Total cost is calculated as built-up area (in sqft) multiplied by the per-sqft rate for your chosen package. Built-up area includes covered space across all floors, but not open courtyards. The per-sqft rate depends on your city, package tier, and number of floors.

A Marla is a traditional land measurement unit used across Pakistan and India. In most cities, 1 Marla is approximately 225 sqft, and 1 Kanal equals 20 Marla (about 4,500 sqft). This calculator uses the standard 225 sqft conversion.

The Basic package covers a complete, move-in ready home built with economy-grade materials — structure, plumbing, electrical, doors, windows, tiles and paint are all included, just using more budget-friendly local brands than the Standard, Premium, and Luxury tiers.

Labour rates, material transport cost, and local market competition all vary by city. Karachi and Islamabad tend to have slightly higher rates due to labour demand and logistics, while smaller cities like Faisalabad or Multan are generally more economical.

This calculator gives a planning-stage estimate based on typical market rates. Actual cost can vary ±10-15% depending on soil conditions, design complexity, material price fluctuations, and site-specific factors. Always get a detailed quote from a contractor before finalising your budget.

October to March is generally ideal across most of Pakistan — dry weather supports better curing and material handling. Starting before the monsoon (June–September) helps ensure your structure and roofing are complete before heavy rains.

Yes, but it's best to finalise your package before structural work begins. Switching finishing packages mid-way (e.g., from Standard to Premium) is usually possible without major rework, since finishing work happens after the structural shell is complete.
