Building a home is a significant commitment, and it is critical to have a thorough understanding of the associated costs before beginning the process. Each stage of building, from laying the foundation to adding the finishing touches, increases the entire cost. In this article, we will break down the anticipated costs associated with building a 15 Marla house, taking into account factors such as material quality and number of stories.
To begin, it’s vital to outline the main components of this construction project:
Covered Areas: The home will have a basement, ground level, first story, and possibly a second Storey.
Quality Options: The expenses are classified into three categories: budget, A Quality, and Premium Quality.
Finishing Options: The final touches, such as flooring, paint, and fixtures, available in a variety of quality levels, which all influence the ultimate cost.
The foundation, walls, and roof make up the basic component of a house, known as the gray structure. The budget for this phase is impacted by excavation requirements, material quality, and the complexity of the structural design. A basement costs approximately PKR 3,500 per square foot due to the need for excavation and waterproofing. Furthermore, the grey structure’s above-ground levels are less expensive, costing only 2,600 PKR per square foot. Finishing costs emerge after construction begins and can vary greatly depending on the materials utilized. Premium finishes, such as imported tiles and high-end fixtures, can cost up to PKR 4,300 per square foot, although a solid A grade finish with mid-range materials and fittings is normally around PKR 3,500 per square foot.
Covered Areas:
Basement: 1265 sq ft.
Ground Floor: 2350 sq ft.
First Floor: 1895 sq ft.
Cost Breakdown
Grey Structure: This stage includes the house’s structure (base, walls, and roof). The price varies according to the quality and whether a basement is included.
Finishing: Following structural work, the finishing phase includes flooring, fittings, paint, and other elements. The quality chosen at this stage has a considerable impact on the final cost.
By breaking down the projected areas for each level, we can get a better idea of the building costs.
