How it is calculated

Quantities: masonry, partitions, plaster, tiling, facade, roof, windows, doors, floors and outdoor areas are derived from the geometry of the model. Change the model and the quantities follow.

Prices: unit prices from the model's price book, materials and labour, excl. VAT. They are the author's rounded estimates, not a contractor's quote.

Preliminaries: 2.5% of the works, rounded to CZK 5,000, calculated from the edited items.

VAT is applied per group: 12% and 21%. The contingency is added before VAT.

Totals are rounded to three significant figures; an estimate has no more precision than that.

Quantities come from the house model and its build-ups. Prices are indicative estimates for 2026, materials and labour, excl. VAT. The budget excludes the land, design fees and furniture. Numbers you change are saved in this browser only; clear a field to restore its default.
