About Us

This House Construction Cost Calculator was built for anyone planning a residential construction project in Pakistan — from a first-time 5 Marla homeowner to someone budgeting a 1 Kanal turnkey build — who needs a fast, transparent, itemized estimate without calling multiple contractors just to get a ballpark figure.

Our goal is simple: take the scattered rules of thumb that experienced contractors and engineers use every day — cost per square foot, cement bags per square foot, steel per square foot — and put them into one editable, easy-to-use tool. Every default rate used in this calculator (cement, steel, bricks, sand, crush, boundary wall, approval fees, labour and finishing rates) is shown clearly and can be edited, because we believe an estimate is only useful if you understand exactly what assumptions went into it.

This is an independent, self-funded informational tool. We are not a construction company, contractor, real estate agency or material supplier, and we do not receive commission for recommending any contractor, brand or supplier. The calculator and the accompanying guide are maintained as a free public resource by a small team with backgrounds in civil engineering, quantity surveying and construction-cost research.

We update our default rate assumptions periodically based on publicly available market information, but construction material and labour prices in Pakistan can change quickly. If you notice that our default rates are significantly out of date for your area, please treat the “Advanced” rate fields as your primary tool — simply enter your own local quotations and the calculator will use them instead.

This tool is built entirely to run in your browser — nothing you enter is transmitted to any server, which you can read more about in our Privacy Policy.
