These figures are computed, not copied: a 3 marla double storey of about 1,100 sq ft covered area, priced line by line from Rawalpindi 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 17,000–22,000 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 35,200 bricks, 462 bags of cement and 2,475 kg of sariya, from the same thumb rules Pakistani estimators use on site. Grey structure takes about 59% of the complete budget at standard finishes; premium finishing flips that split.
Building rules matter as much as rates. Under BAHRIA RWP rules for a 3 marla plot, you can cover up to about 1,620 sq ft across 3 storeys, with a basement permitted. 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.
