Calculate the Material Quantity & Cost Calculator, follow these steps :-
Suppose we have a construction project with a total built-up area of 1000 square feet, and we want to estimate the material quantities and costs for different material qualities (Good, Better, and Best).
Input:
Total Built-Up Area: 1000 square feet
Material Quality: Good, Better, and Best (as selectable options)
Output:
Material Quantities and Costs for each material quality.
Let's assume the costs and material requirements for this example as follows:
Cement: "multiply factor" bags per square foot
Sand: "multiply factor" cubic feet per square foot
Metal: "multiply factor" cubic feet per square foot
Rubble: "multiply factor" cubic feet per square foot
Steel: "multiply factor" kg per square foot
Murrum: "multiply factor" cubic feet per square foot
Bricks: "multiply factor" bricks per square foot
Tiles: "multiply factor" square feet per square foot
Dedo Tiles: "multiply factor" square feet per square foot
MS Windows: "multiply factor" square feet per square foot
Glass for Windows: "multiply factor" square feet per square foot
Door Shutter: "multiply factor" square feet per square foot
Door Frame: "multiply factor" door frames per square foot
Labor Cost: INR "multiply factor" per square foot
Material Cost: INR "multiply factor" per square foot
Using the calculator, let's calculate the quantities and costs for each material quality:
Input:
Total Built-Up Area: 1000 square feet
Material Quality: Good
Output:
Material Quantities Required:
Cement: 360 bags
Sand: 2350 cubic feet or CFT
Stone 20 mm: 900 cubic feet or CFT
Stone 40 mm: 200 cubic feet or CFT
Steel: 2250 kg
Murrum: 750 cubic feet or CFT
Bricks: 16000 bricks
Tiles: 750 square feet
Dedo Tiles: 200 square feet
MS Windows: 140 square feet
Glass for Windows: 140 square feet
Door Shutter: 140 square feet
Door Frame: 8.5 door frames
Total Cost:
Labor Cost: INR 524,000
Material Cost: INR 1,306,320
Total Cost: INR 1,830,320
