This calculator gives you a transparent 2026 cost estimate for residential construction anywhere in Lahore or Pakistan, based on three inputs, plot size, number of storeys and finishing package. The rates used (PKR 600 to PKR 4,800 per sq ft) are Pillarstone Developers' verified current rates, the same rates we quote on actual WhatsApp enquiries.
The calculator uses the Lahore standard of 1 Marla = 225 sq ft, which is the conversion used by LDA and most Punjab societies. A 5 Marla plot = 1,125 sq ft, 10 Marla = 2,250 sq ft, 1 Kanal = 4,500 sq ft. Covered area depends on setbacks, typical residential construction in DHA, Bahria Town, LDA societies and Park View City covers 80–88% of plot area per floor, with a default of 85% used by the calculator.
Labour Rate Only (PKR 600/sft), You arrange and supply all material (cement, steel, sand, crush, bricks). We supply labour, skilled masons and site supervision. Ideal if you have material contacts or want full control over procurement.
Grey Structure with Material (PKR 2,500/sft), RCC frame, brickwork, plaster and roof slab. We arrange all material and labour to engineered specifications, leaving you with a clean grey-structure handover ready for finishing.
Complete with Finishing / Turnkey (PKR 4,250/sft), Grey structure plus standard finishing: flooring, tiles, electrical fittings, plumbing, paint, doors, windows and modular kitchen. The house is move-in ready.
Premium Finishing (PKR 4,800/sft), Turnkey build with imported Spanish or Turkish tile, imported marble, premium fittings (Master, Sonex, Faisal), designer modular kitchen and high-end electrical throughout.
Actual construction cost varies with plot orientation, drawing complexity, basement or extra-storey requirements, foundation type (raft vs strip), live cement and steel prices, and finishing material choices. The range gives you the realistic floor and ceiling for your specific build. The final BOQ, itemised quantities and rates, is what we share on WhatsApp once we know your exact plot dimensions and preferences.
For quick reference, here are typical ranges for double-storey residential builds in Lahore at the standard 85% coverage assumption: 5 Marla turnkey approximately Rs. 80–95 Lakh, 10 Marla turnkey approximately Rs. 1.60–1.85 Crore, 1 Kanal turnkey approximately Rs. 3.00–3.45 Crore. Premium finishing adds roughly 13% to these numbers. Labour-rate-only is roughly one-seventh of the turnkey cost since the owner supplies material.
The calculator covers structural and finishing construction. It does not include: land cost, plot transfer fees, society NOC charges, drawing approval fees, sewerage and electrical connection deposits, boundary wall on irregularly shaped plots, basement, swimming pool, or imported designer items beyond the premium tier. These are quoted separately during the consultation.
Let's walk through a realistic example. You own a 10 Marla plot in Bahria Town Lahore Sector C and want a complete-with-finishing build:
The range accommodates real-world variables: a slightly larger covered area if your plot allows it, higher-grade finishing in the master bedroom and kitchen, and natural variance in cement and steel prices over the 10–12 month build duration. For a society like Bahria Town with strict approval standards, you would also factor in drawing approval and society NOC charges separately.
The calculator uses Pillarstone Developers' verified 2026 rates of PKR 600 (labour only), PKR 2,500 (grey structure with material), PKR 4,250 (with finishing) and PKR 4,800 (premium finishing) per sq ft. These are the same rates we quote on actual WhatsApp enquiries. The range allows ±5–10% for real-world variables like material market fluctuation, plot orientation and drawing complexity.
In Lahore and most Punjab societies, 1 Marla = 225 sq ft. This is the standard used by LDA, DHA, Bahria Town and Park View City. Some older areas use the historical 272 sq ft per Marla, confirm with your society documents.
No. The calculator estimates only construction cost, structural, brickwork and finishing. Land cost, plot transfer, society NOC and approval fees are quoted separately.
Construction is not a single fixed number. Material prices change, drawings vary in complexity, foundation type depends on soil, and finishing grade affects the final cost. A range gives you the realistic floor and ceiling. The exact BOQ is shared on WhatsApp once we know your specific plot and preferences.
The rates apply to Lahore and most of Punjab. Islamabad rates run roughly 10–15% higher due to material logistics; Karachi rates vary widely by area. For exact quotes outside Lahore, contact us on WhatsApp.
Yes. We build at these exact rates across Lahore, DHA, Bahria Town, Park View City, Lake City, LDA societies and all others. The mid-estimate is what most clients pay; the low end applies to straightforward designs and the high end to complex layouts or premium upgrades.
Plot size, finishing grade and timeline drive the cost. Pillarstone Developers walks you through all three before quoting. Free WhatsApp consultation for your construction project.
