MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541060643 A) filed by Samuel Abraham D, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on June 25, for 'development of a web-based building estimation calculator.'
Inventor(s) include Arun A; Agathiyan S; Misfar M; Priya Dharshini C; and Samuel Abraham D.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Building Estimation Calculator is a clever software solution designed to simplify and enhance the automation of estimating construction project costs and resources. The software is a valuable resource for civil engineers, architects, contractors, quantity surveyors, and clients by offering an accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use platform for budgeting and resource planning. The calculator allows one to input project-specific values such as building dimensions, number of floors, material descriptions, labour rates, and location-specific price indices. The system does large calculations based on these input values to arrive at the overall cost, covering the cost of materials, labour, equipment, and contingency provisions. In addition to cost estimating, the tool may also have the capability of incorporating material quantity take-off, unit rate analysis, schedule-based costing, and comparison of different alternative materials or methods. Addition of user-specified templates and regional price databases is yet another addition of value to the tool's precision and the capability to suit multiple types of projects-such as residential small houses to commercial large buildings. By minimizing dependency on manual estimaling techniques, the calculator reduces the possibility of errors and cost overruns and enables better decisionmaking, effective utilization of resources, and timely project delivery., The calculator aids sustainable construction practice by enabling comparisons of varying building schemes and opting for cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives."
