Materials for your build stage

Product Predictor

Answer where you are in the build and get the product categories and material quantities to line up next, from the PCC bed and the TMT at the footings to plaster, tiles and paint at handover.

The detail

Say where you are

The tool asks where the build has actually reached rather than handing over a generic programme. Foundation, plinth, superstructure or finishing, the answer changes what comes back, because the only useful list is the one for the stage in front of you.

Categories, then quantities

What comes back is a set of product categories with indicative material quantities against them: the PCC 1:4:8 bed and M25 footings with their reinforcement and TMT at the foundation, the damp-proof course and anti-termite treatment at plinth level, the RCC frame and the brick, block or fly-ash masonry through the superstructure, and plaster, flooring, joinery and paint at the end.

In the order the site works

The list follows the sequence rather than an alphabet. Electrical wiring and plumbing go in as a first fix before the plaster and flooring that bury them, which is the ordering a schedule forgets exactly once and then remembers for the rest of a career.

In practice

Ahead of the stage, not behind it

Materials get remembered on the morning they are needed, which is the most expensive moment to remember them. Answering where the build has actually reached returns the categories and quantities to line up next, in the order the site will consume them, with the services placed ahead of the finishes that bury them.

  • What comes next, not a generic schedule
  • Categories with indicative quantities
  • Services sequenced before the finishes
BEFORE & AFTER

Off the envelope, onto a number

A material remembered on the morning it was needed.

The next stage's categories and quantities, lined up in advance.

Plaster goes on, and then the wiring has to go somewhere.

Services sequenced ahead of the finishes that cover them.

“Cement” on a list, and an argument about grade on site.

PCC 1:4:8, M25, TMT, named the way the site orders them.

WHAT YOU GET

Built to carry the weight

Aware of the stage

Foundation, plinth, superstructure or finishing. The answer follows where the build actually is, not where a generic programme says it should be.

Categories and quantities

Product categories with indicative quantities against them, so procurement can begin before the drawings for the next stage have even landed.

In sequence

Electrical and plumbing first fix ahead of plaster and flooring, so the order of work is built into the list rather than assumed.

INSIDE THE TOOL

What it asks, what it returns

Foundation and plinth

  • PCC 1:4:8 bed and M25 footings
  • Reinforcement and TMT bars
  • Damp-proof course and anti-termite treatment

Superstructure

  • RCC columns, beams and slabs
  • Burnt clay brick, concrete block or fly-ash masonry
  • Cement mortar, cast, cured and cube-tested

Finishing and services

  • Internal and external plaster
  • Flooring, joinery and paint
  • Electrical and plumbing first fix
HOW IT WORKS

Three moves, nothing to guess

01

Say where you are

Answer where the build has reached, from the foundation bed through to the finishing trades.

02

Read what comes next

Product categories and indicative material quantities for the stage in front of you, named by grade.

03

Share it out

Send it into the client's workspace so the studio, the client and the contractor are working from one list.

Wiring goes in before the plaster. Every trade knows it, and every schedule forgets it exactly once.
Why the list is ordered by stage, not by category
GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered

Straight answers about product predictor, in plain language.

Ask us anything

No. The quantities are indicative, enough to line up procurement and check a supplier's number for the stage ahead. A measured bill taken off your own drawings and specification is still a separate exercise.

The standard Indian residential sequence: foundation, plinth including the damp-proof course and anti-termite treatment, superstructure with the RCC frame and masonry, then finishing, with electrical and plumbing first fix placed ahead of plaster and flooring.

Yes. Share it into the client's workspace and all three parties are reading one list rather than three versions of it, which is where most site-day arguments actually begin.
