Cost calculator

What will it cost to build?

An indicative figure in under a minute — then talk to us for an itemised estimate you can actually hold a contractor to.

Before this page goes live: the rates in assets/estimate.js are placeholder figures and must be replaced with 3s Vastu's own current rates for Keonjhar. A calculator that quotes the wrong number is worse than no calculator — every enquiry it generates starts with an argument about price.

How the money splits

Where your budget actually goes

On a typical private house, this is roughly how the total divides. It is worth knowing before you start — most overruns happen in the last two rows, long after people think the hard part is over.

Structure — about half

Foundation, columns, beams, slab, brickwork. Cement, steel, sand, chips and the labour to place them. This is the part that cannot be economised on later.

Finishing — about a third

Plaster, flooring, tiles, doors, windows, paint, plumbing and electrical fittings. Where the choice between basic and premium changes the total most.

Everything else — the rest

Design and approvals, machinery, transport, compound wall, water and electricity connections, and contingency. The row people forget to budget for.
