Estimate the cost of building a house in Lahore from its covered area: enter the area in square feet together with your grey-structure and finishing rates per square foot to get an instant, plain-numbers breakdown of grey-structure cost, finishing cost and the total.
Construction cost estimator
Work out the approximate cost of constructing a house in Lahore: the covered area multiplied by the grey-structure rate, plus the covered area multiplied by the finishing rate. Adjust either rate to match the quotes you receive.
This is a rough estimate only; actual rates vary by contractor, materials and design. Always get written quotes before committing.
Construction cost FAQs
What is the current grey-structure rate trend in Lahore?
Grey-structure rates in Lahore move with the prices of bricks, cement, steel and labour, and have generally been rising. The calculator defaults to PKR 3,200 per sq ft as a starting point — confirm the current rate with two or three contractors and update the field before relying on the estimate.
What affects the finishing cost?
Finishing cost depends on the quality of flooring, tiles, paint, doors, windows, kitchen and bathroom fittings, electrical and plumbing fixtures, and the design details you choose. Premium finishes can push the finishing rate well above the PKR 4,500 per sq ft default.
Does the area mean covered area?
Yes. Enter the total covered (built-up) area of the house in square feet — all floors combined — not the plot size. Mumty, porch and boundary walls are usually quoted separately, so check what your contractor includes in their per-square-foot rate.
