Unit cost metrics

Calculate shelter cost per place and per square metre

Use your own budget, capacity and area to calculate two simple comparison metrics. They are useful only when the compared projects use a comparable technical baseline and scope.

No automatic conversion. Your selection is remembered for other cost calculators.

Inputs

Your project budget or supplier offer

No sample capacity or area is inserted. Currency switching does not convert entered values. Use the same definition of project area and the same scope when comparing alternatives.

Cost per place is not a universal market price

Small shelters can show a higher cost per person because fixed items such as doors, ventilation, electrical systems, logistics and installation are spread across fewer places. A lower unit figure does not automatically mean a better or more complete solution.

Cost per m² only works with the same area definition

Do not compare the structural footprint of one offer with the complete project area of another. Entrances, technical spaces, sanitary rooms and other areas can be included differently across project documents and supplier offers.
