How it works
Construction cost is usually quoted per square foot of built-up area and varies with the city, materials and finish. We do not publish city rates; enter your contractor's quote. The extras line covers items often left out of per square foot quotes, such as design fees, approvals and a contingency.
Formula
Budget = area x rate x (1 + extras / 100)
- 1 square foot = 0.09290304 square metres (exact).
