Complete grey structure cost breakdown for 2026. Elegant Properties rates: Rs. 3,400–3,600 per sqft for A-grade construction. These are the most transparent, BOQ-verified rates in Lahore.
| Plot Size | Plot Area (sqft) | Covered Area | Our Rate/sqft | Total Grey Structure Cost | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Marla | 1,125 sqft | ~1,100–1,300 sqft | Rs. 3,400–3,600 | Rs. 37–47 Lakh | 3–4 months |
| 8 Marla | 1,800 sqft | ~1,600–1,900 sqft | Rs. 3,400–3,600 | Rs. 54–68 Lakh | 3.5–4.5 months |
| 10 Marla | 2,250 sqft | ~2,400–2,800 sqft | Rs. 3,400–3,600 | Rs. 82 L – 1 Crore | 4–5 months |
| 1 Kanal | 4,500 sqft | ~4,000–5,200 sqft | Rs. 3,400–3,600 | Rs. 1.36–1.87 Crore | 5–7 months |
| 2 Kanal | 9,000 sqft | ~7,500–9,500 sqft | Rs. 3,400–3,600 | Rs. 2.55–3.42 Crore | 7–10 months |

How to read this table: Covered area is the actual built area not the plot size. A 10 Marla double-storey house has ~2,400–2,800 sqft covered area. Grey structure cost = covered area × rate per sqft. Basement adds 15–25% to total cost. Call 0321-4813092 for your exact BOQ.

Cost Breakdown
What Goes Into Your Grey Structure Cost? Component Breakdown
Understanding how grey structure cost is distributed helps you verify your contractor's BOQ and avoid overcharging. Here is how Rs. 3,400/sqft breaks down at Elegant Properties:
Why Our Rate is Rs. 3,400–3,600 Not Rs. 2,650
Many contractors advertise Rs. 2,650–2,800/sqft but use B-grade or C-grade materials local bajri instead of Margalla crush, thana eent instead of awwal kiln bricks, and thin sarya below Grade 60. These shortcuts fail within 5–10 years.
At Rs. 3,400–3,600/sqft, Elegant Properties uses:
Grade 60 Deformed Steel Bars
ASTM/BS standard high-yield sarya not the cheap locally rolled low-grade bars that bend under stress.
Branded Cement Pakcem/Lucky/Bestway
Premium OPC 43/53 grade cement never loose or unbranded bags that compromise concrete strength.
Awwal Class A Kiln Bricks
First-class fully fired kiln bricks not under-fired or rejected bricks that absorb water and crack.
Margalla Crush (Not Local Bajri)
Premium Margalla quarry crush for concrete local bajri produces weak concrete that fails structural testing.
Rate Comparison
Construction Rate Comparison Lahore 2026 Market Guide
Understanding the Lahore construction market rate tiers helps you make an informed decision. Not all rates are equal the difference between Rs. 2,650 and Rs. 3,400/sqft is the difference between B-grade and A-grade materials.
| Tier | Grey Structure Rate | Material Grade | Typical Companies | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | Rs. 2,200–2,650/sqft | C-grade / Unverified | Small local contractors | High |
| Standard | Rs. 2,650–3,000/sqft | B-grade | Mid-tier contractors | Moderate |
| Premium (Elegant) | Rs. 3,400–3,600/sqft | A-grade Verified | Elegant Properties | Low |
| High-End | Rs. 3,600–5,000/sqft | A+ Premium | Large corporate firms | Low |
| Luxury | Rs. 5,000–8,000/sqft | Import/Premium | Boutique luxury firms | Very Low |
The Hidden Cost of Cheap Construction: A 5 Marla house built at Rs. 2,650/sqft with B-grade materials will need Rs. 8–15 Lakh in repairs within 5 years cracks, water seepage, spalling concrete. The Rs. 750/sqft "savings" of cheap construction costs far more in long-term repairs and renovation.

Turnkey construction (Rs. 5,500–8,500/sqft) is a complete ready-to-move-in house grey structure plus internal plaster, flooring, tiling, doors, windows, electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures, kitchen, paint, and all fittings. Grey structure suits owners who want to do finishing at their own pace or budget. Turnkey suits owners who want a complete house delivered on a fixed date.
What does grey structure construction include and exclude?
Grey structure INCLUDES: excavation, PCC bedding, RCC foundation, DPC (damp proof course), all brickwork (ground and first floor), RCC columns and beams, roof slab casting, staircase RCC structure, embedded electrical conduit and plumbing lines, boundary wall, and gate frame.

Do you provide construction services in Bahria Town Lahore?
Yes. Elegant Properties provides complete grey structure and turnkey construction services across all Bahria Town Lahore phases Phase 1 through Phase 8, Bahria Orchard Phase 1–4, and Bahria Nasheman. Our team is experienced with Bahria Town's specific building bylaws, setback requirements, and approval process. Grey structure rates in Bahria Town: Rs. 3,300–3,500/sqft. Call 0321-4813092 for your Bahria Town construction quote.
What materials do you use in grey structure construction?
Elegant Properties uses exclusively A-grade materials: Grade 60 deformed steel bars (ASTM standard high-yield sarya not low-grade locally rolled bars), branded OPC cement (Pakcem, Lucky, or Bestway no loose or unbranded bags), Class A fully fired kiln bricks (awwal eent no under-fired or rejected bricks), Margalla quarry crush (not local bajri), clean fine sand (badarpur), and quality aggregate. All materials are verified at site before placement and can be tested at client request.
Why is your rate Rs. 3,400/sqft when others offer Rs. 2,650/sqft?
The Rs. 750/sqft difference between our Rs. 3,400 rate and a budget contractor's Rs. 2,650 rate is entirely in material quality. Budget contractors use B-grade or C-grade materials: locally rolled low-grade sarya, loose unbranded cement, under-fired bricks, and local bajri instead of Margalla crush. These shortcuts produce a house that develops cracks, water seepage, and spalling concrete within 5–10 years requiring Rs. 8–20 Lakh in repairs. Our A-grade construction is built to last 50+ years. The maths are simple: paying Rs. 750/sqft more today saves Rs. 10–20 Lakh in repairs over the next decade.
