Home Construction Calculator – Free Home Estimate

A very important stage of building a house is the time before the work begins, including the cost estimate for the entire project. This depends on the planned usable area, but also on the construction technology (masonry or timber-frame), the planned number of storeys (single-story, two-story, with a usable attic), the type of roof (flat, gable, hip), whether a garage is integrated into the body of the building, and more.

However, regardless of which specific options you decide on, you can estimate the preliminary price of the house yourself – use our transparent calculator and get a completely free estimate for the construction of an energy-efficient home! Also, find out what exactly this calculator includes in its calculations.

The Cost of Building a Home – What Does It Consist Of?

The cost of building a home often has to include the money spent on purchasing a plot of land, connecting utilities, and obtaining a building permit. Fortunately, this stage doesn’t always mean huge costs, as some people already have suitable land for construction, for example, received through inheritance or as a gift. For this reason, no home construction calculator includes these costs. What expenses will we incur in the following stages?

The House Design

The next step is to obtain a house design, the price of which is very difficult to define precisely without knowing the investor’s individual preferences. It is rare that their needs are completely met by one of the standard, ready-made projects, which are relatively easy and cheap to acquire. As mentioned at the beginning, such a design usually needs to be modified and adapted, which means adding the cost of an architect’s work. As a result, it often turns out that the optimal option is to use the help of this specialist from the very beginning – thanks to this, you will receive an individual design, perfectly suited to the shape and characteristics of the plot, the available budget, and all the client’s preferences. It is worth emphasizing that design matters are also a separate stage, not strictly related to construction work, which is why the home construction calculator does not include them.

Construction Work

In the subsequent stages, the house construction estimate must already take into account the physical side of the entire undertaking, i.e., the purchase of materials, specific construction work, and the wages for individual teams (in a self-build system) or a general contractor. This part ends with the building being in an open shell state (SSO), a closed shell state (SSZ), or most often – a developer’s standard finish.

Finishing

The last stage, at which we often incur significant costs, is the work related to finishing and furnishing the house with furniture and all other elements necessary to move in “on a turnkey basis.” Most often, their cost is estimated separately after the building has been constructed and brought to a developer’s standard (for this reason, the home construction calculator does not include them).

Home Construction Cost Estimate – The Calculator as a Real Help

There is no simple online tool that will answer the question of the final cost of building a house with accuracy down to the last zloty. Nothing can replace an individual, detailed conversation with a technical-commercial advisor and an architect, as well as the knowledge of experienced cost estimators who have full knowledge of current prices for materials and labor. However, if you are interested in an estimate to understand the approximate price range, a home construction calculator is a support that will allow you to take the first step towards making the right decision.

How Does Our Home Construction Calculator Work?

On this page, you will find a very transparent and intuitive calculator that will allow you to estimate the preliminary cost of building a house. Using it is simple – just provide a few basic parameters about the property and preliminarily define the form of some structural elements. Our calculator will ask you to provide:

• the expected usable area of the property;
• whether you are interested in a masonry or timber-frame house;
• the type of roof (flat, gable, hip);
• the planned storeys (single-story, with a usable attic, two-story);
• preferences regarding the garage (whether it will be integrated into the building at all, and if so, whether for one or two cars).

Finally, the system will ask you for your contact details and to choose the voivodeship (province) where the construction is to take place (we need to know which branch will handle your project). You can also write a few words to us yourself.

That is all the information we need. In this way, our uncomplicated tool will help you roughly estimate the price of building a house, and if you wish to receive a more detailed quote, our technical-commercial advisor will contact you directly.
