What is the Cost of Building a House in Bangalore? Use our Building Construction Cost Calculator Tool to know your Budget

What is a construction cost calculator tool?

A Calculator tool is a software that uses algorithms and various information from the client’s end to suggest the approximate cost of constructing a building.

A construction cost calculator is a DIY tool that is designed to be intuitive and manageable by people with the least technical acumen.

“ Click on the Below image to use the Calculator tool ”

Before using the software, the user should have specific information handy such as the location of the site, the area of the plot, the type of materials they want to use for the doors, windows, and flooring, the kind of house, no. of floors, and no. of BHK.

Once you have all the information, the process of cost calculation takes less than a minute. Follow the step below to calculate the cost of building your residential building.

Procedure for Using the Cost Calculator:

After you have visited the page, the interface of the website is simple and it displays the cost calculator tool. One can easily notice various fields or input areas that are marked in Orange, Green, and White.

The fields marked in Orange color are the various parameters that one needs to fill or choose as per his requirements.

The Green mark indicates the various variables that you have selected except for site area, location, and no of floors, where your selection is only indicated in White. Follow the instructions to fill out each parameter accurately.

SITE AREA:

There are three ways you can fill this information by toggling on SITE AREA, SITE DIMENSION, or SQ. FT.

If you toggle on site area, you can manually type the area of your plot. If you toggle on-site dimension, you can select the size of your site from a drop-down list, or you can toggle on sq. Ft. to choose the area of your plot from a drop-down menu that displays areas starting from 400 sq. Ft. to 20,000 sq. Ft.

Once you have provided the information, you can move to the second parameter

LOCATION:

In this input, one has to provide the property location of his plot or choose the appropriate locality from the various locations from the dropdown. This information is used as a location input to suggest the estimated cost of the building.

Filling this input area accurately is critical as the cost of the plot varies from one location to the other. If one fills the wrong area, the estimated value may be completely different from the actual price. Hence, always choose the correct location where you wish to construct your home.

NO of FLOORS:

The next step of the process or parameters is to choose the number of floors or levels that you want to build. Again you need to choose the correct option from the drop-down menu. By clicking on it it will show the various parameters.

One will have to choose from the four options – Ground Floor Only(G), Ground+1 Floors (G+1), Ground+2 Floors (G+2), Ground+3 Floors (G+3), and Ground+4 Floors (G+4). Depending on the number of floors you want to build in the home, choose your appropriate option.

For example, if you’re going to build a ground floor and another level on top, choose the option Ground+1 Floors (G+1), and so on.

TYPE of HOUSE RENTAL / DUPLEX HOUSE:

Here, one needs to choose the type of home he wants to build. A residential building is mainly of two types Duplex or Rental or a combination of both duplex + rental home.

A simple duplex house is of 2 or more floors in a building with an internal staircase that connects both the two levels.

Whereas, a rental home is built to rent out several units on the same floor or multiple floors.

A Duplex + Rental is the combination of both such units, where the first two floors may be a duplex, and the remaining levels, such as three and four, might be rental or vice versa. One needs to select the type of home you want to build and move to the next option.

SELECT 1BHK/2BHK/3BHK:

The abbreviation BHK stands for Bedroom, Hall, and Kitchen. In this section, one has to select the number of BHKs you want in the residential building to be constructed.

The cost calculator provides you with four options – 1BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK, and 4BHK. Each option is essential and must be chosen precisely to obtain an accurate estimate.
Selecting the wrong value in any of the alternatives will completely throw away the cost estimate, and all the effort will be futile.

STRUCTURE BRICK/ CEMENT BLOCK:

In this option, one needs to select the building materials that will be used in building the structure of the house. As the cost of different types of materials varies, this parameter is significant in the cost estimation process.

The options available for one to choose are Cement Blocks (6’), Cement Blocks (8’), and Bricks. It is advised that before you decide on the type of material you will use, consult with your architect or if you do not have one, give us a call.

Some materials may cost you less upfront, but the maintenance cost will be high, whereas some materials cost more initially but require very little maintenance.

FLOORING VITRIFIED/GRANITE:

After you have selected the material for the structure, next, you have to choose the material for flooring. The options available in the cost calculator are Vitrified, Granite, and Marble + Wood. Select the type of flooring you want in the house.

DOORS:

Similar to the flooring option above, one can also select the material options for the doors of your home. Some materials may cost you a lot more than others but will be more durable and can last the whole life of the building, whereas, others are cheap but might require regular maintenance. Do your research and select the option.

The cost calculator provides options such as OST Doors, Sal Wood, Honne wood, and Teakwood.

WINDOWS:

Like the doors, you also have to select the materials for the windows. In the cost calculator, you have options such as Sal Wood, Honne, Teakwood, UPVC, and Aluminum.

PAINTING TYPE:

Building a House? Know about the factors that influence the Construction cost during building construction

The process of House construction:

The process of House construction in Bangalore includes getting an accurate Cost estimation done pretty early as it’s necessary before you decide to start your home construction.

It’s essential in the process of budget planning/cost estimation. One should have an accurate cost estimate even before any physical work stats on site as it allows you to plan the budget more accurately, which in turn provides your project financial stability and wards off any mid-project financial problems.

The accuracy of the cost estimate is vital as an inaccurate cost estimate can be futile for the project. For this purpose, you need to identify the factors that influence the cost of a building to arrive at an estimate.

Although one might come across numerous factors that can affect or influence the construction cost of a project, we will consider the top six that constitute a majority of the price.

As the process of cost estimation is complex and requires expertise in the field of construction, we advise that you hire an Architect to perform this pivotal part of a project.

Here are the top 6 factors that influence the cost of building a house:

Location and Current Condition of the Site:

If you are yet to purchase a site or plot, Then you need to know that the location also plays an essential role in the total cost of the project. As you must be aware, the cost of land varies from one part of the city to the other.

Suppose a piece of land in HSR layout will differ significantly from a piece of land in K. Narayanpura. In some areas, the cost of the plot will be a large chunk of the total cost.

Therefore, consider the location and the market value of land for the site. One needs to be wise in taking this critical decision and make sure that you have sufficient budget left over for the construction of the House after purchasing the site.

The condition of the site is another essential factor. It can increase or decrease the cost of construction. Depending on the state of the land additional work may be required to bring the plot to a condition where development activity can be initiated such as the site can be in a wetland.

Other site conditions that can influence the cost are buried storage tank in the location, poor soil condition, loose soil, overhead lines, dumped earth, existing bore well or natural well, conflicting utilities, road width, etc.

The role of Architects before and during Building Construction:

Like any other profession, there are different types of civil professionals with different levels of expertise and skill set. Some Civil engineers and Architects are highly qualified and reputed; they will charge a considerable sum of money.

The trick here is to determine the right Architects for your getting your house pans designed and constructed under his guidance. He needs to also help in appointing all the right contractors and consultants required during the project.

Hiring, a very reputed Architectural firm that charges more than 4% on the project cost to build a simple residential building is not wise.

Instead, One should hire a professional or an experienced freelancer who has completed similar projects to the one you are about to start.

During the initial meeting with him, one can enquire everything about his previous works and experience including the fees and if they have a contractor in mind.

Most of them prefer to work with contractors they have an association with previously, as it’s easy for them concerning project coordination.

There are generally three ways an Architect charges the fees for a project fixed lump sum, a percentage of the overall project value, and on an hourly basis.

In a fixed sum, he considers the responsibilities and provides you with a fixed price; on a percentage basis, they charge a percentage of the total cost of the project. As per regulations, one cannot charge more than 5 percent of the total cost of the project.

On an hourly basis, one’s charges depend on the number of hours they spend working on your project – drawing designs or onsite.

Cost of Building and Construction Materials:

When we talk about the cost of materials, it includes the tax levied, transportation cost, and any other additional cost incurred to get the materials to the site.

The cost of materials is another factor that weighs heavily on the total cost of the project.

The distance between the site and how close the source of construction or building raw materials is, can also increase or decrease the project cost. It’s always recommended that you choose to purchase materials from a vendor that is closest to the site;

It will significantly reduce the cost of materials. In addition to being cheap, if the materials are easily accessible, they can be bought easily in case the stock depletes.

One would not have to halt the project due to a lack of materials, which may add to the cost in the form of idle equipment and labor charges.

Labor Charges:

The wages of labor can vary from one location to the other. Depending on the size of the project, you may have to bring the workforce from other parts of the country, which can increase the cost of the project.

Apart from the remuneration, labor charges also include the food, lodging, and other facilities you have to provide to the workforce.

The construction cost estimation is done several months before the start of the project.

The wages of the labor may have fluctuated due to various external factors such as minimum wage revision by the government. Hence, consider the current cost of labor when the actual construction begins.

Market Inflation and Economic Factors:

As we mentioned earlier, the process of cost estimation is complex, and several things can go wrong.

Moreover, most of these things are not in our control. Economic factors are one of the essential aspects that can change the cost of a project.

Economic factors such as inflation, where the price of goods can rise will have an impact on the value of the project. Due to inflation, the cost of materials, equipment, labor, and tools can vary during the project.

Duration of the Project:

The size of the project and the period it takes to complete the project can also have an impact on the cost. If a home project is completed quickly, that can decrease the cost, whereas, if a project takes a long duration to achieve, that can also increase the value of the project.

Hence, you must follow the specific deadline of the project.

These are the top 6 factors that influence the cost of building a house, as the process of cost estimation is complex.

We recommend that you hire an Architect who can provide the necessary recommendations and take the burden of cost estimation or reduce the chances for a possible increase in cost escalation.
