10 Marla House Construction Cost Lahore 2026: Grey vs Turnkey Budget

The model fixes covered area at 3,300 square feet

A 10 Marla plot is not automatically 3,300 sq.ft. of construction. Friends Home uses 3,300 sq.ft. as a transparent double-storey planning basis because Avenir identifies roughly 3,000–3,300 sq.ft. as a typical 10 Marla range. Replace it with the approved architectural area before tendering.

• Measure ground, first floor and mumty separately
• Exclude open terrace, lawn and voids unless contract measurement rules include them
• Price basement area through its own structural BOQ
• Coordinate architectural, structural, electrical and plumbing drawings

Grey structure: PKR 97.35 Lakh to 1.11 Crore

Applying the published Lahore A-grade grey range of PKR 2,950–3,350 per sq.ft. to 3,300 sq.ft. gives PKR 97.35 Lakh–1.11 Crore. A 10% planning reserve lifts the working envelope to approximately PKR 1.07–1.22 Crore. Soil, foundation, span, steel and waterproofing decisions can move the total beyond this band.

Turnkey fixed finishes: PKR 2.05 to 2.48 Crore

At PKR 6,200–7,500 per sq.ft., the 3,300 sq.ft. turnkey model produces PKR 2.05–2.48 Crore before reserve and PKR 2.25–2.72 Crore with 10% contingency. Turnkey is not a universal specification: tile, sanitary, doors, windows, kitchen, wardrobes, paint, wiring and fixtures require written brands or allowances.

Zameen's PKR 1.53 Crore is a separate benchmark

Zameen's calculator was updated on 11 August 2026 and displays PKR 1.53 Crore total at PKR 4,523 per sq.ft. It separately shows PKR 84.79 Lakh for foundation and structure, PKR 56.09 Lakh finishing material and PKR 16.71 Lakh labour. Because its selections and scope differ, FPN reports it as a comparison—not as proof that a full A-grade contract must cost that amount.

What a furnished budget must add

A fixed-finish turnkey home is not necessarily furnished. Loose beds, sofas, dining furniture, curtains, décor and appliances require their own schedule. Solar capacity, central HVAC, smart controls, generator and lift also need separate supply, installation, warranty and commissioning prices.

Costs excluded from this model

Land, basement, difficult soil treatment, architect and engineers, authority or society charges, transfer taxes, utility connections, transformer work, solar, HVAC, lift, landscaping, pool and loose furniture are outside the calculation. Keep plot purchase, government/society charges and construction as separate budgets.

BOQ and contractor document checklist

Ask at least three contractors to price the same approved drawings, structural design, BOQ and brand schedule. Compare quantities, exclusions, taxes, margin, programme, supervision and defect liability—not only the headline per-square-foot rate.

• Verify contractor identity, tax position and completed reference sites
• Attach drawings, quantities, brands and allowances to the agreement
• Define covered-area measurement and milestone certification
• State taxes, contractor margin, wastage and procurement responsibility
• Write escalation, substitution, variation and delay rules
• Retain an agreed amount until testing, snagging and handover are complete

Friends Home due-diligence note

These 2 September 2026 figures are market-planning estimates, not a contractor quotation, offer or guaranteed maximum. PBS's latest price releases show that input conditions continue to move. Obtain site-specific drawings, soil and structural advice, a measured BOQ, current society charges and independent technical, legal and tax advice before committing funds.
