Grey structure construction cost in Lahore
Grey structure cost is one of the first questions asked by homeowners planning to build in Lahore. A per-square-foot rate is useful for early budgeting, but it is not a substitute for drawings, quantities and a written scope.
Desire2Home’s calculator currently uses an indicative rate of PKR 2,500 per sq. ft. for Standard Grey Structure and PKR 3,250 per sq. ft. for Premium Grey Structure. These rates help with initial planning. Final pricing depends on the structural design, soil, plot access, number of floors, basement, material brands and current market conditions.
What is normally included?
- Excavation and foundation work
- RCC footings, columns, beams and roof slabs
- Brick masonry and lintels
- Internal and external plaster
- Concealed electrical conduits and plumbing sleeves
- Selected roof, tank and boundary items if stated in the contract
What may be excluded?
Soil replacement, dewatering, deep foundations, retaining walls, basement waterproofing, authority fees, utility connections and unusual structural requirements may be priced separately. Always ask for a written inclusions and exclusions list.
Covered area versus plot size
Cost is normally calculated on total covered area across all floors, not simply plot size. A 10-marla plot can have different covered areas depending on setbacks, planning and storeys.
How to compare quotations
Do not compare only the final per-square-foot rate. Compare steel brands, cement, brick specification, concrete methodology, waterproofing, supervision, curing, testing and payment milestones. A lower rate may exclude work that another quotation includes.
How to get a more accurate estimate
Prepare architectural plans, structural design, soil information and a clear grey-structure specification. Desire2Home can review these documents and prepare a detailed project discussion for Lahore and selected locations.
