The FRELUX Build-to-Roof Estimator is a comprehensive construction cost calculator that estimates materials and costs for a complete building project: from foundation excavation through structural framing to roofing. It uses practical construction standards, configurable material prices, and role-based labour rates.
Excavation, concrete footing, blocks, and damp-proofing materials. The estimator calculates based on your foundation type and building footprint. Use the Foundation Calculator for detailed foundation sizing.
Block quantity, cement, and sand for mortar. The estimator accounts for the building footprint, number of floors, and wall height. Deductions are made for doors and windows.
Columns, beams, and slab reinforcement. The estimator calculates concrete volume and steel reinforcement based on structural member dimensions. Use the Structural Calculator for detailed beam, column, and slab sizing.
Roofing sheets, timber, and associated materials based on the roofing type and building dimensions. The estimator supports multiple roofing configurations.
reference role-based labour rates for each construction phase: masons, carpenters, iron benders, and general labour: based on local market rates.
The estimator uses configurable material prices and reference labour rates. Adjust prices to match your local supplier for accurate budgeting.
All calculations use practical construction standards: 9-inch blocks, standard cement grades, local labour rates, and market-realistic material prices. The estimator is calibrated for practical building standards and can be adjusted for regional price variations.
It covers foundation, walls, structural frame, roofing, and labour for each phase. Finishing work (paint, tiles, POP ceiling) is estimated separately using the individual finishing calculators.
Yes. All material prices are configurable. Adjust them to match your local supplier for accurate budgeting.
The Build-to-Roof Estimator focuses on structural construction. For finishing costs, use the Paint Calculator, Tile Calculator, and Finish Estimator.
