Is this construction cost calculator accurate for my exact project?

No calculator can replace a detailed estimate from your architect or engineer. SimpleHome gives a realistic rough figure using state-wise rates and city type to understand the ballpark.

Can I use these numbers for home loan, tender or contractor agreement?

No. Banks and tenders require item-wise estimates and signed quotations. Use this tool for planning only.

Why does the cost per sq ft change between states and cities?

Material prices, labour and transport differ by region. Metro and hill areas are usually costlier, so SimpleHome uses state-wise base rates plus a factor for city type.

Can I calculate houses with parking only on ground floor?

Yes. You can choose full ground floor, parking with small rooms, or stilts parking. Parking options reduce finishing cost while keeping structural cost.

🌏 Location & rate insight

Instead of one flat India rate, SimpleHome uses a base rate per state and adjusts it for metro / Tier-2 / rural / hill conditions – plus your selected finish level.

📊

Realistic range Most low-rise homes land around ₹1,700–₹3,500 per sq ft depending on region & finish.

Thumb rules only – soil conditions, structural design, external work and special finishes can move real project cost up or down. Always confirm with your architect / engineer / contractor.
