Construction Cost Estimator and Free Planning Tools

Rates based on published 2026 market benchmarks for Lahore: grey structure and complete construction rates from Highland Constructions and HA Design Studio, and architect/design fees from AQsons. Interior and project management costs vary too widely by material and scope to estimate here — we'll quote those once we see your selections.

Final project cost depends on approved drawings, specifications, material selections, site conditions, and project requirements. Send us your selections above and we'll follow up with real numbers.

Uses the marla standard selected above. DHA, Bahria Town and most planned Lahore societies count a marla as 225 sq ft (1 kanal = 4,500 sq ft); the traditional marla in older areas and land records is 272.25 sq ft (1 kanal = 5,445 sq ft). Check your allotment letter for a specific plot.

For anyone who only has raw plot measurements (from a site plan or a naksha) rather than the Marla/Kanal size. Uses the marla standard selected above (225 sq ft in DHA, Bahria Town and most Lahore societies; 272.25 sq ft in older areas).

This calculates using the rate you enter — it is not a quotation from Danial Khan & Associates. We do not publish fixed rates because cost depends on structural design, specifications, site conditions, and finish level. Contact us for an accurate, project-specific quotation.

The reverse of the cost estimator — tells you roughly how much covered area your budget stretches to, at the rate you enter. Useful for deciding your plan before you reach out. Contact us for guidance matched to your actual budget.

General industry approximations for grey structure (cement ≈ 0.40 bags/sq ft, steel ≈ 3.2 kg/sq ft, bricks ≈ 24/sq ft), compiled from published Pakistani construction cost guides — not project-specific figures. Actual quantities depend on structural design, foundation depth, and soil conditions; always confirm the exact bill of quantities with your structural engineer.

Calculated from standard Pakistani brick size (9×4.5×3 in) with a ½ in mortar joint, at a 1:6 cement-sand ratio (≈1.3 bags cement per m³ of brickwork) — a transparent, general engineering estimate, not a Danial Khan & Associates figure. Doesn't include foundation, plaster, coping, or gates.

Tip: a quick way to estimate wall area is room perimeter × wall height, minus roughly 15–20 sq ft per door or window. Based on a practical coverage rate of 120 sq ft per liter per coat on textured walls (theoretical tin coverage is usually higher). Actual coverage varies by paint brand, wall texture, and application method.

Based on 150 liters per person per day — a realistic average for an urban Pakistani household with regular bathing, cooking, and flushing — times your backup days, plus a 20% buffer for evaporation and cleaning losses. Adjust upward for gardens, extra bathrooms, or guests.

Uses Pakistan's average of 4.5 peak sun hours per day and an 80% system-loss allowance (inverter, wiring, dust, temperature). A general planning estimate only — actual system design depends on roof space and orientation, shading, backup/battery needs, and your real load profile.
