At a glance: Construction cost to build the grey structure of an A+ category 10 marla house
One of the first steps that you should take to construct a house in
Pakistan is to calculate the quantity and rate of material used in laying
the foundation and basic structure of the house. For this purpose, we
will take the help of the covered area mentioned above and determine
the quantity of materials used in the grey structure of an A+ category
10 marla house. Then we shall check out the current market rates of
the construction materials.
LABOUR
As the house has a covered area of 3,300 sq. ft. it would approximately
need 90,000 bricks to lay the house’s foundation. The Awwal category
/
of bricks is of superior quality. It is available at the rate of PKR 14.5
which means that the total cost of bricks would be PKR 1,305,000.
There are two kinds of sand used in the process – Ravi and Chenab.
Around 7,000 cubic feet of Ravi sand is used at the rate of PKR 20 per
cubic feet. So, a total of PKR 140,000 cubic feet of Ravi sand is used.
Crush or gravel is used to make the base structure of floors and roof in
the house. You would need approximately 1,600 cubic feet of Margalla
lintel which is mostly used in constructing the roof of the house. The
rate is PKR 75 per cubic feet which means around PKR 120,000 would
be needed. Sargodha gravel is used in building the floor of the house.
1000 cubic feet of Sargodha crush would be required to build the grey
structure of an A+ category 10 marla house at a PKR 65 per cubic feet
rate. A total of PKR 65,000 Sargodha gravel is required. Rori costs
around PKR 35,000.
Kassu is mostly used to fill empty plots and it is a mixture of mitti and
sand. Around PKR 85,000 are required for Kassu.

Cement is used in the plastering and many other things during
construction. For a 5 marla house, approximately 800 cement bags are
required at the rate of PKR 495 per bag. The total cost of cement used
in the grey house structure of a 5 marla house would be PKR 396,000.
Not only plumbing, you also need to set up electrical wiring in the
house. PKR 135,000 will be required to install the gas, drainage pipes
and other plumbing systems in an A+ category 10 marla house. Please
note that you can’t carry all the above-mentioned tasks on your own.
You would need to hire the services of a plumber to do the job
professionally.

Apart from installing plumbing and electric systems into your 10 marla
unit, you will also have to calculate the amount of steel used in the
house. Chougat Steel of around PKR 76,500 is needed.

excluding the above-mentioned tiles would be PKR 700,000
You would need 22 tiles at the rate of PKR 2,000 per sq. mtr.

marla home would be PKR 44,000

900 which will take the total to PKR 20,700
14 Royal and GFC fans in total, costing around PKR 8,500 per
unit, would be used. This means a total budget of PKR 119,000
should be reserved for installing fans
/
You would need at least 7 GFC exhaust fans in the house. Four
of them will be installed in the bathrooms and two in the
kitchen. One exhaust fan would cost you PKR 2,500 making a
total of PKR 17,500. Shenieder Breakers of PKR 60,000 are

Painting the walls and ceiling of the house
The paint job should be ideally done after you have installed the
switchboards and light fixtures so that no drilling work leaves any
mark on the walls. Painting a newly built house is tougher since it
requires careful application of the base coat. You, therefore, need a
professional painter to do the job for you. We have included the
painter’s cost in this. It is estimated to be around PKR 750,000.
For the exterior, rockwall is mostly used. In rockwall, marble chips are
used. First the wall is plastered and cleaned, then the base coat using
acrylic and white sand is applied. The base coat is very important as it
strengthens the walls. The total cost in the rockwall is PKR 60,000.
The rate for false ceiling including material and for any design is PKR
75 per sq. ft. It would cost you PKR 107,250.
WOODWORK
There would be Oulin doors that would cost you PKR 575,000. The
Oulin wardrobes would cost you PKR 360,000. An Oulin LCD rack
would be for PKR 100,000. The brass door handles of PKR 50,000 will
be used in the house.
MISCELLANEOUS COSTS
You can also add bright wallpaper to the house, which will cost you
PKR 200,000. There will be CCTV cameras installed in the house to
ensure the security of the inhabitants. In an A+ category house, an
automatic gate would also be included. The CCTV cameras would cost
PKR 35,000. A remote-controlled gate would cost PKR 85,000.
