Buildzar launches 'Beztimate' tool to calculate cost of home construction

India's first online market place for construction requirements Buildzar announced launch of its patent pending unique cutting edge product Beztimate. Beztimate is a tool to quickly provide estimates for particular construction based on user entered values. The tool gives detailed information about material required and construction schedule and a patent has been applied for the same as per the company.

Most of us, at least for once in lifetime makes this decision to start construction of our own house or renovating existing one and first question which comes in mind is "Kitna lagega?" (How much it will cost?). Beztimate seems to be most appropriate answer for this question at this moment. We tried to check it out but unfortunately it was not working at that time, may be some technical issue or scheduled maintenance.

“After going through a bad experience during my home building journey, I figured out that there is a lot of information asymmetry prevailing in the domain. Hours of online research and fumbling through many home design magazines gives you nothing more than just theory. Moreover, there is no price sanctity. Each service provider will give you a different ‘number’ and your entire home construction budget will go haywire,” says Vineet Singh, Co-founder & CEO of Buildzar who has invented Beztimate along with other Co-Founders Swapnil Tripathi and Vivek Sinha.
“This is when we thought of coming up with a tool that will not only help the customer in decoding the construction cost, time and quantity but will also help her to choose between multiple price points differentiated according to brand preferences and budget considerations,” adds Vineet.

Beztimate takes house configuration inputs from the user i.e. location of construction site & area of construction and processes the same using an advanced algorithm and real time price master, which results in a detailed cost summary and timeline of construction. Beztimate takes into account the laws and by-laws governing the area where construction is taking place, like FAR (floor area ratio), setbacks, height restrictions, etc. which may vary from location to location. At times, this varies even within a city depending upon the building planning authorities.  FAR is an index which defines the basic parameters of any construction in terms of permissible height, individual floor’s area and total number of permissible floors for a given set of inputs (city plus plot area logic).

Using this logic, Beztimate estimates various construction related expenses. It uses industry standards along with detailed formulas to come up with calculations that are as accurate as possible. It provides the overall cost estimate by adding up design, labour and material costs. Beztimate also provides a construction schedule according to various construction stages involved, which may vary according to user inputs like area, number of floors, type of finishing etc. The construction schedule helps the user to get an estimate of the various works that are a part of construction and proposes a timeline for each stage.
  
The most unique feature of Beztimate is that it gives the users a choice between multiple price points that are differentiated according to brand preferences and budget considerations. Estimates in rupees per square feet are also calculated for each of these categories (price points) namely Budget, Standard, Premium and Luxury.

It is very important to get an estimate of your project right at the start so that you can plan your finances accordingly and now you can easily do it through Beztimate, totally free of cost!
