How to Use the House Building Price Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the cost of building a house. Fill in the details like square footage, material quality, area type, number of floors, and whether you want to include a garage or garden. Enter the number of bathrooms and bedrooms, then click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated cost.
How the Calculation Works
The base cost per square foot is set and adjusted based on the area type you select. Material quality further adjusts this base cost. Additional floors increase the overall cost by a percentage. If you choose to include a garage or garden, fixed additional costs are added. Finally, the number of bathrooms and bedrooms multiply fixed additional costs to the base price to arrive at the total estimated cost.
