Construction Cost in Lahore: Rates Per Sq Ft by Package
Four scopes, from labour-only to premium turnkey. Charged slab to slab, with open areas free. Rates as of September 29, 2026, and your final figure comes after a free site visit.
How Our Pricing Works
Most people asking about construction cost in Lahore want one number, and one number is rarely honest. A house that is only a shell costs very differently from one handed over with tiles laid, doors hung and taps fitted. So we price by scope. You pick how much of the job you want us to take on, and the rate follows from that.
There are four scopes on our rate card. Each is priced per square foot of construction, and each list below says exactly what that rate covers, so you can compare it with any other quote you receive on the same terms.

Which Scope Fits Your Project
Labour only
Suits owners who want to buy their own materials and only need a team to build and supervise. You keep control of every purchase, and you also carry the buying and the price risk on it.
Grey structure
The shell of the house, ready for finishing. Many owners stop here first, then finish in stages as budget allows. Our own specification is set out on the grey structure page.
Standard turnkey
The full house, finished and handed over, using standard tiling, basic woodwork, paint and sanitary fixtures. Our house construction service follows this route, from foundation to move-in, and our turnkey design and build service adds the drawings and approvals in front of it.
Premium turnkey
For owners who want imported or high-end tiles, a designed kitchen, premium bathroom fittings and finishes made to order. The upper end of this range is open, because bespoke work has no fixed ceiling.
Reading a Per Sq Ft Rate
A rate per square foot only becomes a budget once it is multiplied by the area you are building, and we measure that slab to slab. Only the covered, built area counts. Open space on your plot, such as a lawn or an uncovered courtyard, is not charged. As a simple illustration, 2,000 sq ft of construction at the grey structure range of PKR 2,500 to 3,000 works out to roughly PKR 50 to 60 lakh. The same area at the standard turnkey range of PKR 4,000 to 5,500 lands between PKR 80 lakh and 1.1 crore. Your own numbers will differ with your design.
Several things move the final figure: the complexity of your drawings and elevation, the condition and access of the plot, the finishes you choose inside a scope, and the rules of your society. Approvals, gate timings and delivery hours differ across Lahore, and each society has its own page on our areas we serve hub.
None of this needs to be guessed at. Book a free site visit and we will price your actual house, in writing, within 24 hours, with the figure held for 30 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does construction cost per sq ft in Lahore?
With us, it depends on the scope. As of September 29, 2026, labour-only work is PKR 750 to 900 per sq ft, grey structure is PKR 2,500 to 3,000, standard turnkey is PKR 4,000 to 5,500, and premium turnkey is PKR 6,000 to 7,000 or more. The exact figure is confirmed after a free site visit.
How is the area measured, and is open space charged?
We charge slab to slab, meaning only the built, covered area. Open areas such as a lawn, an uncovered courtyard or open ground are not charged, so the rate applies only to the space that is actually under a slab.
What is the difference between grey structure and turnkey?
Grey structure is the building shell: foundation, RCC frame, masonry, roof slabs, plaster and conduit placement. Turnkey includes all of that and then finishes the house with tiling, woodwork, paint and sanitary fixtures, so you receive it ready to live in.
Does the rate include materials?
Labour-only is the exception: you buy the materials and we supervise and execute the work. The grey structure and turnkey rates cover the scope listed for each package.
Is the rate the final price I will pay?
The rate is a starting point. After a free site visit we send a fixed, itemized quote within 24 hours, based on your plot and drawings, and the price stays locked for 30 days.
Why is standard turnkey a range and not one number?
Finish choices move the total. Tile size and brand, the amount of woodwork and the sanitary fixtures you pick can all shift the cost inside the range, so we agree those choices with you before the quote is issued.
