Understanding Construction Area Units
Marla: A standard plot size in Pakistan and India. 1 Marla = 225 sq ft (varies by city).
Sikra: A local unit used in some regions, typically 1 Sikra ≈ 1000–1250 sq ft.
Square Feet: The most common unit for building floor area.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much steel is needed for a 10 Marla house?
For a standard 10‑Marla (2250 sq ft) double‑storey house, approximately 1800–2200 kg of steel is required depending on the design and steel quality. Use the default 80 kg/100 sq ft as a starting point.
Can I change the steel ratio?
Yes, the "Steel per 100 sq ft" input is fully editable. If your engineer recommends 100 kg per 100 sq ft, just type it in and the results update instantly.
