Building or repairing a home in India means many quick estimates: how much land a plot really is, how many bricks a wall needs, how many cement bags for a slab, and how many tiles or litres of paint to buy. These calculators work in feet and inches, and use the brick sizes, mixes and land units common in India.
Which calculator should I use?
- Buying land: the land area converter converts bigha, biswa, gaj, marla, kanal, guntha, cent and acre, with state-wise bigha.
- Walls: the brick calculator gives bricks, cement bags and sand for 9 inch and 4.5 inch walls.
- Slabs, floors and footings: the concrete calculator gives cement, sand and aggregate for M10 to M25 concrete.
- Finishing: the tile calculator, paint calculator and flooring cost calculator.
FAQ
Are these estimates accurate enough to order material?
They follow standard formulas used by engineers and contractors, and are good for budgeting and first orders. Actual use varies with material quality and workmanship, so keep a small buffer and confirm large orders with your engineer or contractor.
Why does a bigha have different sizes?
Land units in India come from old local systems, and each state kept its own definition. Always check the unit used in your land records.
