You can add parameters to materials, but they will NOT show up in the material browser. You would need to create a schedule with materials and you will be able to see/select the parameter there.

Add  Shared Parameters to the objects that carry the material. They will show up in the Schedule.  A material shared parameter would be schedulable, but not show the information from your screenshot. Text parameter will be editable and that is the route that I would take.

If autodesk will programme it or give a option in material browser to add a new product information.

It will very helpful for finalising building estimation

Playing devil advocate here.  I don't see a strong reason to add information such as Manufacturer, Model Number, Cost too the material browser.  For very simple example:  re-bars and steel plate may have the same material, but one is priced based on length and the other based on area.  How would you think the cost of steel to be present in the material browser?

 

The information you ask are already there for building elements, which is appropriate.  Adding them to the material browser is redundant and providing little to no value.

You are right

Bt how many times I will calculate the value for quantity
Such as area and length

Example

I need complete detail of wall material

So how can I get this
1) total no of brick
2) total plaster area
3)total flooring tiles item in 1 bedroom but 2 types of. Flooring are there

If any idea then suggest

Create a formula driven shared parameter. For floors, for instance, I would create a formula that takes its Area and divides by the number of tiles per square foot of the surface.
