The goal of estimating is to create a thorough and financial framework for a medium-sized construction project. Inaccurate estimations and cost overruns, which are frequent in the construction sector, are addressed in this project. In this instance, precise cost estimation is accomplished using labour and material lists extracted from the architectural plan. Using AutoCAD, create the 2BHK home design, section view, footing layout, and beam column layout. Then, use Microsoft Excel to create the entire estimation for the medium-sized construction. The entire cost of the materials, including transportation, as well as the complete cost of all labour, both skilled and unskilled, with a 10% profit, will be included in the rate analysis. The cost of the tools and the plan will also be taken into account. The projected value will then be compared to a residential structure in real time. We can prepare a precise number of materials by applying this precise estimation, which will limit the amount of cement used and, consequently, the environmental carbon footprint. With this precise material estimate, the majority of construction pollution will be minimized and air pollution will be managed. So we plan to review the existing estimation and budgeting methods and develop a new framework and test its applicability. To avoid the conditions like failure of work due to lack of time and the increase in the cost of construction with the wastage of materials which leads to the environmental pollution, we adopted the methods to overcome these problems.
