How accurate is this construction cost calculator?

It is a ballpark planning figure based on per-sq-ft thumb rules. For an exact budget you need drawings, a soil test and an item-wise estimate (BOQ).

How is the cost calculated?

Built-up area (plot x coverage x floors, adjusted for parking or stilts) is multiplied by a state- and area-adjusted rate per sq ft, plus an optional lift.
