Therefore, it goes without saying that housing construction is also mainly carried out on the size of the plot.

This article shares the latest number of rates and material requirements to build a gray structure with an average of 5 horse-drawn houses. The cost of building a high-end 5 horse-drawn house has been changing for years, so this is the latest update!

Gray structure

The main items needed to build a grey structure include cement, bricks, gravel, sand, rebar, and electrical and plumbing. As the most important part of construction engineering, labor costs are one of the major expenses. The following is a breakdown of all projects and labor costs:

labor
In 2018, the ratio of labor per square foot was 250 baht, and the difference between major cities was small. Employed workers should be supervised during working hours to ensure that everything goes according to plan.

Cost = 250 x 2,125 = PKR 531,250

Bricks
The 5 Malayan house in question will require about 50,000 bricks. It is recommended to choose good quality bricks, also known as Awaal. The current market price per brick in the Awwal category is PKR 8.5.

Cost = 8.5 x 50,000 = PKR 425,000

cement
This is the main project needed for almost all construction projects. All brands of cement in the country have similar rates per bag, with only minor changes. For the unit we are talking about, about 500 bags of cement are needed.

Cost = 540 x 500 = PKR 270,000

gravel
Gravel is used as the base floor for the entire house floor. Builders and contractors like to use Margalla gravel, but Sargodha gravel can also be used. The project required about 2,000 cubic feet of gravel and its rate of 82 Pakistani rupees per cubic foot.

Cost = 82 x 2,000 = PKR 164,000

sand
The amount of sand required for the house is approximately 2000 cubic feet. For this, builders have many options to choose from. High-quality sand contains less impurities in the form of mud and the like, and its cost is about 25 rupees per cubic foot.

Cost = 25 x 2,000 = PKR 50,000

Rebar
Depending on the design, the number of rebars may vary. On average, there may be about 2.5 tons of rebar in a 5 horse-drawn house, and the price of rebar is 85,000 Cyprus pounds per ton.

Cost = 2.5 x 85,000 = PKR 212,500
