These figures are computed, not copied: a 10 marla double storey of about 3,150 sq ft covered area, priced line by line from Karachi market rates — cement at Rs 1,430–1,580 per bag (Bestway / DG Khan / Fauji / Cherat), Grade-60 steel at Rs 260–265 per kg, and bricks at Rs 16,500–21,000 per thousand (freight-adjusted estimate). Every rate carries a verification date; the newest in this estimate is 2026-07-02.
The quantities behind the money: roughly 1,00,800 bricks, 1,323 bags of cement and 12,600 kg of sariya, from the same thumb rules Pakistani estimators use on site. Grey structure takes about 63% of the complete budget at standard finishes; premium finishing flips that split.
Building rules matter as much as rates. Under OTHER rules for a 10 marla plot, you can cover up to about 3,150 sq ft across 2 storeys. Confirm final bylaws with your society office — societies revise them.
Prices move. Rather than trusting a static page, open this exact configuration in the estimator: change the city, materials tier, storeys or paint, and watch the itemized cost and schedule recompute on today's rates.
