How we calculate
A clear method you can review, and every number can be traced.
Floor and region factors
A basement costs more per m² and a roof annex less; prices are multiplied by a region factor and adjusted monthly by the construction cost index when available.
Material quantities
Cement, rebar, blocks and concrete from standard ratios per square metre with 5% wastage, so you know the purchase size before asking for prices.
Duration and price range
An indicative construction duration and a range from low to high that covers contractor and material differences, rather than one misleading number.
Building cost calculator FAQ
Is the calculator free? Do I need an account?
It is completely free and needs no sign-in. Registering is optional and lets you save the calculation in your company and turn it into a project and an RFQ.
How accurate is the result?
It is a preliminary, non-binding estimate based on indicative market prices and standard ratios. Real differences come from the design, materials, site and contractor, so we show a range from low to high and recommend getting a design, a bill of quantities and actual quotations.
Where do the prices come from, and when were they updated?
From a table of indicative prices per square metre that the platform team reviews. Under every result you see «Prices last updated», and prices are adjusted monthly by the construction cost index from the General Authority for Statistics when available, with its source and month.
What is the difference between structure, finishing and turnkey?
Structure: excavation, foundations, concrete frame and blockwork with MEP rough-in. Finishing: plaster, floors, paint, joinery and electrical / sanitary finishes. Turnkey: both, up to a ready-to-live-in handover.
Are the material quantities accurate?
They are estimates from standard ratios per square metre with 5% wastage. Confirm them with the engineer's bill of quantities; they are good for sizing the purchase and asking for prices.
What happens when I press «Post your project»?
You register your company for free (or sign in), the calculation is saved in it, and you can create a project and an RFQ draft with the areas and quantities, or a materials request. Nothing is published and nothing reaches a supplier until you publish the request yourself.
