Construction cost calculator, Islamabad and Rawalpindi
Calculator — above the fold
Worked example — re-run, not copied
5 marla double-storey, 2,000 sq ft covered, grey at Rs 3,300 per sq ft, finishing at Rs 2,200 per sq ft, contingency 0%:
- Grey: 2,000 × 3,300 = Rs 66,00,000 (Rs 66 lakh)
- Finishing: 2,000 × 2,200 = Rs 44,00,000 (Rs 44 lakh)
- Total: Rs 1,10,00,000 (Rs 1.10 crore)
This matches the Raabty example in the price-range sheet, re-run with this calculator's own formula. The calculator default is standard grey Rs 3,500 per sq ft (Avenir Q4 2026), so the default total for the same 2,000 sq ft at finishing Rs 2,200 and contingency 0% is Rs 1,14,00,000 (Rs 1.14 crore). The difference is the grey rate you choose, not a hidden assumption.
Why totals disagree across calculators
Competitor calculators in the teardown gave a "standard complete" 5 marla figure near Rs 1.76 crore on one page (Rs 7,810 per sq ft for 2,250 sq ft) and near Rs 44.5 lakh on another, with a Lahore standard range of Rs 65–80 lakh. The difference is covered area, finishing definition, city, and date — not a single "true" rate. This page defines covered area first, shows grey and finishing separately, and lets you change every rate.
