Meet Aenish Shrestha: The Founder Building Practical Construction Apps

A house project produces a lot of information before it produces a finished home: material estimates, delivery notes, worker payments, drawings and progress photos. Keeping those details understandable is the focus of Aenish Shrestha, founder of GharNaksa and developer of practical construction apps.

His work includes a construction cost calculator, a modular site tracker and tools for AI-generated house plans that are still in development. You can meet him in the GharNaksa founder section or follow @aenish_shrestha on TikTok.

Two apps for two stages of a build

The calculator and tracker address different questions. Before work starts, a homeowner needs to understand the likely quantities and costs. Once work begins, the same homeowner needs a record of what arrived, what was paid and what happened on site. Aenish’s apps cover those two stages: planning the estimate and keeping the daily record.

Construction Cost Calculator: start with an estimate

An estimate gives a family or contractor a starting point for discussing the build. Instead of keeping one total in a message thread, the calculator helps organise the material and cost assumptions behind that number. It belongs early in the process, when choices about the house are still being discussed.

The Construction Cost Calculator on Google Play is Aenish’s app for this stage. Our calculator app guide explains its planning workflow. Keeping the estimate as a reference also makes later conversations more useful: you can compare the original assumptions with recorded purchases instead of relying on memory.

GharNaksa: keep the construction site record together

GharNaksa follows the project into construction. Its modular tracker brings materials, labor, payments and daily progress into one project record. Here, “modular” refers to the different parts of site management that the app organises, rather than a particular method of building a house.

• Materials: record deliveries, quantities, rates and suppliers.
• Labor and payments: keep worker records and payments connected to the project.
• Daily progress: capture site notes and dated photos so changes are easier to follow.
• Reports and collaboration: share the recorded information with the people involved in the build.

For a homeowner living away from the site, this creates a place to review updates. For a contractor or supervisor, it provides a record to return to when someone asks about a delivery or payment. The value depends on keeping entries current: an app can organise the information people record, while the team still needs to check that it matches the work on site.

What comes next: AI-generated house plans

Aenish is also developing tools for AI-generated house plans, extending his work toward the earlier stage of turning a house idea into a planning concept. This work is in development. This article does not announce a release date or present AI house-plan generation as an available feature of the GharNaksa tracker.

The connection across these projects is straightforward: help people organise their ideas, understand an estimate and keep track of the build. Each tool has its own role, and the house-planning work adds another area for Aenish to explore.
