House builder (virtual ghar)
Build your house on the screen first — rooms, doors, windows, furniture, points — then tap anything to read what to buy and what fits where.
Draw your house, then tap anything to see what to buy
1. Pick your plot size. 2. Add rooms from the left panel and drag them into place — every room comes with typical doors, lights, fans, sockets, AC and furniture already in it. 3. Tap a room for its tiles, paint, cement, sand and wire; tap a wall to add doors and windows and see what fits there; tap a bed, TV, AC or sink to see why it is where it is and what it needs. Everything is saved in your browser.
Quantities are estimates for buying material, worked out from what you drew: doors and windows are deducted, wastage is added, and every assumption can be changed under "Change the assumptions". Bricks, roof slab and columns are not in the room figures — use the cost estimate for the whole house.
