Question 1

How much does house construction cost in Karachi?

Accepted Answer

It depends mostly on three things: grey structure only or turnkey with finishes, the covered area (plot size × storeys), and the finish level you choose. Material rates move through the year, so we price from your drawings and give a written per-square-foot estimate, split into grey structure and finishing, before anything is agreed.

Question 2

How much does it cost to build a 120 square yard house in Karachi?

Accepted Answer

A 120 sq yd plot is 1,080 sq ft. What you pay for is the covered area (how much of the plot each floor covers, times the number of floors) multiplied by a per-square-foot rate for the grey structure and another for finishing. Send us the plot size and storeys, or the architect's drawings, and we will give a written estimate split into those two parts.

Question 3

What is the difference between grey structure and turnkey construction?

Accepted Answer

Grey structure (گرے اسٹرکچر, the bare ڈھانچہ) is the building's shell: foundations, RCC columns, beams and slabs, block masonry, and the pipes and conduits that go inside the walls. Turnkey adds everything needed to move in: plaster and paint, flooring and tiles, doors and windows, kitchen and bathrooms, and electrical and plumbing fittings. Where the line sits varies between contractors, so ours is written into every quote.

Question 4

How long does it take to build a house in Karachi?

Accepted Answer

Anywhere from about four months to around 22 months from groundbreaking to handover. We have completed houses in four months; plot size, number of storeys, any basement and the finishes chosen decide where yours falls, and the grey structure is usually the shorter part. You get a written programme with milestones before work starts, reviewed with you every week.

Question 5

Do you build on 120, 240 and 400 sq yd plots?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of our houses are on plots from 120 to 600 sq yd — single family homes, ground-plus-two houses with separate portions, and corner plots with basements. Small plots need tighter coordination, not a different standard.

Question 6

How do I choose the best house construction company in Karachi?

Accepted Answer

Visit houses they have finished and speak to the owners; ask for a written scope that separates grey structure from finishing; check that structural drawings are approved before work starts; ask how concrete is tested and how work is inspected before it is covered; and tie payments to completed milestones, not dates. We are happy to be measured against every one of these.

Question 7

Do you renovate houses and add new floors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We renovate kitchens, bathrooms and whole floors, and add floors to existing houses, after checking that the existing columns and foundations can carry the extra load. Where a family stays at home during the work, we sequence it room by room.

Question 8

Which areas of Karachi do you work in?

Accepted Answer

Our office is in Malir, near Saudabad Chowrangi, and we work city-wide: Pak Ideal Society and the Scheme 33 societies, Model Colony, Malir Cantt, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Shah Faisal, Korangi and Landhi, Bahria Town, DHA and Clifton.

Question 9

How early should we involve you?

Accepted Answer

As early as the drawings exist — ideally before they are finished. Reviewing constructability, access and sequencing at design stage is where the real savings are found, not during construction.

Question 10

Do you work from an architect's drawings, or do you design?

Accepted Answer

Both. We build from your architect's and consultant's drawings, and we can coordinate the full design team on your behalf. Either way, nothing goes to site until the set is coordinated.

Question 11

How is the programme controlled?

Accepted Answer

A sequence with milestones is agreed before mobilisation and reviewed every week with you. Progress is reported against that baseline with photographs, not adjectives.

Question 12

How are variations handled?

Accepted Answer

In writing, priced and approved before the work is done. A variation never appears for the first time on an invoice.

Question 13

What happens after handover?

Accepted Answer

You receive as-built drawings, warranties and manuals, with a defects liability period during which we remain responsible. After that, we are still reachable — most of our work comes from clients who came back.
