Step 1: Measure Your Area
For each counter section, measure length and depth in inches, multiply them and divide by 144 to get square feet. Add the island, backsplash and any window sills.
Step 2: Add Wastage
Add about 10% for cutting and wastage — more (15–20%) for patterned stones that need vein matching.
Step 3: Choose a Stone Rate
From FB Marble's current list (estimates, confirmed on the day):
| Stone | Approx. Rate per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Pakistani granite | from Rs 250 |
| Imported granite | from Rs 700 |
| White granite | Rs 650 – 1,800 |
| Black granite | Rs 400 – 5,000 |
| Blue granite | Rs 1,900 – 4,000 |
| Quartz | mid–premium (on request) |
| Marble | varies by type (on request) |
Step 4: Add Fabrication Extras
- Premium edge profiles (per running foot)
- Sink, hob and tap cut-outs
- Backsplash
- Waterfall ends or mitered edges
Step 5: Add Installation and Transport
Installation, transport, removal of old counters and sealing.
Worked Example
Kitchen: L-shaped, two runs of 10 ft and 7 ft, 25 inches deep, plus a 4-inch backsplash.
- Counter area: (120 × 25 + 84 × 25) ÷ 144 = (3,000 + 2,100) ÷ 144 ≈ 35.4 sq ft
- Backsplash: (120 + 84) × 4 ÷ 144 ≈ 5.7 sq ft
- Total: ≈ 41.1 sq ft
- With 10% wastage: ≈ 45 sq ft
- Stone cost (example imported granite at Rs 1,600/sq ft): ≈ Rs 72,000
- Plus fabrication extras, installation and transport as quoted.
Tips for Accurate Estimates
- Measure carefully and double-check.
- Compare two or three stones in different price bands.
- Ask for a line-item quotation.
- Remember rates vary by batch and stock.
