2 Kanal Neo Classical House in Gulberg Greens Islamabad

A neo classical house revives the proportions and vocabulary of classical architecture — symmetry around a central axis, a clear base–middle–cornice composition, columns or pilasters, refined mouldings and stone or stone-look cladding — in a way that suits modern living. In a contemporary interpretation like this one, the detailing is simplified and the openings carry modern glazing, so the home reads as formal and timeless without becoming heavy or difficult to maintain.

Construction cost depends on covered area, finishing level, basement, structural design and facade specification, so any figure should be treated as planning guidance rather than a quote. As of mid-2026, grey-structure planning rates for A-category homes in Islamabad and Lahore commonly sit around PKR 2,800–3,500+ per square foot, with turnkey (grey plus finishing) for standard A-category around PKR 6,700–8,800+ per square foot. A neo classical home with a stone facade, double-height detailing and premium finishing typically falls in the premium band, commonly PKR 9,000–15,000+ per square foot turnkey. Because a 2 Kanal house carries a large covered area, small rate differences move the total significantly — the accurate method is a BOQ built from your actual drawings.

A 2 Kanal plot is 40 Marla, generally around 9,000–11,000 square feet of land depending on the society’s standard. Buildable covered area is governed by the relevant byelaws — ground coverage, setbacks, height and basement rules — which differ between DHA, Gulberg, Bahria and CDA sectors. With basement, ground, first floor and mumty, a 2 Kanal home delivers a large covered area across formal, family, bedroom and service zones. The exact figure for your plot should be confirmed against the current byelaws before the design is finalised.

Yes, Avenir Developments handles CDA and DHA approvals process. The design is developed as approval-aware from the start, with setbacks, height, ground coverage and frontage checked against the rules of the specific society or authority. We prepare submission-oriented drawings and support coordination through the approval process. Because requirements vary by society and are revised periodically, we confirm the current byelaws for your plot rather than assuming one standard applies everywhere.

In most cases, yes. Neo classical character comes from proportion, symmetry and material rather than from height or coverage that byelaws restrict. The facade is designed within the permissible building envelope, and detailing such as cornices, pilasters and balustrades is engineered to sit within setbacks and projection limits. Where a society has specific elevation or boundary controls, the design is adjusted to comply while keeping the formal language intact.

Both. You can engage Avenir for architecture and documentation alone, or for an integrated design-build (turnkey) service where the same team carries the project from concept through approvals, interiors and construction. The integrated route is what keeps the drawing, the budget and the built result aligned, with fewer gaps between consultants and the contractor.

Yes. A large share of 2 Kanal homes are built by clients living in the UK, USA, Canada, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The process is built for remote coordination: design approval through drawings and renders, documented material selections, stage-wise cost visibility, scheduled progress reporting and clear professional accountability.

Timelines vary with design complexity, approvals, basement and finishing. As broad planning guidance, design and documentation commonly take a few months, and construction of a 2 Kanal home typically runs over a year once approvals are in place. A realistic programme is set after the brief and drawings are confirmed, rather than promised before the scope is clear.
