About the Granite Calculator
Whether you are comparing options or just need a quick check, the Granite Calculator delivers an accurate result instantly, with every input editable so you can model your own scenario.
Building a house in Pakistan means budgeting in rates per square foot for grey structure, finishing and utilities — and those rates move with material prices. This Granite Calculator estimates your construction cost from the covered area and current per-square-foot rates, so you can plan a realistic budget before you break ground.
The calculation applies the grey-structure rate and finishing rate to your covered area, with optional allowance for labour and contingency. The result is a total that matches how Pakistani contractors actually quote — per square foot of covered area.
Rates vary by city, specification and time of year. A 2025 benchmark is roughly Rs 1,800–2,500 per sq ft for grey structure and Rs 3,200–4,500 per sq ft for a complete house, but the calculator's rates are inputs so you can use your contractor's actual quote.
Construction budgets routinely overrun by 10–20% due to material price hikes and design changes during the build. Add a contingency of at least 10–15% to the estimate here, and update the rates monthly while construction is ongoing.
Come back to the Granite Calculator whenever your numbers change; because everything runs live in your browser, you can re-run it as many times as you need at no cost.
