Example 1: 1200 sq. ft. 2BHK Flat (Standard Quality)
Input Parameters
- Area:1200 sq. ft.
- Quality:Standard
- Location:Metro
- Points:Auto-calculated
Results & Cost Breakdown
Key Insights
- Standard quality with modular switches is the most common choice for modern flats.
- Materials account for over 70% of the total cost in a standard project.
- The total cost per sq. ft. for this project is around ₹66.
Pro Tip
Always use a licensed electrician and get a warranty for the work performed.
Example 2: 3000 sq. ft. Premium House
Input Parameters
- Area:3000 sq. ft., Metro Location
- Quality:Premium
- Points:100 (Manual entry)
- AC Points:5
Results & Cost Breakdown
Key Insights
- Premium projects have significantly higher material costs due to designer switches, better DBs, and potential automation components.
- More points are generally planned per sq. ft. in premium homes for greater convenience.
- The total cost per sq. ft. for this project is around ₹99.
Pro Tip
For premium projects, create a detailed electrical drawing with an architect to finalize all points and specifications.
Example 3: 500 sq. ft. Basic Shop (Surface Wiring)
Input Parameters
- Area:500 sq. ft., Semi Urban Location
- Quality:Basic
- Wiring Type:Surface Conduit
- Points:10 Lights, 5 Plugs
Results & Cost Breakdown
Key Insights
- Surface conduit wiring is cheaper and faster to install, making it ideal for commercial spaces where aesthetics are secondary.
- Labor cost per point is lower for surface wiring as it doesn't involve chasing (cutting) walls.
- Basic quality uses non-modular switches, which are more affordable.
Pro Tip
Even for basic setups, use good quality copper wire to prevent overheating and ensure safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an "electrical point"?
How does the auto-calculation for points work?
How are wire and conduit lengths estimated?
What's the difference between Concealed and Surface Conduit wiring?
- Concealed Conduit: Pipes (conduits) are laid inside grooves cut into the walls and slabs before plastering. This is aesthetically pleasing as no wiring is visible. It is the standard for new constructions but is more expensive.
- Surface Conduit: Pipes are fixed on the surface of the walls and ceiling. This is cheaper and easier for modifications but is less visually appealing. It's common in commercial buildings or for adding new lines in an existing house.
Does this estimate include the cost of light fixtures, fans, or appliances?
