Follow these five steps to get an accurate estimate of your building cost in Saudi Arabia:
Choose between villa, apartment, commercial, or warehouse. Each type uses different structural and material standards which affect the base cost per square metre.
Select from Shell & Core (عظم — bare structure only), Standard (mid-range materials), Premium (high-quality finishes), or Luxury (top-tier bespoke finishes). This is the biggest driver of overall cost.
Input the built-up area per floor in square metres and the number of floors. The calculator multiplies both to get your total construction area and estimates cost accordingly.
Optionally include land purchase cost and design/engineering fees to see the complete project budget — not just the raw construction cost.
Instantly review the itemized cost breakdown by category with a pie chart. Then export the full report as a CSV (Excel-compatible), a printable PDF, or directly into Google Sheets.
