Area is computed per original logic I = A×B×C + D×E×F + O×P×Q in square feet. For 2 storeys, quantities and costs use a 1.7 factor. For 3 storeys, a 2.4 factor. Area display follows your base formula without multiplying by storeys, matching the provided code.
How to Use Building Cost Estimator/Calculator For Nepal
- First of all, open the Building Cost Estimator/Calculator For Nepal. Confirm the highlighted section headers and compact inputs.
- After that, choose the number of storeys. The calculator uses 1 for one storey, 1.7 for two storeys, and 2.4 for three storeys.
- Then, enter the number of rooms. Enter the room length and width in feet.
- Now, enter the number of verandas with staircase. Enter the veranda length and width in feet.
- After that, enter the number of passages. Enter passage length and width in feet.
- Now, type the contractor cost per square foot in Nepali Rupees.
- Finally, click Calculate. The tool shows built up area, contractor cost, steel weight, bricks count, cement bags, and total estimated cost. Click Re Calculate after any change.
What is Building Cost Estimator/Calculator For Nepal
It is a quantity and cost calculator that converts room, veranda, and passage areas into built up area and multiplies by standard production factors and rates to estimate steel, bricks, cement, contractor cost, and total cost for typical residential buildings in Nepal.

Numerical Example of Building Cost Estimator/Calculator For Nepal
Q. Estimate built up area and key quantities for a two storey house in Nepal with six rooms of 12 ft by 12 ft each, one veranda with staircase of 8 ft by 24 ft, two passages of 4 ft by 10 ft each, and contractor rate of NPR 1,800 per square foot. Use calculator factors. Show final costs and quantities.
Ans
Step 1: Built up area
Area of rooms = number of rooms × room length × room width
= 6 × 12.0 × 12.0 = 864 ft²
Area of verandas = number of verandas × veranda length × veranda width
= 1 × 8.0 × 24.0 = 192 ft²
Area of passages = number of passages × passage length × passage width
= 2 × 4.0 × 10.0 = 80 ft²
Total built up area I = rooms + verandas + passages = 1,136 ft²
Step 2: Base totals from calculator formulas
Total Estimated Cost base J = I × 3000 = 1,136 × 3000 = 3,408,000 NPR
Contractor cost K = I × contractor rate = 1,136 × 1,800 = 2,044,800 NPR
Steel weight L = 5.5 × I = 6,248 kg
Bricks M = 22 × I = 24,992 nos
Cement bags N = 0.45 × I = 511.20 bags
Step 3: Storey factor
Two storeys use factor 1.7
Final contractor cost = K × 1.7 = 3,476,160 NPR
Final steel weight = L × 1.7 = 10,622 kg
Final bricks = M × 1.7 = 42,486 nos
Final cement bags = N × 1.7 = 869.04 bags
Final total estimated cost = J × 1.7 = 5,793,600 NPR
Notes. The base area I is displayed as entered per storey. The factor multiplies costs and quantities for two and three storey options. Edit rates and factors as per project norms and codes.
FAQs
- Can I change the contractor rate
Ans:- Yes. Enter any value in Nepali Rupees per square foot to match your market. - Why does the area not multiply by the storey factor
Ans:- The calculator shows base area as entered. The factor scales quantities and costs. - How are steel, bricks, and cement estimated
Ans:- Steel uses 5.5 kg per square foot. Bricks use 22 per square foot. Cement uses 0.45 bags per square foot. - What if I have no veranda or no passages
Ans:- Leave the count as zero. The area will only come from rooms. - Is this suitable for apartments
Ans:- Use it for quick checks. For detailed design follow structural drawings and specifications.
