Estimates material quantities and total construction cost from plot area (Marla or m²) and number of floors, using standard Pakistani construction industry thumb rules — useful for owners and builders for early-stage budgeting.
Planning estimate only: material consumption ratios below are general Pakistani construction industry thumb rules (cement/steel/brick/sand/crush per sq ft), which can vary ±20–30% depending on structural design, wall thickness, soil conditions, and quality grade. All ratios are editable. This does not replace a structural engineer's Bill of Quantities (BOQ) — get one before finalizing your budget or starting construction.

Formula Reference
Plot Area (ft²) = Marla × 225, or Square Meters × 10.7639
Total Covered Area = Plot Area × Number of Floors
Material Quantity = Covered Area × Consumption Ratio (editable per material) Material Cost = Quantity × Unit Price | Total Cost = Σ (all material/item costs)
Derived from a commonly-cited Pakistani double-story 5-Marla house example (~2,250 ft² covered area: ~625 cement bags, ~3 tons steel, ~56,000 bricks, ~3,050 ft³ sand, ~1,700 ft³ crush). All ratios are editable — adjust for your specific structural design, local practice, or engineer's recommendation.
