Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate construction cost per square foot?
Multiply your built-up area by an all-in per-sq-ft rate — currently about ₹1,200–₹1,450 per sq ft for a standard build, varying by city. The calculator above does this automatically and splits the rate across 13 materials and labour.
How much does it cost to build a house?
For a medium-quality build: roughly ₹12–15 lakh for a 1,000 sq ft (≈2BHK) home and ₹18–22 lakh for a ~1,500 sq ft (≈3BHK) home, before land and approvals. Premium finishes add 30–40%. Enter your area and city above for an itemised estimate.
How much cement is required for a 1000 sq ft house?
A typical RCC home uses about 0.45 bags of cement per sq ft, so a 1,000 sq ft house needs roughly 450 bags (50 kg each) across foundation, slab, brickwork, plaster and flooring.
How much steel is required for 1000 sq ft?
Plan for about 3.5–4 kg of TMT steel per sq ft — roughly 3.5–4 tonnes for a 1,000 sq ft house. Slab-heavy or multi-storey designs sit at the higher end.
How much sand is required for 1000 sq ft?
Around 1.8–2 cu ft of sand per sq ft of built-up area — roughly 1,800–2,000 cu ft for a 1,000 sq ft house, split across concrete, plaster and masonry.
Which cement is best for house construction — OPC or PPC?
For most homes, PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement) is preferred for its workability, durability and weather resistance — ideal for slabs and plastering. OPC 53-grade is used where high early strength is needed, like columns and beams. HomeRun stocks both.
Which steel is best for house construction?
Fe 500 or Fe 500D grade TMT bars are the standard for homes — a strong balance of strength and ductility for earthquake resistance. Fe 550 is used for heavier structural loads.
How accurate are these prices?
Treat them as a planning estimate, accurate to about ±10%. Final cost depends on quality choices, site conditions, design complexity and live market rates.
