FAQ

Questions Construction Cost Estimator API owners ask.

  • 01

    Does the estimate account for local market variability?

    Yes. The process starts with get_region_cost_index, which pulls a baseline rate specific to your target region and reference month, ensuring local market dynamics are included.

  • 02

    How do I adjust the cost for a high-end finish?

    You must use calculate_standard_multiplier with 'high' or 'luxury' as the standard. This capability provides the necessary multiplier factor to scale up the base cost correctly.

  • 03

    What inputs does the final calculation require?

    The estimate_total_cost_range capability requires three key pieces of data: your total built area (sq meters), the result from get_region_cost_index, and the multiplier from calculate_standard_multiplier.
