Construction questions, answered clearly.

The initial estimate is calculated by multiplying the total covered area by the selected per-square-foot rate. A detailed quotation is prepared after reviewing drawings, plot location, soil and site conditions, number of floors, structural requirements and the agreed material specification.

Enter the total covered construction area across all floors. Plot size and covered area are different. For example, a 10-marla plot may have a different covered area depending on setbacks, floor planning and the number of storeys.

Grey structure generally covers excavation, foundations, reinforced concrete work, brick masonry, roof slabs, plaster, concealed electrical conduits and plumbing lines, subject to the approved scope and specifications. Finishing materials such as tiles, paint, kitchens, wardrobes and sanitary fixtures are not included unless stated in the contract.

Turnkey construction is a coordinated design-to-handover service. Depending on the agreed package, it can include architectural planning, grey structure, flooring, ceilings, paint, doors, kitchens, wardrobes, electrical and sanitary fixtures, external works, inspections and final handover.

The difference is mainly in material brands, sizes, specifications, detailing and workmanship expectations. Standard finishing focuses on practical value, premium finishing uses upgraded materials and detailing, while luxury finishing allows high-end selections, customised joinery and more complex design features.

No. The online calculator provides an indicative covered-area estimate. Final pricing depends on approved drawings, structural design, basement requirements, soil conditions, project location, selected brands, market prices and the final bill of quantities.

The timeline depends on covered area, number of floors, design complexity, approvals, weather, material availability and the finishing level. A project schedule is prepared after the scope and drawings are confirmed, with work divided into clear milestones.

Yes. Architectural services can include requirement planning, floor plans, elevations, 3D visualisation, working drawings and coordination guidance. Completing the design and specifications before site work reduces changes, delays and avoidable cost decisions during construction.

Payments are normally linked to agreed project milestones rather than one full advance payment. The exact schedule is defined in the proposal or contract and may cover mobilisation, structural stages, finishing stages and final handover.

Yes. Desire2Home can coordinate online consultations, digital approvals, progress photographs, video walkthroughs, milestone updates and WhatsApp communication. The exact reporting format and approval process are agreed before construction begins.

Yes. Material specifications can be agreed before construction. Clients may select from recommended options or request specific brands, subject to availability, compatibility, budget and technical suitability.

Changes are possible, but they may affect cost, schedule and completed work. Any variation should be reviewed technically, priced and approved in writing before execution. Finalising plans early is the best way to control unnecessary changes.

Yes. Services include house renovation, interior and finishing work, commercial plazas, offices, mixed-use buildings, architectural design and construction project management, subject to project location and scope.
