Enter the built-up area of a framed RCC house to get a rough idea of the cement, steel, sand and aggregate to plan for.

This is an estimate from common rules of thumb (about 0.4 bags of cement, 4 kg of steel, 1.8 cu ft of sand and 1.35 cu ft of aggregate per square foot built). Real quantities depend on your design, wastage and site. Use your engineer's drawings to place the final order.
