Choose a calculator
Select the building or work type that matches your project. Each opens a short step-by-step form — city, area, layout, and finish standard.
How the calculator works
Four steps from project details to a downloadable BOQ — powered by consumption rules, not generic per-sqft multipliers.
Step 1
Choose project type
Select house, warehouse, shop, or a ready BOQ template. Each type uses consumption rules tuned for that building.
Step 2
Add city & site details
Enter city, built-up area, floors, and room layout. City selection pulls local material and labour rates.
Step 3
Engine applies rules
Imagineering India’s estimation engine scales quantities from built-up area, applies stage rules, and sums material + labour cost.
Step 4
Review & export
See stage-wise breakdown, confidence score, matched suppliers where available, and download a BOQ PDF.
Who is this useful for?
Whether you are building your first home or preparing a client BOQ, the calculator gives a structured starting point — not a replacement for site inspection.
Homeowners & plot owners
Get a ballpark budget before meeting contractors — know material quantities and indicative cost per stage.
- Plan finance and construction phasing
- Compare economy vs standard finish levels
- Avoid surprise material bills early on
Contractors & builders
Use as a starting BOQ for residential and small commercial jobs instead of building quantities from scratch.
- Quick material list by built-up area
- Trade-wise labour person-days
- BOQ PDF to share with clients
Consultants & project teams
Validate rough-order-of-magnitude costs and timelines when scoping a new site or city.

- Stage-wise cost split for reporting
- Confidence indicator on data coverage
