What will be the painting cost of one room?/ Estimation of the total cost of painting. ~ PARAM VISIONS

Now, let us calculate the interior painting cost of one room of a building as shown below.

I have shown the calculation procedure of the painting area of the above-given room in the article,

The total painting area of the room = 794.5 sqft.

The materials required for painting a room are as follows.

1. Wall putty. 2. Wall primer, & 3. Paint.

Now, let us calculate the painting cost of a room by using all these materials from the Asian paint company.

Note: The coverage area & rate is according to the company specification.

Calculation:

A. Material cost

= [( painting area ÷ area covered ) × rate/unit]

1. Wall putty

Cost = [( 794.5 sqft. ÷ 11 sqft. ) × Rs 22/kg.]

= [72.22 × Rs 22/kg.]

= Rs 1589/-

2. Wall primer

Cost = [( 794.5 sqft. ÷ 225 sqft. ) × Rs 145/litre.]

= [3.53 × Rs 145/litre.]

= Rs 512/-

3. Tractor emulsion paint

Cost = [( 794.5 sqft. ÷ 130 sqft. ) × Rs 125/litre.]

= [6.11 × Rs 125/litre.]

= Rs 764/-

Total material cost

= Rs 1589/- + Rs 512/- + Rs 764/-

= Rs 2865/-

B. Labour cost

= [total painting area × labor rate/sqft.]

= 794.5 sqft. × Rs 10/sqft.

=Rs 7945/-

Note: The labor rate includes the cost of sandpaper, roller, painting brush, etc. as needed to finish the work.

The total painting cost of the room

= Material cost + labour cost.

= Rs 2865/- + Rs 7945/-

= INR 10,810/-

Painting cost/ sqft.

= [total painting cost ÷ total painting area]

=[ 10,810 ÷ 794.5]

= INR 13.61/sqft.
