These figures are computed, not copied: a 5 marla double storey of about 1,975 sq ft covered area, priced line by line from Islamabad market rates — cement at Rs 1,4301,580 per bag (Bestway / DG Khan / Fauji / Cherat), Grade-60 steel at Rs 260265 per kg, and bricks at Rs 17,00022,000 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 63,200 bricks, 830 bags of cement and 4,444 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 CDA rules for a 5 marla plot, you can cover up to about 2,000 sq ft across 2 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.
