This building calculator tool helps you quickly estimate the materials needed for your construction project.
Building Cost Calculator
This building cost calculator helps you estimate the total cost of construction by taking into account the dimensions of the building, number of floors, and the cost of materials and labor per cubic meter. Fill in the required fields with accurate data and click the “Calculate” button to get an estimation of the total cost.
How to Use This Calculator:
- Enter the length of the building in meters.
- Enter the width of the building in meters.
- Enter the height of the building in meters.
- Enter the number of floors the building will have.
- Enter the material cost per cubic meter in dollars.
- Enter the labor cost per cubic meter in dollars.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the total estimated cost.
How It Calculates the Results:
The calculator first computes the total volume of the building using the formula:
Total Volume = Length x Width x Height x Number of Floors
Then it calculates the total material and labor costs:
Total Material Cost = Total Volume x Material Cost per Cubic Meter
Total Labor Cost = Total Volume x Labor Cost per Cubic Meter
The final total cost is the sum of material and labor costs:
Total Cost = Total Material Cost + Total Labor Cost
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate and should ONLY be used for preliminary planning. Actual costs could vary based on local material and labor rates, unforeseen difficulties, and other factors not accounted for in this calculator.
