical, and Materials BOQ, you will need to upgrade to a Pro account.
