House Construction Cost Calculator (material split)
Estimate the total cost of building a house and the share of cement, sand, aggregate, steel, finishing and fittings. Enter built-up area and rate per sq ft.
Quick answer
1,500 sq ft × ₹1,800: about ₹27,00,000 in total.
How it is calculated
- Total cost = built-up area × rate per sq ft = 1,500 × 1,800.
- Split by a common Indian thumb rule: steel about 24.6%, fittings 22.8%, finishing 16.5%, cement 16.4%, sand 12.3%, aggregate 7.4%.
- Ask a local contractor for your city’s rate.
Worked example
A 1,500 sq ft house at ₹1,800 per sq ft costs about ₹27,00,000: steel ₹6,64,200, fittings ₹6,15,600, finishing ₹4,45,500, cement ₹4,42,800, sand ₹3,32,100 and aggregate ₹1,99,800.
| Built-up area | 1,500 sq ft |
| Rate | 1,800 ₹/sq ft |
| Total cost | ₹27,00,000 |
| Cement | ₹4,42,800 |
| Sand | ₹3,32,100 |
| Aggregate | ₹1,99,800 |
| Steel | ₹6,64,200 |
| Finishing | ₹4,45,500 |
| Fittings | ₹6,15,600 |
Formula
T = Ar×Rt Total cost = T Cement = T×0.164 Sand = T×0.123 Aggregate = T×0.074 Steel = T×0.246 Finishing = T×0.165 Fittings = T×0.228
Good to know
- The split is a thumb rule; design, floors and material quality change it.
- Land, plan approval fees and architect fees are not included.
