These figures are computed, not copied: a 5 marla double storey of about 1,975 sq ft covered area, priced line by line from Lahore 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 15,00019,000 per thousand. 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 LDA rules for a 5 marla plot, you can cover up to about 2,531 sq ft across 3 storeys, with a basement permitted. Confirm final bylaws with your society office — societies revise them.
