Free tools for building in Himachal
The arithmetic every plot needs before a drawing exists — land units, staircases, floor area, cost. No sign-up, nothing stored, and every figure shows the rule it came from.

Bigha ↔ square feet converter
A bigha means different things in different states. Pick yours and convert both ways.
▟
Staircase calculator
Risers, treads and going from your floor-to-floor height — checked against the NBC comfort rules.
▤
FAR & ground coverage calculator
Permissible floor area, coverage and height for your plot — straight from the HP slabs.

Construction cost estimator
A staged cost estimate you can adjust — hill construction costs more, and this says how much more.
✦
Vastu direction guide
Traditional room-placement guidance by direction. Not a building rule — kept separate from compliance.
The building rules, in plain words
Every rule our engine applies is published with the clause it comes from — FAR and coverage, setbacks, height limits, parking, fire access. Written to be read by the person building, not by a draughtsman.
Or skip the arithmetic entirely
Trace your tatima and get the measured boundary, the area statement and a CAD file — the same geometry these calculators work on, taken straight off your land record.
