Grey Structure Cost Calculator — 2026 Rates for 5 & 10 Marla
The grey structure is everything from foundation to slab: bricks, cement, sand, crush, steel, plumbing lines and labour — before paint, tiles and fittings. Rates move every quarter with steel and cement pricing, so this calculator uses current 2026 market rates with your actual dimensions, not last year's averages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in grey structure cost?
Foundation, columns, beams, slab, brick walls, plaster, roofing waterproofing, underground/overhead tanks and basic plumbing and electrical chalking — everything up to a water-tight, plastered shell. Finishing (paint, tiles, wood, fittings) is separate.
How much does a 5 marla house grey structure cost in 2026?
At 2026 rates, expect PKR 45–55 lac for a 5 marla (about 1,350 sq ft covered) single-storey grey structure, depending on city, steel rates and material quality. Labour-only (labour contract) versions run roughly PKR 900–1,100 per sq ft.
Is it cheaper to build on a labour contract or with materials supplied?
A labour contract (thekedari) shifts material-buying risk to you — usually 10–15% cheaper if you can buy materials at wholesale rates and supervise daily. Full-contract builds cost more but cap your risk. Use the calculator to price materials yourself and compare.
