House A

Edit covered areas and rates (optional)

Covered areas are prefilled reference assumptions for the selected plot and house type. Replace them with your approved drawings if different. Mumty is included.

Rates are editable reference assumptions, not a live market feed or a contractor quote. Changing the quality level reloads its reference rates.

B

House B

Edit covered areas and rates (optional)

Covered areas are prefilled reference assumptions for the selected plot and house type. Replace them with your approved drawings if different. Mumty is included.

Calculation and reference assumptions

Grey cost = above-ground covered area × above-ground grey rate + basement covered area × basement grey rate. Finishing cost = total covered area × finishing rate. Total construction cost = grey cost + finishing cost. The percentage difference uses House A as the baseline.

Default areas and rates were checked against the public Ghar Plans cost API on 20 October 2026. Its rate records were last updated on 5 October 2026. Our calculation is independently implemented and checked against 54 returned reference cases. These are dated reference estimates, not verified live quotations.

Reference tool

Construction scope, specifications, soil, approvals, taxes and site conditions can change the price. Structural requirements must follow the engineer’s design at every quality level. Check a written quotation before committing to a budget.
