Formula
Total = new area × new price + demolition area × demolition price.
Leave either side at zero if the job does not have it. The construction cost calculator does not add overhead unless your price already includes it.

Construction cost calculator for new work and demolition
This construction cost calculator multiplies new-work area by a price per square foot you enter, then adds demolition the same way. The demolition cost calculator is that second line. Neither price is a Dengaro quote.
Estimate
$38,400.00
New work$36,000.00
Demolition$2,400.00
PricesThe ones you entered
Planning estimate from the numbers you enter. Coverage, density, waste and price are assumptions, not a supplier quote or an engineering specification.
How it works
The estimate is two areas times two prices you type.
Two thousand square feet at $18 is $36,000 of new work. Four hundred square feet of demolition at $6 is $2,400. Together that is $38,400. Labor, haul-off, and permits sit inside those prices only if you put them there. A demolition cost calculator that should include haul-off needs that money inside the demolition price. This page does not look up a cost index. Dengaro arranges equipment financing for construction equipment. The total is not sent as a loan amount.

Example
2,000 square feet at $18, and 400 square feet at $6.
New work is $36,000. Demolition is $2,400. The estimate is $38,400. Change one price and only that side moves.

Tips
One price per square foot hides the trade mix.
A shell and a finished interior should not share $18. Split them, or type a blended price you can explain. Measure the demolition area as the area you will actually remove.

The machines are separate from the square-foot price.

Important questions
Know what to expect.
Is $18 a construction price?+
No. It is a placeholder. The construction cost calculator multiplies the price you type.
What belongs in the demolition price?+
Whatever you want that line to mean. Label it so haul-off is not counted twice.
Does this include a construction loan?+
No. This page prices the work from the numbers you type. Dengaro arranges equipment financing for construction equipment. The construction loan calculator is a separate interest illustration.
Can I price a lump sum?+
Set the area to 1 and type the lump sum as the price. The demolition line can stay at zero.
