The three problems no contractor will tell you

01

Your contractor's quote is a black box

Most contractors give lump-sum quotes. No breakdown. No quantities. No way to verify if they're stealing cement bags or inflating steel tonnage.

02

Per square foot pricing hides fraud

₹1,800/sqft sounds simple. But it hides inflated brick counts, wrong mortar ratios, oversized pipe diameters — all ways contractors pad their pockets invisibly.

03

Five phases, zero unified picture

Structure, masonry, electrical, plumbing, interior — five contractors, five quotations, no reconciled total. You have no idea where ₹15 lakhs went.

Why NirmanShastra?

IS Code Traceable

Every number in your report traces back to a specific Indian Standard clause — not a contractor's gut feeling. Concrete mix design under IS 456:2000. Steel percentages under IS 1786:2008. Seismic compliance under IS 1893:2016. Check any figure against the code yourself.

Built by an Engineer, Not a Marketer

Founded by a NITian civil engineer with hands-on experience at a leading real estate construction company. NirmanShastra exists because contractor quotes are opaque by design — this tool makes them checkable.

Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Tiers

From ₹499 per detailed report. No subscription trap, no 'contact sales' for basic numbers. See the free grand-total range first, pay only if you want the itemised breakdown.

Your Data, Your Report

No commissions from contractors, no kickbacks from material suppliers. The numbers you get are calculated from IS codes and your inputs — nothing else influences them.

FREE CALCULATORS vs NIRMANSHASTRA
