How does this calculator work?
It multiplies the covered area of your house by a per sq ft rate for the specification you choose.
The rates are the bands we publish in our cost guides for Hisar and for Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula, last revised in October 2026. They cover the structure and its finishes. They leave out the plot, interiors, landscape, boundary walls, approvals and professional fees.

|---|---|---|
| Quality standard | ₹1,800 to ₹2,400 | Sound structure and standard finishes |
| Well-detailed | ₹2,400 to ₹3,200 | Better windows, stone flooring, branded fittings |
| Premium | ₹3,500 and above | Imported marble, extensive woodwork, home automation |
| Band | Per sq ft | What it buys |

Plot area or covered area: which do I multiply?
Covered area. A per sq ft rate applies to every floor you build, not to the land under it.
Covered area is the footprint of each floor added together, including any basement and stilt floor. With a plot size, the calculator applies the ground coverage you set and multiplies by the number of floors. The rules for your plot cap that coverage; our guides to kothi design in Mohali, Chandigarh and Punjab set out the limits.
Plot sizes in North India come in several units, and a marla is not one size. Check the area on your sale deed before you convert it.
| Unit | Sq ft | Sq yd (gaj) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 sq yd (gaj) | 9 | 1 |
| 1 sq m | 10.76 | 1.2 |
| 1 marla, Punjab revenue | 272.25 | 30.25 |
| 1 marla, 500 gaj kanal | 225 | 25 |
| 1 kanal, Punjab revenue | 5,445 | 605 |
| 1 kanal, many tricity sector plots | 4,500 | 500 |
What do common plot sizes cost to build?
Four worked examples, run through the same arithmetic as the calculator.
200 gaj kothi, Hisar
3,000 sq ft covered, quality standard
₹54 lakh to ₹72 lakh
200 gaj kothi, Hisar
3,000 sq ft covered, well-detailed
₹72 lakh to ₹96 lakh
10 marla kothi, Mohali
4,400 sq ft covered, premium
₹1.23 crore to ₹1.76 crore
1 kanal kothi with basement, Chandigarh
7,000 sq ft covered, luxury
₹2.8 crore to ₹4.9 crore and above
Covered areas fall within the ranges in our Hisar and Chandigarh cost guides. Plot, interiors, landscape and fees excluded.
What does the per sq ft rate leave out?
The plot, and much of what makes a house feel finished.
- Boundary wall, gates and the car porch
- Electrical and plumbing fittings, beyond the conduits and pipes
- Modular kitchen, wardrobes and loose furniture
- Solar panels and the structure that carries them
- Landscape, paving and external lighting
- Approval fees, professional fees and site supervision
In the tricity, interiors, landscape and compound walls typically add 25 to 40%; tick the box in the calculator to include them. Rooftop solar carries a central subsidy under PM Surya Ghar of up to ₹78,000 for a home system, and a construction workers' welfare cess of 1% may apply; our Hisar cost guide explains both.
Why do two contractors quote different rates?
Because they are almost always pricing different houses.
A per sq ft figure hides the specification behind it: the finishing level, the brands of fittings, the waterproofing, and whether services and the compound are in or out. Structure costs much the same in a modest house and a fine one. Budgets separate at the windows, stone, woodwork, bathrooms and the services you do not see.
So compare specification sheets, not headline rates. Our guide to architects, contractors and design-build firms explains who prices what, and when.

Construction cost: common questions
How accurate is this construction cost calculator?
It gives a budget range, not a quote. The rates are our published 2026 bands for structure and finishes; a priced specification for your plot will place the figure within the band, and sometimes beyond it.
What is the construction cost per sq ft in 2026?
In Hisar, about ₹1,800 to ₹2,400 quality standard, ₹2,400 to ₹3,200 well-detailed, ₹3,500 and above premium. In Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula, about ₹2,200 to ₹2,800 quality standard, ₹2,800 to ₹4,000 premium, ₹4,000 to ₹7,000 and above luxury. The plot, interiors and fees are extra.
How much does it cost to build a 200 gaj house?
In Hisar, a two-storey house of about 3,000 sq ft costs roughly ₹54 lakh to ₹72 lakh at quality-standard rates and ₹72 lakh to ₹96 lakh well-detailed, before interiors, landscape and the plot.
Should I count the basement and stilt parking?
Yes, both are covered area. The calculator prices every floor at the same rate. In practice a basement tends to cost more per sq ft, for excavation, retaining walls and waterproofing, and an open stilt floor less.
Can I use it for a city outside Haryana and Punjab?
Yes. Choose Another city and enter the rate from a local contractor's quote. The covered-area arithmetic works anywhere; only the rate changes.
