Tamil explanation

எப்படி பயன்படுத்துவது? (How to use?)

1. நிலப்பரப்பு (Sq.ft / Cent / Ground) கொடுக்கவும்.
2. எத்தனை மாடி (floors) என்று தேர்வு செய்யவும்.
3. Quality – Basic / Standard / Premium தேர்வு செய்யவும்.
4. Standard rate அல்லது நாமே rate & material price கொடுக்கலாம்.
5. கீழே வரும் கட்டணமும், பொருட் அளவும் “approx” மட்டும்.

Inputs

Plot size, floors, quality, rate mode.

Built-up & Cost

Sq.ft area × rate → total construction cost.

Split & Materials

Civil, finishing, labour, contingency + material quantities.

Enter your plot & building details

Plot area / நிலப்பரப்பு

You can copy values from your land calculator – the tool converts internally to Sq.ft.

No. of floors / மாடி எண்ணிக்கை

Example: Ground only = 1, G+1 = 2, G+2 = 3, etc.

Built-up coverage (% of plot used per floor)

Typical residential buildings use 80–90% after setbacks, staircase, open space.

Construction quality (approx Sq.ft rate)

Basic – ₹1,700 / Sq.ft (budget) Standard – ₹2,200 / Sq.ft (balanced) Premium – ₹2,800 / Sq.ft (high finish)

These are thumb-rule rates. Local market, soil, elevation and brand selection can change final cost.

Rate mode / விலை முறைகள்

Use standard market Sq.ft rate Custom detailed rates & material price

For quick use keep “standard”. To match your market, switch to custom and edit values.

Custom rate & material price (optional)

Custom base construction rate (₹ / Sq.ft)

If empty, quality-wise standard rate will be used.

Labour share (% of total)

Contingency / wastage (% of total)

Material unit prices (for material cost approximation)

Material	Unit price (₹)	Unit
Cement bag		Per 50kg bag
Steel		Per kg
Sand		Per cubic feet
Brick		Per piece

Change these if your local material prices are different.

Built-up area = Plot area (Sq.ft) × Floors × Coverage% / 100.
