Construction company in DHA Islamabad-Rawalpindi
DHA Islamabad and DHA Rawalpindi are a single authority — DHAI-R — with 6 phases straddling the Islamabad-Rawalpindi boundary.
What we do in Islamabad-Rawalpindi
DHA Islamabad and DHA Rawalpindi are not two separate authorities — they are one entity, DHAI-R, with 6 phases that physically straddle the Islamabad-Rawalpindi boundary (Phase 2 in particular spans both cities). Every phase has its own topography character: Phase 2 has variable elevation that often requires retaining walls before the foundation pad, while Phase 5 has the toughest soil-testing requirements of any DHAI-R phase. The northern climate adds a layer of complexity — concrete curing schedules adjust seasonally, and our crews factor in winter pauses. 2026 grey-structure rates run from PKR 2,500/sqft to PKR 3,700/sqft, the highest of any DHA city due to labour and logistics costs.

Variable topography — retaining wall design is a near-constant requirement.
