Material Calculator — Full Material List by Area
The Vật Giá Top material calculator estimates every material you need — from structural (brick, cement, steel, sand, stone) to finishing (paint, tile, waterproofing), electrical, plumbing, and labor. Click the (i) icon next to each material for coefficient details and usage notes.
7 Material Groups Computed
- Structural: cement, steel (D10, D12), yellow sand, 1×2 stone, hollow brick
- Ceiling & Roof: metal sheet, tile, gypsum ceiling, purlin
- Finishing: wall/floor tile, interior/exterior paint, primer, waterproofing
- Doors & Glass: aluminum door, wood door, gate, railing
- Electrical: wire, conduit, panel, outlets, switches, lights
- Plumbing: PPR supply pipe, PVC drain, fittings
- Labor: structural, tiling, painting, electrical, plumbing, roofing
Material Formula per m²
Each material has a coefficient per m² of floor, derived from Vietnamese residential practice. Formula: Quantity = Floor area × Coefficient. Example for a 100m² single-floor house:
- Hollow brick: 100 × 70 = 7,000 units
- Cement: 100 × 0.35 = 35 tons = 700 × 50kg bags
- Steel D10 + D12: 100 × 45 = 4,500 kg
- Yellow sand: 100 × 0.45 = 45 m³
- Interior paint: 100 × 2.5 = 250 liters
Core vs. Optional Materials
The calculator splits materials into computed (standard coefficients, auto-calculated quantities) and optional (design-dependent — e.g. metal sheet vs tile roof, gypsum vs PVC ceiling). Each optional material has estimation guidance in the detail panel.
Caveats
Results are indicative with 10–20% variance based on structure, design, and construction method. Coefficients target standard residential builds — specialized structures (factories, prefabs) need separate calculation.
FAQ
How much material for a 100m² single-floor house?
About 7,000 bricks, 700 × 50kg bags of cement, and 4,500 kg of steel.
Does a two-floor house need double?
Yes — floor area doubles so materials scale proportionally. The foundation for a two-floor house needs reinforcement, so expect 5–10% extra.
Do the coefficients apply to grade-4 houses?
Yes — they fit both grade-4 and standard townhouses. Simple metal-roof grade-4 houses may use less steel (30–35 kg/m²).
