But when you are calculating the cost of all this, let’s not forget that to get everything done, the laborers are required. This is the reason you must know how much fee they will charge for each service.

Labor Cost

Keep in mind that laborers charge per sq. ft. So, to build the 1 Kanal house, the rate of labor is going to be 395 PKR per sq. ft. Now that you know the double story house covers an area of 5,950 sq. ft, the grand total is going to be around 2,350,250 PKR.

Bricks, Crush, Rori & Sand

Before getting to know about the price, it is essential to get how much material is needed to build the house.

Firstly, you must know the number of bricks needed to build a house, which will be around 135,000 bricks. The price of good quality brick in Pakistan is 11 PKR. So, the total amount you have to pay here is going to be 1,485,000 PKR.

Sand and gravel are two important elements to build a strong foundation of the house. As 1 Kanal house is huge, so you will surely need 2,100 cubic feet of Chenab sand and 5,250 cubic feet of Ravi sand. The Chenab sand is a bit more expensive than the Ravi Sand.

The rate of Chenab sand in the market is 37 PKR per cubic feet, so the grand total is going to be 77,700 PKR. On the other hand, the Ravi sand is available in the market at the rate of 21 PKR per cubic feet. It means you will have to pay 110,250 PKR for the entire lot.

Sariya is another essential material, and at least 9 tons of 60-grade rebar is needed for the one Kanal house available in the market at 105/kg that makes the grand total of 945,000 PKR.

Plumbing & Electrical Wiring

It doesn't matter what size of house you are building; whether it is a 5 Marla house or bigger than that, plumbing is the key part of it. In case the layout of the plumbing system isn't right, or the materials used in the process are not excellent, the entire house will fall apart within no time. In other words, a good plumbing system keeps the house running and in shape for a very long time. So, compromising on quality is something no one should think about.

Furthermore, the expert must do proper wiring because one spark or wrong move can burn down the entire property or even cause trouble for others nearby. The total amount to get this task done by an expert is going to be 200,000 PKR.

Painting & Ceiling

Once the light fixtures, tiles, and everything else are installed, it is time to focus on painting and ceilings. Also, it is a sign that the house is about to be completed.
