When thinking about building a house, a person tries to approximately calculate the costs that he will have to incur. Beginners in this business do not know all the nuances, so it is simply unrealistic to “estimate in your head” the approximate amount of money required to carry out construction work. Fortunately, there are a lot of devices and services that help eliminate these problems and uncertainty. A house construction calculator is one of them.

Types of house construction calculations

The process of calculating a house consists of several stages. For reliable data, many details must be taken into account. Let's take a closer look at what the procedure consists of:

• indicators of the area of ​​the house are the size of the structure that is planned to be built, as well as the number of storeys of the structure;
• design solution - an approximate design cost that can be calculated for structural, engineering and architectural solutions;
• type of foundation – you need to decide which foundation will be used: strip or tiled;
• type of floors - the device can take into account the material that will be used for the construction of floors;
• calculation of the cost of building materials.

Before starting actual construction, it is necessary to calculate the costs of building materials for a particular structure

The main feature of the calculator is the ability to experiment and choose various combinations. During the calculation process, the client will be able to change the type of structure, building materials several times and completely change the design solution.

In what cases and how is a construction calculator used?

A calculator for building a house is a very convenient thing, which is primarily intended for approximate (preliminary) calculations of the cost of constructing a structure. Using the program, you can choose any technology for building a house, compare prices for materials and choose the most suitable ones, delve into the process and calculate the future decoration of the room (facades, etc.).

However, having received the estimated cost of building a house, the user must understand that the figure will be much less than the original. This is because the program chooses the average cost. During the execution of work, materials are purchased, the price of which can be significantly higher, as well as the cost of services for construction and installation work.

The disadvantages of the system are the lack of flexibility and transparency of calculations.

The construction calculator for calculating the foundation was created for approximate calculations of the costs of building premises and comparing the cost of structures built using different technologies.

What do construction calculators calculate?

The program helps calculate the cost of the foundation, walls, floors and roofing. Each item comes in different types and is manufactured with different characteristics. Therefore, the price of work will vary significantly. This is another advantage of using a calculator - the ability to select options.

The speed of construction work also depends on the quality of the calculations made, since a lack of any material can slow down the process

Calculation of materials for the foundation

The foundation is one of the most important stages of construction. The strength and reliability of the structure directly depends on the quality of work performed. The calculator helps users decide.

For a successful procedure, you should select the following options:

1. Type and shape of the foundation. The base can be strip or pile-grillage. The shape, as a rule, is chosen as standard - rectangular, but it is also possible to calculate a structure that has additional load-bearing walls.
2. You should decide on the thickness and length of the formwork boards.
3. For a more accurate calculation, the program asks you to indicate the grade of concrete, linear measurements and type of reinforcement.

After entering the parameters, the device displays on the screen how much fill, reinforcement and wire, as well as other materials need to be purchased to complete the work. In addition, the user will be able to find out what the length of the tape will be, the total load on the soil, the weight and volume of concrete, and other details. It is important to understand that all data is indicative and may change during the construction process.

Using a foundation construction calculator allows you to carefully design the work. This is necessary for the successful construction of the structure.

Strip foundations are considered the most practical and are popular among builders. This is a monolithic closed reinforced concrete strip that runs under all the load-bearing walls of the house. Thus, the load is distributed along the entire length. The corners in such cases are loaded the most. There are monolithic, prefabricated, shallow and deep strip foundations. To properly construct the foundation of the room, you need to do.

Calculations can be not only of a technical nature, but also of an economic nature, which plays a positive role in the preparatory stage of construction work

Nuances of calculating the consumption of bricks and blocks for walls

Bricks and building blocks have a similar shape, so consumption calculations can be carried out with the same data for each type of material.

You can start the calculation process after entering the following data:

• the total length of the walls of the structure (i.e., perimeter);
• area of ​​openings (doors and windows);
• thickness of the walls of the house;
• weights and walls of one product;
• heights of walls at corners;
• thickness of the material (mortar) in the masonry;
• type and size of bricks (L*W*H in mm).

There are devices that do not ask you to indicate the thickness of the masonry joint. The program takes a standard value of 1 cm and automatically increases the dimensions of a unit of material.

Thus, it is realistic to understand, because the procedure is quite simple. The user receives data on the mass, total area and cost of the masonry. Block walls occupy one third of the entire construction, so a detailed calculation will help determine future costs.

Some calculations allow you to calculate the economic component of the proposed work, for example, by indicating the cost of one unit of material, the calculator will calculate the total cost of the entire required quantity

What is pre-calculated when building frame houses?

When thinking about building a room, users study the question of how to calculate building materials for building a house. Fortunately, the calculator helps avoid a lot of problems and displays approximate indicators that will be useful to the builder in the future.

The construction process should always begin with a preliminary calculation of building materials.

To create an estimate, the user must enter the following parameters:

• type of foundation: strip, slab or pile;
• wall material: brick, construction, aerated concrete, ceramic or foam block, timber, carriage or rounded log;
• material for insulating the structure;
• roof type: single-pitch, gable, mansard or hip roof;
• equipping the house with utility networks and other communications;
• calculation of building materials for building a house: heavy or light concrete, mortar, insulation, cable cross-section;
• internal and external finishing of the structure.

Calculating building materials for a house allows you to choose the ideal option for the user and begin work, having an understanding of how much materials will be needed and what the room will be like in the future.

Preliminary calculations must be coordinated with experts in the field or they must check the calculations already carried out

Calculation of the amount of finishing materials

Lining is very often used as a finishing material. It can be made of wood (which significantly increases the cost of the material) or plastic. Wooden lining requires special care, therefore the estimate also includes all kinds of impregnations and other means, for example, varnish or paint. The plastic product has a long service life and excellent moisture resistance properties.

To calculate the approximate price for the material, you should enter data on the number of windows and doors, as well as their sizes, and the perimeter of the building, indicating the height of the walls. The construction calculator makes it possible to calculate such components as cornices, soffits, strips, trims and more. In addition to the lining, you should calculate the amount of other materials: plaster, wallpaper, paint.

Universal online calculators

There are universal construction calculators that will help you calculate the cost of a structure in general terms. Using such a program, you can compare the technologies used in the construction of buildings and the cost of work using different materials, and other parameters. To make a calculation, you must indicate the size of the house, the number of floors, the type of roof and foundation, the type of floors and materials that you would like to use.

In the calculator you can specify the number and sizes of windows, doors, as well as the height, width and length of the house. Universal devices allow you to calculate the price for additional options: insulation, electricity and water.

How much does it cost to build a house - the calculator will give you the answer

Using a calculator helps simplify the construction process and avoid problems with purchasing materials. This is an indispensable program for both novice users and professionals. It is important to understand that the system will not provide accurate data, but the builder will be able to make an approximate estimate.

Conclusion

A construction calculator will help you save time, calculate the volume of concrete and other materials, choose a construction technology, draw up an estimate and set a construction budget.

No less useful will be information about. The calculator will help you calculate the amount of material, and the instructions for each product indicate the required proportions. Liquid glass makes concrete moisture-resistant and waterproof. It is important to know that the materials are mixed dry.

There are universal devices and individual ones, for example, a construction calculator for foundations. To work with it, you need to decide on the type of foundation of the house and other details. In just a couple of minutes the cost will be shown on the screen.

Select total area

The total area according to SNiP is the sum of the areas of all floors of the house, calculated along the internal contour of the external walls (including stairs, internal walls and partitions).

The area of ​​balconies, loggias, porches, terraces and verandas is calculated with reduction factors from 0.3 to 1. The area of ​​the attic is calculated up to vertical walls 1.5 m high, with a roof slope of 30 degrees. Below 1.5 to 0.9 m with a coefficient of 0.7. Below 0.9 m is considered a blind zone.

If you have difficulty calculating the total area, contact our specialists. There is also an imperial method - add 20% to the “total area” indicated in the standard project. As practice shows, for a two-story house the error will be 3-5 m2.

Foundation

Choose a foundation

The foundation is the foundation of the house. His choice primarily depends not on personal preferences, but on the geological structure of the soil at the construction site and the selected design solutions for the future home.

The foundations we use with their design features ensure load-bearing capacity for any technology of walls, ceilings, roofs and facades we offer. However, weak soils or high groundwater levels may require adjustments to the type or design features of the foundation.

Select walls

• 1. Aerated concrete blocks

  Aerated concrete and gas silicate blocks (not to be confused with foam concrete) are manufactured in a factory with strength gained in autoclave ovens. The blocks have an ideal geometry, which allows them to be laid on thin-seam glue with the absence of cold bridges. Aerated concrete blocks with a density of 400 and 500 kg/m3 allow you to build houses of up to 3 full floors without the use of reinforcing monolithic frames. A block thickness of 400 mm is sufficient for construction in the Moscow region using modern heating technology.

• 2. Large format ceramic blocks

  Large-format ceramic blocks (warm ceramics) replaced piece solid bricks. Sawdust is added to the clay and when fired, it burns out leaving small closed pores, due to which the blocks have very good thermal performance indicators. To preserve heat in the masonry, the blocks are laid on a special heat-insulating mortar with perlite, and thanks to the tongue-and-groove system, they can do without filling the vertical joints with mortar. A thickness of 440 mm is sufficient for the Moscow region.

• 3. Monolithic (fixed formwork Plastbau)

  Swiss Plastbau technology is a monolithic construction technology using permanent formwork made of expanded polystyrene. Wall panels are completely manufactured in the factory, including the reinforcement frame, and delivered to the site cut to fit a specific house project. Factory production allows you to obtain the ideal geometry of wall panels, which only need to be mounted and concrete added. The outer layer of insulation is 100 mm, and the inner layer is 50 mm. Such insulation is not only sufficient, but also exceeds the requirements for the Moscow region, i.e. This is already an energy efficient technology.

• 4. Monolithic (permanent Velox formwork)

  The Austrian Velox technology is a monolithic construction technology using permanent formwork made from chip-cement slabs. The slabs are manufactured in a factory in standard sizes 500x2000x35 mm; the outer layer uses 150 mm thick polystyrene foam insulation, which exceeds modern heating engineering requirements for the Moscow region. The slabs are easily installed on site, additionally reinforced and filled with concrete. In the built box of the house, the effect of a wooden house is felt, thanks to the smell of wood.

• 5. Monolithic (fixed formwork Durisol)

  The Austrian Durisol technology is a monolithic construction technology using permanent formwork made from wood-chip cement blocks. The blocks are manufactured in a factory; the external blocks use 150 mm thick polystyrene foam insulation, which exceeds modern heating engineering requirements for the Moscow region. The blocks are easily installed on site, additionally reinforced and filled with concrete. In the built box of the house, the effect of a wooden house is felt, thanks to the smell of wood.

• 6. Expanded clay concrete blocks

  Expanded clay concrete multi-slotted blocks around the perimeter of all load-bearing walls of the house. Non-load-bearing partitions made of gypsum tongue-and-groove slabs.

Walls are what, as a rule, everyone calls a house built from. “What is your house made of? Brick, what about yours? And mine is made of aerated concrete.”

Of course, the house consists not only of walls, but the customer’s choice is primarily based on their choice.

All wall technologies we use comply with current heating engineering standards in accordance with SNiP for the Moscow region. There are also technologies for increased energy saving, mainly using permanent formwork.

And of course, each technology provides sufficient load-bearing capacity to build a house up to 3 floors inclusive.

Floors

Select floors

Floors, the design of which was developed by our company, allows spans of up to 6-6.5 m to be covered. As a rule, in country houses, spans range from 3 to 6 m. For larger spans, additional reinforcement and strengthening of structures will be required.

We use only modern monolithic or precast monolithic reinforced concrete floors and practically do not work with floors made of wooden beams or prefabricated reinforced concrete hollow slabs.

All types of floors we use provide sufficient load-bearing capacity, fire resistance and sound insulation.

Select roofing

The roof is an important component of the constructive solution of the future home. Not only the appearance, but also the protection of the building from precipitation depends on its choice.

The entire roof structure is made of wood impregnated with fire and bioprotective compounds. The rafter structure is designed for any type of roofing.

The roofing itself can be chosen based purely on personal preference. Of course, you should pay attention to the service life of the roof. We use roofing materials designed for a service life of 20 years.

Standard equipment "warm circuit"

Select facade

The facade is the first thing that any person pays attention to when looking at a house. One glance is enough to tell whether he likes the house or not.

The choice of facade finishing depends solely on the personal preferences and financial capabilities of the customer. But regardless of this, the facade, in the solutions we have chosen, will provide protection for load-bearing structures from the effects of weather conditions.

The fundamental difference in the finishing materials of the facade is whether it is masonry or adhesive material. For example, facing brick is a masonry material; it rests directly on the foundation or console. Decorative plaster or stone is a material adhesive to load-bearing walls that transfers the load to the foundation through the load-bearing walls.

Select windows

Windows are an important component of a country house. Natural insolation of the premises occurs through them.

Windows must be of high quality, because... up to 30% of heat loss in the entire house goes through them. For example, the average thermal resistance of an external wall is 3-3.5 m2C/W, and that of windows is 0.6-0.8 m2C/W, i.e. 5 times more heat is lost through 1 m2 of glazing surface than through a wall.

This should be taken into account when choosing a project with floor-length panoramic windows; an in-floor convector should be installed under each window.

Communications

Select communications

• 1. Work on installation of heating, water supply, sewerage, ventilation, power supply and lighting systems (if there is a project)
• 2. Without utilities

A modern country house should have the following utility systems:

Power supply and electric lighting (EOM)

Heating and ventilation (HVAC)

Water supply and sewerage (WSC)

Low-current systems (television and Internet, various alarms)

Additionally, air conditioning systems, lightning protection, video surveillance, access control can be designed, and all this can be comprehensively remotely controlled through the “smart home” system from your smartphone.

Rough finish

Select rough finish

• 1. Work on forming floor screed, plastering walls and ceilings to a level (if there is a project)
• 2. Without rough finishing

Building a house is a responsible and complex process, the nuances of which are known only to professionals. But the cost of building a house is primarily influenced by the amount of building materials used and the size of the building, so it is possible to roughly estimate the cost of construction for the selected project using online calculators.

Types of house construction calculations

There are several types of calculations, and a specific construction calculator is usually created for one of them. To understand what results to expect from the calculations, you need to understand what type of calculations are used:

By total area of ​​the house. A very approximate method of calculation - you indicate the linear dimensions of the building, the estimated number of floors and material for the walls, and the calculator gives an estimated cost.

By project type. A more complex method of calculations, which is carried out in several stages - based on architectural, structural and engineering projects. The cost of building the “box”, finishing work and the cost of laying out utilities are shown separately here. The accuracy of the calculations depends on the number of templates included in the calculator.

Foundation calculators. Allows you to roughly imagine the amount of building materials (concrete, reinforcement, boards for formwork) that will be required for the work. The accuracy of the calculations also depends on the number of templates included in the calculator.

In this video we will discuss what the cost of a wooden house consists of:

Depending on the templates and formulas included in the construction calculator, as a result you receive a calculation of the cost of building a house as a whole, or part of the work, so that you can choose the best option.

In what cases and how is a construction calculator used?

To properly use an online construction calculator, you need to clearly understand its pros and cons. At the same time, first of all you have to focus on the shortcomings:

Lack of flexibility. Any calculator makes calculations solely based on its built-in templates and formulas. If you need to calculate data for which the calculator is not provided, then you won’t be able to reconfigure it and you will have to do everything manually.

Low transparency of calculations. Even if the calculator contains exact formulas, the user has no way to check what exactly and how correctly he thinks, since everything is hidden behind the user interface intended exclusively for entering primary data.

Behind the user interface, the formulas by which the calculations are performed are not visible - only the initial data and the result Source nkkconsult.ru

Despite such significant disadvantages, various construction calculators are still very popular - this is due to the following positive aspects:

Based on the initial data that the calculator requires, you can still imagine the progress of the calculations and what to look for when choosing a project or communicating with the specialists who will perform the work.

Based on the results generated by the calculator, you can compare the cost of work with different materials or compare the price of houses built using different technologies.

As a result, the main task of a construction calculator is to clearly show the user how approximate calculations are made and what the difference is in the cost of houses built using different technologies.

At the same time, it is not recommended to use a building materials calculator for building a house for any precise calculations, since it is often unknown what formulas and with what tolerances the calculations are made.

What do construction calculators calculate?

In order to carry out the most correct calculation of the main building materials for the construction of a building, it is necessary to decide in advance on the design of the house that will be built. When the configuration of the future cottage is known, this data can be used in an online calculator to calculate the amount of materials needed.

An example of a finished wooden house project Source nkkconsult.ru

Calculation of materials for the foundation

The foundation accounts for approximately a third of all construction costs. Laying out the foundation is one of the first stages of work and calculations usually begin with it. To calculate the amount of building materials, it is proposed to select or manually set the following data:

type of foundation - strip or pile-grillage (it is impossible to calculate a completely pile foundation online, since too many variables must be taken into account);

foundation shape – usually rectangular or with additional load-bearing walls;

linear dimensions - depending on the accuracy of the calculator;

solution proportions - concrete grade;

thickness, and in some cases, the desired length of the formwork boards;

type of reinforcement.

After calculations, the calculator displays the volume of future pouring, the amount of reinforcement and wire for tying, and the cubic capacity of boards for formwork

The nuances of the calculation that arise can be clearly seen in the example of calculating the amount of mortar for pouring a strip foundation measuring 5x6 m for a small country house with two rooms.

A strip foundation is a concrete foundation laid along the perimeter of the house frame under all its load-bearing walls and transferring the load from the cottage to the ground.

Strip foundation Source lyfo.ru

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer house design services. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the “Low-Rise Country” exhibition of houses.

When calculating the volume of fill, the width of the base (for example, 40 cm) is multiplied by its depth (50 cm). The resulting cross-sectional area is multiplied by the length of the walls (3 x 5 m and 2 x 6 m).

The simplest calculation could look like this: 0.4x0.5x((6x2)+5x3)) = 0.4x0.5x27 = 5.4 cubic meters. m of solution.

But there is one nuance here that must be taken into account - when the 6 m sides are filled with concrete, then part of the 5 m wall volume is also “captured”. If you do not pay attention to this point, you can order more concrete than necessary. In fact, the calculation will be 0.4x0.5x((6x2)+(4.2x3)) = 0.4x0.5x24.6 = 4.92 cubic meters. m of solution.

Correct calculation of the volume of a strip foundation Source nkkconsult.ru

As you can see, even on a small foundation the difference is noticeable - a mistake of half a cube of solution, and that’s 1.5-2 thousand rubles...

To find out the approximate cost of various types of foundations, use the following calculator:

Nuances of calculating the consumption of bricks and blocks for walls

Since bricks and building blocks have a rectangular shape, the calculation of building a house is carried out with approximately the same initial data, so most calculators for calculating walls can be used for each of these materials.

To calculate the number of blocks or bricks, the online construction calculator will request the following data:

the total length of all walls of the house (perimeter, m);

area of ​​door and window openings;

the thickness of the building walls (the thickness can be half a block, as well as 1, 1.5 or 2-2.5 blocks);

The width of the masonry is 2 bricks Source azbuka-stroy.ru

weight and price of one block (kg and rub.);

thickness of the mortar in the masonry (cm) - usually this indicator ranges from 3 to 10 mm;

height of walls at corners (cm);

type and size of future blocks: length, width and height (mm), and some calculators allow you to take into account the voids of blocks, which is used in a number of calculations.

Building Blocks Options Source nkkconsult.ru

Important! In some calculators, the thickness of the masonry joint is not indicated separately. This means that either it is not taken into account at all, or the “format” rule applies, in which the dimensions of a unit of building material are increased by 1 cm (by the standard seam thickness).

Based on all these indicators, the total area, weight and cost of the masonry are calculated. Approximately the cost of constructing block (brick) walls will be 1/3 of the cost of building the entire house.

The video provides an example of manual calculation of the number of bricks:

What is pre-calculated during the construction of frame houses?

The frame-type house construction calculator allows you to pre-calculate the approximate amount of materials before contacting the specialists of the selected construction company.

To prepare an estimate, the following parameters are calculated:

foundation (for the construction of ordinary frame houses, a pile foundation is excellent, and in the case of unstable soil or for a heavier cottage, a strip or slab foundation);

the amount of material required for insulation - calculated depending on local climatic conditions;

roof dimensions - there is a significant difference between a regular roof and an attic roof;

parameters of utility networks and other communications - not a single calculator can provide all the nuances;

amount of wind and vapor barrier materials;

external and internal finishing of the future building - depending on the selected materials.

To correctly select the foundation and type of roof, it is necessary to perform a detailed calculation of the specific gravity of the walls, floors and roof. Depending on the size of the cladding material, the dimensions of the building and the roof structure, builders select a transverse or rack beam for the load-bearing structure of the house.

Source market.sakh.com

The basis of any frame house is the upper and lower frame, which also need to be calculated - both in terms of strength and in terms of the volume of building materials used. The cross-sectional area of ​​the timber is usually taken as the basis here.

Calculation of the amount of finishing materials

To calculate the construction of a house, it is important to determine the amount of finishing material for the walls. One of the most common materials is various types of lining, using an example of which you can consider the nuances of calculations.

The first parameter that affects the price is the type of lining (wooden or plastic), which determines its dimensions.

Wooden lining is a natural material that is durable and has a long service life. The only drawback of this building material is its high susceptibility to moisture content in the air, which is why it is necessary to include various impregnations, varnishes or paints in the estimate. The dimensions of the lining vary in the following ranges: length - from 210 cm to 600 cm; width – 8, 10, 11, 12, 15 cm; thickness: 1.3 cm, 1.6 cm, 1.9 cm, 2.5 cm.

Plastic lining has an increased service life and absolute moisture resistance, making it excellent for finishing the exterior surfaces of a house. For this type of lining, the dimensions will be as follows: length - from 300 cm to 600 cm; width – 10, 12.5 or 15, 20, 25 cm; thickness: 5, 7, 8, 10 mm.

Calculating the amount of lining using an online calculator Source iapplenews.ru

To calculate the required amount of lining, the following data is used:

number of windows, their height and width;

number of doors and their sizes;

building perimeter and wall height.

Knowing the area of ​​the building facades and the area of ​​a unit of facing material, you can calculate the amount of lining or other type of siding by dividing the first by the second. The same thing happens when calculating floor coverings inside the house.

Such a building materials calculator will also help calculate the number of specific elements, for example, cornices, strips (starting or finishing), soffits, trims, and other things.

Also, when calculating finishing materials for interior work, the volumes and quantities of paint or wallpaper, flooring and plaster are taken into account.

Video example of calculating the amount of linoleum required:

The consumption of many of them (for example, primers or paints) is indicated on the label by manufacturers. Therefore, you only need to know the coverage area (height times width, minus the area of ​​windows or doors).

Universal online calculators

To determine the approximate cost of the entire construction, a universal, easy-to-use construction calculator is used. This program is designed to perform a preliminary calculation of the price of a house, taking into account the basic parameters.

Online calculator for calculating building materials Source apkpure.com

By choosing a specific construction technology using a construction calculator, you can quickly compare the cost of building a building in different configurations.

When calculating the cost of construction using an online calculator, the following indicators are taken into account:

foundation type;

area of ​​the house;

number of storeys;

type of roof;

type of floors (material used for their construction);

types of construction and finishing materials.

In universal calculators, it is possible to enter the dimensions of the building (height, width and length), as well as window and door openings, certain dimensions of each room, the depth and width of the foundation, the angle of the roof and the type of heating.

An example of an online calculator for calculating the cost of a turnkey house Source nkkconsult.ru

For example: building an economy option (a one-story cottage with an area of ​​up to 80 sq. m) can cost 1 million rubles or more. Basic two-story houses with an area of ​​150 square meters. m, will cost at least 2 million rubles. The highest price will be for the construction of large and spacious premium class mansions with a total area of ​​more than 350 sq. m. m – from 5 million rubles.

Conclusion

The main purpose of using an online calculator is to save time. The program makes it possible to calculate the approximate cost of building a house quickly and easily. However, it is worth considering that such software implies a considerable error in the calculations. Accordingly, accurate results can only be obtained from a specialized company.

Using an online calculator, it is easier to decide on a suitable project for your future home. The process of calculating the cost of a house is not influenced by the human factor, and the application itself is often free and accessible to everyone. And yet, in order to reduce errors in calculations to a minimum, it is recommended to contact specialized companies with experienced craftsmen.
