Brick Rate in Pakistan 2026: City-Wise Prices, Quality Grades & Buying Guide
Bricks are one of the most important building materials used in residential and commercial construction across Pakistan. Whether you're building a 5 marla home, a commercial plaza, a boundary wall, or undertaking renovation work, understanding current brick prices and selecting the right quality can make a significant difference to your construction budget.
Brick rates in Pakistan vary throughout the year due to fuel prices, transportation costs, seasonal demand, and regional supply. While choosing cheaper bricks may seem like an easy way to reduce expenses, poor-quality bricks can lead to structural issues, increased maintenance costs, and reduced building durability. 🧱 Estimate Your Construction Material Costs
Before purchasing bricks, cement, steel or other construction materials, use our Free Construction Cost Calculators → to estimate material quantities and plan your construction budget more accurately.
This guide explains the latest estimated brick rates in Pakistan, compares different quality grades, highlights city-wise pricing factors, and provides practical buying advice to help homeowners, contractors, and builders make informed purchasing decisions.
"Quality bricks may cost slightly more today, but they can save substantial repair and maintenance costs over the life of a building."
Why Brick Quality Matters
Many homeowners focus only on price, but brick quality directly influences structural performance. Poor-quality bricks can absorb excessive moisture, crack under load, and reduce the overall strength of walls.
- Improved structural stability
- Better resistance to weather conditions
- Lower maintenance costs
- Longer building lifespan
- Improved finishing quality
Estimated Brick Rates in Pakistan (2026)
The following table shows estimated market ranges. Actual prices may vary depending on region, supplier, and transportation costs.
| Brick Grade | Typical Price (PKR per Brick) | Common Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Grade | 15 - 18 | Temporary structures and boundary walls |
| Standard A Grade | 18 - 22 | Residential construction |
| Premium A+ Grade | 22 - 25+ | High-quality residential and commercial projects |
Brick Price Trend by Quality
Economy Grade PKR 15–18
Standard A Grade PKR 18–22
Premium A+ Grade PKR 22–25+
How to Identify High-Quality Bricks
1. Color and Appearance
Good-quality bricks typically have a uniform deep red color and consistent shape.
2. Sound Test
When two quality bricks are struck together, they produce a clear metallic ringing sound.
3. Water Absorption
Excessive water absorption often indicates lower-quality bricks. Quality bricks should absorb limited moisture.
4. Strength Test
A good brick should not easily break when dropped from a moderate height. Builder Tip: Always inspect several samples before placing a large order. Small quality differences can become expensive problems later.
City-Wise Factors Affecting Brick Rates
Brick prices can vary between major cities due to transportation and fuel costs.
- Lahore – Strong supply network and competitive pricing
- Islamabad & Rawalpindi – Higher transportation costs can increase rates
- Karachi – Demand fluctuations may impact pricing
- Faisalabad – Industrial demand influences local markets
- Multan – Seasonal construction activity affects rates
Example: Bricks Required for a 5-Marla House
The exact quantity depends on design and covered area, but a typical 5-marla double-story house may require approximately:
| House Type | Estimated Bricks Required |
|---|---|
| 5 Marla Single Story | 35,000 – 45,000 Bricks |
| 5 Marla Double Story | 55,000 – 70,000 Bricks |
If premium bricks cost PKR 24 each and 60,000 bricks are required: 60,000 × PKR 24 = PKR 1,440,000
This example demonstrates why selecting the correct brick quality and supplier is important for budget planning.

Delivery Areas & Charges
Plain and simple — here is exactly how delivery works at Khokhar Traders.
Where we deliver: Locally within about 10–15 km of Jhelum city centre — Jhelum City, Civil Lines, Bilal Town, Kala Gujran, Haji Aima, Kotla Aima, Katchery, Mohamdi Chowk, Chishtian Mohallah, Madina Town, CITI Housing, and many more areas around Jhelum city centre. A little further out? We may still be able to deliver with extra charges — just ask.
Delivery charges: Agreed at the time of order. Share your location with our team and we calculate the exact distance, then confirm a fair delivery charge before anything is loaded. Prefer to save on transport? You are welcome to arrange your own transport.
Ex-shop rates vs delivered rates: Shop materials — cement, iron rebars (sariya), chips, tile bonds, paints, hardware — are priced at ex-shop rates: either we deliver at the agreed charge, or you arrange your own transport. Loose materials — sand, aggregate (crush), soil and gassu for foundation filling, and bricks on a full trolley — usually come with delivery included.
Full-truck cement delivery: We can deliver a full truck of 350–500 cement bags straight to your site (if a bigger truck can safely reach it). A small loader carries only 25–35 bags per trip — one full truck saves you many loader runs and real money on local transport.
Rates change daily: A rate confirmed over the phone is valid for that time of day only. A rate is locked with an official order and advance payment — we confirm the final rate and delivery charge together before dispatch.
