Construction Cost Estimator

Get a rough ballpark for total build cost from floor area and a cost-per-square-metre rate. Clearly labelled as a guide — not a formal quote.

Measurements

Enter your regional rate per square metre — not per square foot.

How this is calculated

Estimated total = build area (m²) × cost per m² × number of floors.

Rates vary widely — a basic rural finish might differ greatly from a high-spec urban build. Enter the rate that matches your project type and location.

In Kenya, indicative mid-range rates often fall between KES 30,000–50,000 per m² — verify with local builders and QS reports.
