Free DHA Quote 2026
Get a clear, no-obligation construction assessment. We check your specific DHA sector against our 2026 material costs to prepare a reliable budget for Grey Structure and Turnkey work.
What goes into an honest assessment
A common problem in Pakistani construction is the artificially low introductory estimate. Some contractors submit very low bids just to win the excavation contract, then raise costs mid-project, downgrade steel grades, and stall work. At Construction Company DHA, we keep our costing transparent so you can plan with confidence.
When we issue a 2026 quotation, it is grounded in real quantities. We calculate the physical volumes of Class-A bricks, DG/Maple Leaf cement, and 60-Grade Amreli/Mughal steel bars required to build from the ground up. If you commission a Grey Structure, your quote sets clear boundaries: work spanning from foundation excavation to the casting of the final roof slab only. Nothing is charged beyond the documented structural scope.
Our setup is suited to mid-to-large homes. To meet our DHA safety standards, we work from a baseline of 5 Marla (25×45 ft) and do not take on plots smaller than this. Our architecture and structural engineering covers 5M, 7M, 8M, 10M, 1 Kanal, and 2 Kanal plots. Whether you are building on Lahore's standard ground or Islamabad's rocky terrain with retaining walls, your budget is worked out accurately.

- 1
Geographic & Volumetric Intake
We initiate contact by logging your explicit 2026 reality. We mandate your exact plot dimension (e.g., 2 Kanal 100×90 ft) and the specific city zone. Rates fluctuate hyper-locally: Lahore commands PKR 2,200-3,200/sqft for a standard grid, while Multan's flat terrain allows PKR 1,900-2,900/sqft estimations.

Bylaw integration
We apply DHA regulatory rules straight away. If you submit a 10 Marla property, we deduct the required F10, S3, R3 structural setbacks and limit ground coverage to the 60% allowable over a G+2 elevation restriction, returning the exact buildable sqft.

Subterranean & Aquatic Variables
Next, we assess complex custom additions. Do you require a basement? All documented plots allow a single-storey basement strictly capped between 9-10ft interior heights. Do you desire a swimming pool? Pools are physically regulated and licensed solely for 1 Kanal and larger estates.

Architectural definition & timeline
We factor in the formal approval requirements. Before Grey Structure work begins, we quote the time needed to produce 2D/3D CAD files and pass them through official DHA engineering scrutiny, which typically concludes within around 20 days.

The formal BOQ
Finally, we supply a detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ). It itemises every cost for the Grey Structure and, if requested, breaks down the fittings needed to take the concrete shell to a finished Turnkey home.
Sample BOQ: 10 Marla Grey Structure (2026)
To show how we work, below is a detailed sample Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for a standard 10 Marla (35×65 ft) property in the 2026 market. This assumes roughly 4,200 sqft of total covered area across a G+2 setup (60% ground limitation), following F10, S3, R3 setbacks. It stops at the roof slab. Turnkey is excluded.
| Execution Phase | 2026 Material Specifications & Structural Details |
|---|---|
| Site Mobilization & Deep Excavation | Mechanical Excavation: Deployment of heavy hydraulic excavators to rip the earth for DPC foundations. If constructing a single-storey 9-10ft basement, immense diesel machinery extracts hundreds of tons of soil to meet foundational stability requirements. Termite Protocol: Before pouring concrete, the raw trench soil is thoroughly treated with certified anti-termite chemicals, protecting the Grey Structure's base against subterranean insects for the long term. |
| Foundation Base & RCC Work | Lean Concrete Base (1:4:8): The initial structural layer is poured to create a completely flat, level geometric plane over the rough soil. Steel Skeleton (60-Grade): We deploy extreme tonnages of pure 60-Grade deformed steel bars (sourced exclusively from Amreli, Mughal, or equal tier). Rigorous lattice networks are formed for the footings, boundary columns, and structural beams to combat seismic shear forces. Portland Cement (1:2:4 / 1:1.5:3): Heavy pours utilizing ultra-premium DG or Maple Leaf absolute fresh batches. The crush stone incorporated is exclusively Margalla aggregate (not cheap local stone), ensuring massive angular interlocking strength during the 14-21 day water curing phase. |
| Superstructure & Masonry | Awwal Class-A Bricks: All boundary and internal partition walls are erected using strictly 1st-class red bricks. These blocks possess a high metallic ringing sound upon impact and display zero tolerance for white efflorescence salt deposits. Minimum wall thickness limits are enforced according to DHA bearing load matrices. Mortar Mixing: Clean, washed river sand (specifically Chenab/Ravi depending on proximity) is utilized to strip away silt, guaranteeing absolute binding strength for the masonry up to the second floor. |
| Concealed MEP Layouts | Hidden Plumbing (UPVC/PPRC): High-grade Popular or TurkPlast equivalent conduit pipes are embedded deeply into the walls before plastering. This handles all water intake grids and heavy sewage drainage routing out to the DHA municipal lines. Electrical Conduiting: Secure, fire-retardant PVC fan boxes, switchboard enclosures, and heavy wiring pipelines are surgically chased into the Class-A brickwork and roof slabs. Note: The actual wiring cables and light fixtures belong to the Turnkey phase and are omitted here. |
| Roof Casing & Plaster Sealing | Roof Slab Casting: The upper ceiling of the Grey Structure scope. A full RCC lintel and roof slab mix is poured. Thermal insulation and hot-bitumen waterproofing are applied across the roof to keep rainwater out of the top floor. Interior/Exterior Plastering: The raw brick skeleton is covered with a protective layer of rough interior and exterior cement plaster to shield the brickwork from the elements until finishing is applied. The Grey phase ends here. |
Securing quotes from anywhere in the world
A large share of our enquiries come from overseas Pakistanis. Managing a construction site from the US, UK, or Gulf takes trust and clear reporting. Construction Company DHA runs a tracking and accounting process built for exactly this.
Overseas clients can email our architectural desk and receive prompt layout confirmations. If you own a 1 Kanal plot in DHA Lahore, send the plot details and we will prepare a remote estimate that accounts for 2026 cost trends.
We also map local PKR costs back to major international currencies so there are no surprises mid-build. We share progress photos and video showing the depth of your foundation and verify the DG Cement used on-site, giving you a clear view of your investment across time zones.
Why Our Quotes Hold Value
- Guaranteed Grade Verification
Every quote explicitly commands 60-grade deformed Amreli or Mughal steel. We never secretly slip into 40-grade commercial tier metals to pad margins.
- Bylaw alignment
Quotes stay within the rules. A 5 Marla is held to its 65% covered limit. This keeps DHA map approval on track, typically within around 20 days.
- Baseline Respect
We rigidly reject any tasks below the 5 Marla (25x45ft) scale to ensure our heavy engineering machinery can maneuver safely without jeopardizing neighboring structural walls.
Estimation & Quotes FAQ
Are the 2026 quote prices completely fixed or estimate ranges?
Prior to seeing an exact plot topography, rates like Lahore's PKR 2,200 to 3,200 per sqft serve as highly accurate brackets. Once our engineers scan the final approved architectural CAD limits, a definitive, mathematically locked-in final quote is issued.
Do you provide Turnkey estimates alongside the Grey Structure scope?
Yes. Our 2026 estimation tools let us prepare both the Grey Structure costs and the Turnkey additions at the same time, across any size from 5 Marla up to 2 Kanal plots.
Can I request a construction quote for a 3 Marla setup?
No. We maintain an absolute ban on 3 Marla commitments. Our logistical frameworks, heavy hydraulic machines, and extreme safety measures are engineered at a strict baseline spanning from 5 Marla (25x45 ft) and infinitely upwards.
Does the cost estimation handle the specific 20-day DHA drawing approvals?
Yes, generating the maps and physically tracking them through the DHA registry system to achieve full architectural approval specifically within 20 days is a heavily coordinated service factor detailed clearly in our pre-construction phase ledgers.
Will the quote include the pricing for a pool on an 8 Marla layout?
Never. A legally compliant estimate will immediately strip out the pool request. As per unyielding DHA bylaws, custom swimming pools are legally licensed and authorized solely on estates sized at 1 Kanal or massive 2 Kanal capacities to prevent water displacement hazards.
