It calculates carpet area, Built-up area and super built-up area for a given Plan.

Carpet Area is the area that can be used to spread a carpet inside the house.

Built up area is the area which is totally covered by internal and external walls and it also includes ducts & Interior part. It is also known as the total covered area of the apartment and is the sum of carpet area, area covered by the thickness of walls and includes the terrace, balcony and other liveable areas.

Super Built-up Area is the area calculated by adding the built-up area and common area that includes the corridor, lift lobby, lift, etc. In some cases, builders even include amenities such as a pool, garden and clubhouse in the common area. A Developer/Builder charges you on the basis of the super built-up area which is why it is also known as ‘saleable’ area.

The Cement Concrete Calculator (PCC Calculator / RCC Calculator) calculates cement concrete mix design or estimates how much cement concrete volume is required for construction.

It calculates the number of cement bags, amount of sand required in Ton & amount of Aggregate required in Ton for a total volume of Cement Concrete based on Grade of Concrete (M20, M15, M10, M7.5), length/width/depth of the construction.

Calculates the number of cement bags and sand required for wall plastering using a plastering calculator. Users can also calculate the amount of cement required for the ceiling, external rough walls also.

Plastering is the process of covering rough walls and uneven surfaces in the construction of houses and other structures with a plastic material, called plaster, which is a mixture of lime or cement concrete and sand along with the required quantity of water.

Plastering is done to protect the surface of masonry from atmospheric influences, especially rain. It provides lateral stability by binding all bricks or stones and protects masonry joints.

Brick masonry calculator calculates the number of bricks and mortar required for a given wall area. Based on wall length, wall height/depth, wall thickness, Brick Size & Cement concrete Ratio, it calculates the number of bricks, quantity of cement in Bags & quantity of sand required in Ton.

A Clay-brick is building material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry Construction. Traditionally, the term brick referred to a unit composed of clay, but it is now used to denote rectangular units made of clay-bearing soil, sand, and lime, or concrete materials.

The need to build highly durable high-rise structures was the motivation for fired brick manufacturing. Clay bricks have been widely preferred as a building material because of their high compressive strength, durability, fire and weathering resistance, and thermal and sound insulation.

Anti-termite treatment is a process of spraying the strong termite chemicals in the foundation pits. The purpose of anti-termite treatment is to kill and resist the entry of termites.

Pre constructional anti-termite treatment is a process in which soil treatment is applied to a building in early stages of its construction.

Anti-termite treatment being a specialized job, calls for thorough knowledge of the chemicals, soils, termite to be dealt with and the environmental conditions, in order to give effective treatment and lasting protection to the property undergoing treatment. It is therefore imperative that the works of anti-termite treatment should get executed through specialized Process.

We determine anti-termite method to use to find the area. In this case we are dealing with a length, width.

A floor is the bottom surface of a room. Flooring is the general term for a permanent covering of a floor, or for the work of installing such a floor covering.

Wood frame construction is the predominant method of building homes and apartments increasingly, wood framing is also being used in commercial and industrial buildings.

Calculate wood log required in both cubic feet and cubic meter. With this calculator you can exactly know how much wood is required to build door and window frames.

Wood is versatile and can be used in a wide variety of ways. Being light, it is easy to install and can be worked with simple equipment. This reduces the energy needed for construction different species of tree produce wood of differing colors, textures and functional qualities.

Top soil is the upper, outermost layer of soil, usually the top 5 inches (13 cm) to 10 inches (25 cm). It has the highest concentration of organic matter and microorganisms and is where most of the Earth's biological soil activity occurs.

Top soil is composed of mineral particles, organic matter, water, and air. Organic matter varies in quantity on different soils. The strength of soil structure decreases with the presence of organic matter, creating weak bearing capacities. Organic matter condenses and settles in different ways under certain conditions, such as roadbeds and foundations. The structure becomes affected once the soil is dewatered. The soil's volume substantially decreases. It decomposes and suffers wind erosion.

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Steel is created by heating iron in the presence of oxygen. Iron is a soft, malleable metal. Adding 1.5 to 2 percent carbon creates steel, which is a stronger but less malleable metal. Stainless steel is steel with varying amounts of chromium added to prevent rust from forming. Cast iron is steel with a carbon content higher than 2 percent. It is not malleable but can be melted and cast in molds.

Plywood as a building material is very widely used due to its many useful properties. It is an economical, factory-produced sheet of wood with precise dimensions that does not warp or crack with changes in atmospheric moisture. Ply is an engineered wood product made from three or more 'plies' or thin sheets of wood. These are glued together to form a thicker, flat sheet. The logs used to make plywood as a building material are prepared by steaming or dipping in hot water. They are then fed into a lathe machine, which peels the log into thin plies of wood. each ply is usually between 1 and 4mm thick.

Paint is a liquid or mastic material that can be applied to surfaces to colour, protect and provide texture. They are usually stored as a liquid and dry into a thin film after application. Paints be categorised decorative, are applied on site, or industrial, applied in factories as part of the manufacturing process.

Paint Calculator helps you calculate the area to be painted and gives you an estimate of the required amount of paint. Paints can be applied with a brush or roller, or by dipping, flowcoating, spraying, hot spraying, electrostatic spraying, airless spraying, electrodeposition, powder coating, vacuum impregnation, immersion, and so on.

A steel used un building structure fabricated with steel for the internal support and for exterior cladding, as opposed to steel framed buildings which generally use other materials for floors, walls, and external envelope. Steel buildings are used for a variety of purposes including storage, work spaces and living accommodation. They are classified into specific types depending on how they are used.

Steel is used because it binds well to concrete, has a similar thermal expansion coefficient and is strong and relatively cost-effective. Reinforced concrete is also used to provide deep foundations and basements and is currently the world's primary building material.

A staircase or stairway is one or more flights of stairs leading from one floor to another, and includes landings, newel posts, handrails, balustrades and additional parts. A stairwell is a compartment extending vertically through a building in which stairs are placed. A stair hall is the stairs, landings, hallways, or other portions of the public hall through which it is necessary to pass when going from the entrance floor to the other floors of a building.

Staircase consists basically of a series of steps, which in turn consist of a tread (the horizontal part, where the foot will rest) and a riser (the vertical part). Although it can vary in its design, each step must also have one or more landings.

Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates, binder and filler, used for constructing and maintaining roads, parking areas, railway tracks, ports, airport runways, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and also play- and sport areas.Aggregates used for asphalt mixtures could be crushed rock, sand, gravel or slags. Nowadays, certain waste and by-products, such as construction and demolition debris, are being used as aggregates, which increases the sustainability of asphalt.In order to bind the aggregates into a cohesive mixture a binder is used. Most commonly, bitumen is used as a binder, although nowadays, a series of bio-based binders are also under development with the aim of minimising the environmental impact of the roads. An average asphalt pavement consists of the road structure above the formation level which includes unbound and bituminous-bound materials. This gives the pavement the ability to distribute the loads of the traffic before it arrives at the formation level. Normally, pavements are made of different layers.

Excavation is the process of digging, excavation will be understood as the process of excavating and removing volumes of earth or other materials for the conformation of spaces.

Excavation is used in construction to create building foundations, reservoirs and roads. Some of the different processes used in excavation include trenching, digging, and dredging and site development. The processes used will depend upon the structure that will result from the construction process. For construction work excavation services are important.

We determine excavation method to use to find the volume. In this case we are dealing with a rectangular box because it describes a length, width and depth.

A water tank is a container for storing water.

Water tanks are used to provide storage of water for use in many applications, drinking water, irrigation agriculture, fire suppression, agricultural farming, both for plants and livestock, chemical manufacturing, food preparation as well as many other uses.

A concrete block is primarily used as a building material in the construction of walls. It is sometimes called a concrete masonry unit (CMU). A concrete block is one of several precast concrete products used in construction.

Concrete blocks can be solid or hollow with two or three cores or voids. Concert blocks are lightweight generally concrete blocks are light and common in various sizes a standard concert block is 600mm x 250mm x 150mm is equivalent to by about 8 red concrete-block, the weight of one single block is about 14kg where is 8 red concrete-block is 36kg that is more than double.

Circular columns are symmetric about any centroidal axis. A reinforced circular concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide reinforcement.

Spiral columns are cylindrical columns with a continuous helical bar wrapping around the column. The spiral acts to provide support in the transverse direction and prevent the column from barreling. The amount of reinforcement is required to provide additional load-carrying capacity greater than or equal to that attributed from the shell as to compensate for the strength lost when the shell spalls off.

The compound wall is a simple contemporary design, which breaks at two points, on either side of the site, to form horizontal openings that give a glimpse of the serene landscape within.

A compound wall serves to demarcate the site, protect one's property, ensure privacy and enhance aesthetic appeal. The most important reason for having a fence is security. Not only does a fence prevent encroachers from moving into your property but also effectively restricts entry into your space. Most city houses are independent units and therefore invariably have their compound walls.

Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Tube (Pipes) are generally used for water drainage,sewerage,culverts and irrigation. RCC Tube are very much preferred for such usage because they are leak proof, are easily repairable and are non-reactive to sewerage toxins. Concrete Tubes has been estimated to easily last around 100 years and as such they are fit and forget solution which is why they are preferred over other materials for such usage.

Roof pitch is the measure of the slant of your roof. It is one of the many important elements of your roof, Roof pitch is one of the most visible aspects of a roof. It’s the measure of the steepness of a roof, or its slope. Roof pitch is expressed as a ratio of the roof’s vertical rise to its horizontal span, or “run”.

The most commonly used roof pitches fall in a range between 4/12 and 9/12. Pitches lower than 4/12 have a slight angle, and they are defined as low-slope roofs. Pitches of less than 2/12 are considered flat roofs, even though they may be very slightly angled.
