PWD/SOR + Price Today Construction Calculator
Estimate full project cost from basement to high-rise tower
Calculate house, apartment, commercial and multi-storied project cost up to 75 floors with basement, schedule mode and Price Today market rate guidance.
Government schedule note: exact PWD/SOR or CPWD/DSR costing requires the official schedule PDF/Excel and item-code mapping. Until that file is uploaded, this calculator uses schedule-guided multipliers plus local Price Today market intelligence.
