How we calculate
Above-ground cost = footprint × storeys × 120 – 270 RON/m², a public benchmark from Daibau, section 7, not a Kran rate; VAT and the inclusion of transport or disposal are confirmed in the quote.
Volume = footprint × storeys × structural coefficient, plus footprint × selected additions. Assumptions, not measurements:
| Component | m³/m² |
|---|---|
| Wattle and daub / timber, above-ground floor area | 0.35 |
| Brick, above-ground floor area | 0.7 |
| Reinforced concrete, above-ground floor area | 1 |
| Basement, building footprint | 0.4 |
| Foundations, building footprint, separate from basement | 0.25 |
Volume range: 0.8 – 1.2 × volume, rounded outwards to whole m³. Loads: volume / 10 or 5 m³, rounded up; legal payload, rubble weight and access may increase the actual number.
Material, basement and foundations affect volume; access affects the number of loads. The price excludes paperwork, design, expert assessments, disconnections, basement, foundations, special protection, difficult access and asbestos; transport and waste treatment are confirmed separately if not included in the estimate.
