Dear Ahsan,
there is many ways to calculate these items but unfortunately there is no software or spread sheet for this purpose.
if you are located in islamabad then you can bring your drawings to us to help you calculating these items.
please visit our website www.clarebuilders.com if you need further assistance
Kind regards
It is possible to calculate the cost of materials. I have personally seen an excel sheet, however even without an excel sheet any experienced builder should be able to tell you here, instead of asking you to visit their office.
All someone needs to know is the area of the plot in order to tell you how many bricks, how much sand, how much cement and how much steel you will need. There will be a small margin for change due to the plan.
@Ahsan. There are many softwares for calculations but those are designed for western countries. These softwares can be customised but it becomes too complicated and not worth regarding time spent on it.
For example there are many softwares to calculate lumbar. Templates in softwares has different designs of doors. Our lumbar calculations are altogether different.
Bricks need exact dimension of brick and than mortar quantity between them.
Solution for it is to consult 3 contractors and you will have an idea. You can make entry in spreadsheet.
