Building in Marghzar Officers Colony
Marghzar Officers Colony in Lahore is an established colony with larger plots and older bungalows, many of them in the family for years. The question owners ask is rarely whether to build, but how much of the old house to keep. We take on rebuilds, extensions and grey structure in Marghzar Officers Colony, with a free visit to assess what you have.
Keep a Record of the Old House
Photograph the house and keep any old drawings before work begins. They help with decisions and with any dispute about what existed.
What Is Worth Keeping
An older bungalow often has good bones: thick walls, high ceilings, a generous plan. It may also have tired wiring, leaking pipes, no insulation and a layout that no longer fits how the family lives. We walk through the house and list what is sound, what needs repair and what should go, so that the choice between renovation, extension and rebuild is made on facts.
Renovating and Extending Together
Many owners do both: refresh the old part and add a new wing or an upper floor. That mixes old and new structure, and the join between them needs careful detailing so cracks do not follow. The new part must also be tied to the old foundation properly. Our home renovation service covers this kind of combined work, and the damp proof course guide explains one of the most common problems in older walls.
Heat is the other issue. Older houses were built before modern insulation, and adding roof insulation during the work can cut summer cooling costs. We price it as its own line.
Keep a Record of What Was There
Photograph the old house and keep any drawings before work starts. They help with decisions, with cost discussions and with any dispute about what existed. Larger older plots often hold several buildings, so note each.
See the renovation page for how old structures are handled, and DHA Lahore and Bankers Avenue Society for other areas. Rates are on the pricing page.
