Living abroad should not mean compromising on construction standards, accepting unauthorized material substitutions, or guessing your project's status from thousands of miles away. Through the DKA Overseas Home Program, Danial Khan & Associates acts as your on-ground architectural representative and turnkey builder in Lahore, for families in the UK, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Australia.
“I’m not in Pakistan — how do I know my home is being built right?”
That question is the reason the program exists. Every batch of concrete, steel bar, brickwork, tile and fixture is documented, verified against an itemized BOQ, and signed off before installation. You have eyes on your build every single week, and the same person you speak to at the first call, Danial Khan, signs off the handover.

Cost to build a house in Pakistan
Construction in Lahore is priced per square foot of covered area. Our cost guides work through it in rupees for 5 marla, 10 marla and 1 kanal houses using published market benchmarks, and the project estimator gives a floor-by-floor range. Your own project is quoted individually, against an itemized BOQ, before work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Through the DKA Overseas Home Program, overseas Pakistanis in the UK, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Australia can design and build turnkey custom homes in Lahore without being on site, with Zoom design consultations, weekly 4K video walkthroughs, itemized BOQs, remote material sign-offs and stage-by-stage milestone billing.
A video log and photo walkthrough every Friday, a dedicated WhatsApp group with Danial Khan and the site team, and live site CCTV access where feasible.
Brands and grades are specified in an itemized BOQ before work starts. During the build, materials are approved by HD video call or by a physical sample sent by courier, and nothing is installed without sign-off.
Billing is stage by stage and tied to verified physical milestones, so you pay for construction progress that has been documented.
The keys are handed to you or to your family in Pakistan, with the house cleaned, detailed and ready to move into.
