Construction cost guide · KHR
How much does it cost to build a house in Cambodia? (2026)
Cambodia is one of the lower-cost construction markets in the world, at about 25% of United States build costs. Construction here typically runs about $350–$650 per m² ($33–$60 per ft²) for a standard-specification home — so the total depends mostly on floor area and finish level. The ranges below are order-of-magnitude benchmarks; for a figure tied to your actual drawings, generate a full measured bill of quantities priced in KHR using the SMM-influenced unit-price bill standard.
