For a double-storey Lahore example with 3,375 sq ft covered area, Zameen's 9 September 2026 model shows PKR 96.11 lakh at PKR 2,848/sq ft. This website's transparent standard-quality model gives PKR 1.198 crore at PKR 3,551/sq ft. Treat PKR 96 lakh–1.20 crore as a comparison band for these two stated models, not a universal quotation.

Editorial status
Draft for genuine human editorial review before publication. A reviewer should recheck the dated rates, local rules, arithmetic and links. No named professional review is claimed.
Key assumptions
- 10 Marla plot using 225 sq ft per Marla: 2,250 sq ft.
- 75% planning coverage on each of two floors: 1,687.5 sq ft per floor.
- Total covered area: 3,375 sq ft; no basement.
- Website standard Lahore double-storey effective rate: PKR 3,551/sq ft.
Check the deed: at the traditional 272.25 sq ft convention, 10 Marla is 2,722.5 sq ft before setbacks. This example deliberately uses the 225 sq ft scheme convention and does not treat open plot area as covered work.
Worked calculation
The website calculator follows one auditable rule:
Estimated grey-structure cost = total covered construction area × applicable cost per square foot
Plot area = 10 × 225 = 2,250 sq ft
Covered area = 2,250 × 0.75 × 2 = 3,375 sq ft
Estimate = 3,375 × PKR 3,551 = PKR 11,984,625 (about PKR 1.198 crore)
Two checkable 2026 models
| Model | Covered area | Rate | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zameen | 3,375 sq ft | PKR 2,848/sq ft | PKR 96.11 lakh |
| GreyStructureCalc standard | 3,375 sq ft | PKR 3,551/sq ft | PKR 1.198 crore |
The same covered area makes the rate difference visible. Ask each contractor to define the exact material, service and external-work scope behind the quoted rate.
Scope behind a Lahore 10 Marla shell
For this comparison, grey structure means the agreed foundations, RCC work, staircase, roof slabs, masonry and plaster, plus only the rough electrical or plumbing work named by the bidder. Confirm whether underground and overhead tanks, parapet, waterproofing, termite treatment and boundary wall are priced.
Items to budget separately
The plot, DHA/Bahria/LDA approvals, consultant fees, utility connections, soil treatment, basement and external works can sit outside a headline rate. Complete-house finishes—from windows and doors to tiles, paint, cabinetry and fixtures—are not part of this page's arithmetic.
Questions for a 10 Marla tender
- Does 3,375 sq ft match the bidder's own floor schedule?
- Are porch, terraces, mumty and double-height voids measured consistently?
- Which structural drawings and material specifications govern the price?
- Are pumps, ready-mix delivery, testing and debris removal included?
- What event permits a rate variation?
A quoted Lahore rate needs no second multiplier
If a builder supplies a dated all-in PKR/sq ft figure for this exact Lahore project, enter it as the custom rate. Adding the website's Lahore or two-storey adjustment would count the same conditions twice.
What changes the local result
- DHA, Bahria Town, LDA or another authority may apply different approval and construction controls.
- Corner geometry, long spans, soil and basement decisions alter structural quantities.
- A 272.25 sq ft Marla would make the plot 2,722.5 sq ft before setbacks; never switch conventions silently.
Questions people ask
How much does it cost to build a 10-Marla grey structure in Lahore?
For the stated 3,375 sq ft double-storey example, the two reviewed planning models produce about PKR 96.11 lakh and PKR 1.198 crore. A contractor quotation must define the scope.
Is a 10 Marla plot always 2,250 sq ft?
No. Many schemes use 225 sq ft per Marla, while the traditional measure is 272.25 sq ft. Use the area on the plot documents.
Does the estimate include finishing?
No. Tiles, paint, doors, windows, cabinetry, sanitary and electrical fixtures are finishing items unless a quotation expressly says otherwise.
