House Construction Cost Calculator Pakistan (2026 Rates) | Avenir Developments

For A-category residential construction in Lahore, grey structure planning ranges commonly sit around PKR 2,800–3,400+ per sq ft with material and labour. Basements, soil conditions, and higher structural specs can increase this rate.

The grey structure cost in Pakistan typically ranges from PKR 2,800 to 4,500 per square foot. This price depends on your location and material choices. Grey Structure cost also depends whether the house has a basement floor or not.

In Islamabad, turnkey planning ranges are commonly PKR 6,000–8,800+ per sq ft for standard A-category homes. Premium finishing and strong MEP specifications can raise the overall cost per square foot.

A 5 Marla home’s total cost depends on covered area and finishing. With common covered-area bands (~1,900 sq ft), grey structure can plan roughly in the 65 Lacs range, while turnkey can plan roughly in the 1.5-1.7 Crore range, depending on specifications and basement.

A 10 Marla house often has ~3,000–3,300 sq ft covered area. Planning ranges can land roughly around 80 Lacs – 1.2 Crore for grey structure and 2.5 to 2.8 Crore for turnkey, depending on structural design, basement, and finishing level.

Building a 1 Kanal house in Lahore or Islamabad can cost between PKR 5,500 to 15,000 per square foot, depending on the design, location, and finishing materials. 

Construction costs have risen steadily. As of early 2025, the grey structure cost is roughly PKR 2,800 – 3,200 per sq ft, depending on location and specifications. Finishing costs can add another PKR 3,000 – 5,000+ per sq ft, depending heavily on the quality of fixtures, tiles, paint, woodwork, etc. (A+ finishes are higher). These are estimates; market fluctuations are common.

Basement construction adds excavation, RCC, waterproofing and ventilation. For 1 Kanal homes, the total budget increases materially with basement depth, soil and water table. A 1 Kanal House in Islamabad is completed in 6-8+ Crores. The accurate method is a BOQ-based quotation using your drawings and specifications.

With material offers one accountable contractor for labour + procurement and is easier for clients who want fewer headaches. Labour-only can work if you have strong supervision and purchasing control. Either way, a BOQ and clear specs are essential to avoid disputes and cost overruns.

Turnkey generally includes grey structure plus finishing such as tiles, paint, doors/wardrobes, kitchen, bathrooms, electrical, plumbing and final testing—subject to package and scope. Always ask for a written scope and BOQ-level specification list before signing.

For a serious quote, share your plot location, plot size, basement requirement, and your desired finish level. A construction company should then provide a BOQ-based estimate tied to drawings and a timeline, rather than a single vague per sq ft number.
