Construction calculator FAQs

Everything homeowners ask before they trust a calculator with multi-million-rupee decisions.

How much does it cost to build a 5 marla house in Pakistan?

With 2025 material and labor rates, a 5 marla house typically lands between PKR 9M and PKR 14M depending on city, finishing quality, and whether you include optional upgrades. Use the calculator to plug in exact square footage and finishing level for a city-specific number.

Do the estimates include both grey structure and finishing?

Yes. By default the calculator shows complete turnkey costs. You can toggle finishing off to view grey-structure-only pricing or dive into finishing quality presets (basic, standard, premium) for more granularity.

Can I estimate commercial projects?

Yes—the commercial tab highlights that a specialized experience is underway. Submit your requirements and we will share preliminary BOQs while the dedicated calculator ships.
