Building or fixing a home means trusting quotes you can't easily check. GenuineRate shows you what each line should cost, so you can ask the right questions before you pay.
Most of us build or renovate a home once or twice in a lifetime, while contractors and shops price jobs every day. That information gap is where overpaying happens — usually not from bad faith, but because nobody checks. We believe every homeowner should be able to see a fair price, line by line, in plain language — and use it to have a better conversation with the people doing the work.
Branded materials — wires, MCBs, switches and more — are matched to our price list of typical dealer prices and MRPs, checked with dealers.
Every month we research cement, steel, sand, bricks, blocks, ready-mix concrete, labour and construction rates for all 36 states and union territories and 70 major cities — from dealer and brand price lists, state schedules of rates, wage notifications and published price trackers. All 788 districts use their state's rates, adjusted to the local cost level. See the rates.
AI reads your quote — printed, handwritten or a photo — into lines and matches each one to our data. Items we don't have researched data for yet get an AI estimate for your city, clearly labelled so you know to verify it.
When homeowners check quotes and scan products, the prices they were charged — without names — show others what people actually pay in their city.
GenuineRate gives information to help you negotiate — it isn't engineering, legal or financial advice, and a price above the typical range doesn't mean anyone acted in bad faith.
