About this calculator
Planning to build a first or second floor on your house? Enter the area and the finishing you want to see the cost at today's prices. Remember that the existing structure must be checked by an engineer before any new floor is added.
How it's calculated
- Cost of the new floor = estimate for the house with the extra floor − estimate without it (no new foundation)
- Priced with today's material rates and Kataria Engineering finishing rates
Can I add a floor to my single storey house?
Only if the columns, beams and foundation were designed for it. An engineer must check the existing structure first; sometimes strengthening is needed.
How much does a first floor cost per sq ft?
Usually a little less than the ground floor because no new foundation is needed — use the calculator for today's figure.
