What will it cost to build?

An indicative estimate based on MoIT’s BSR 2026 Quick Cost Guide. Enter each floor separately so its clear height and room sizes are reflected in the calculation. One free report per browser; further estimates are available through Omeya.

Your floors

Use covered plinth area at each floor level, not plot area. Height means clear floor-to-ceiling height, not the overall building height. Count bathrooms, kitchens, stores and utility rooms as rooms.

Include the BSR buildings OHS allowance (capped at 4%)

Preliminary planning only. This is an independent Omeya calculation using rates published by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MoIT), Royal Government of Bhutan. MoIT has not prepared, checked or endorsed this report. It is not a quotation, BOQ, valuation, certified estimate or approval.

Rates are in Nu. per m² of plinth area per metre of clear height. Floor cost = area × clear height × room-size factor × selected rate. Average room size = cube root of (area × height ÷ rooms). Intermediate factors are linearly interpolated; values outside the published table are not extrapolated.

A useful first estimate. A clear basis.

Do not rely on this preliminary figure for a loan application, tender, contract, construction commitment, insurance or a municipal submission. Obtain a current project-specific professional estimate. The calculation does not assess your site, design, quantities or regulatory compliance.

Land, major site development, abnormal ground conditions, special systems and finishes, professional fees, approval costs, taxes, financing costs, escalation and contingency are not separately assessed. Standard services may be included in the selected BSR type; selecting MEP, HVAC or ID does not establish that your required scope is covered. Duplex premiums require separate assessment.

Results support early planning for buildings of similar description. A project-specific estimate or valuation is needed for lending, procurement and construction commitments. Land, major site development, special systems and finishes, site conditions and price changes are assessed separately.

The published BSR remains the reference for source content. Inputs and calculations are confirmed during a professional engagement. Omeya’s application is separate from MoIT’s publication, and responsibility for its implementation does not transfer to MoIT. Applicable statutory rights and responsibilities remain unaffected.
