Unit Conversion Calculator — Built for Pakistani Construction
Pakistani construction mixes colonial, metric and local units on one drawing: land in marla and kanal, bricks per 1,000, cement by bag, steel by maund, concrete by cft. This unit conversion calculator translates them all so nothing gets lost between the thekedar, the supplier and your budget.
Quick Answer
In Pakistan, 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft (revenue record) or 225 sq ft (many housing societies), 1 kanal = 20 marla, 1 gaz = 9 sq ft, and 1 maund = 40 kg. Convert any of these instantly below — including length, area, volume and weight units.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many square feet is 1 marla in Pakistan?
Two standards exist: the revenue-record marla is 272.25 sq ft (30.25 sq yards), while most private housing societies use 225 sq ft (25 sq yards). Always confirm which marla your society or registry uses before buying.
How many marla are in 1 kanal?
1 kanal = 20 marla. In square feet that is 5,445 sq ft (revenue record) or 4,500 sq ft (society marla). A kanal is also 605 square yards in the revenue system.
What is a gaz in Pakistan?
1 gaz = 1 square yard = 9 sq ft. Plots are still widely quoted in gaz — a “5 marla plot” in a society is often “125 gaz” (125 × 9 = 1,125 sq ft at 225 sq ft per marla).
How many kg are in a maund?
1 maund = 40 kg. Steel and some bulk materials are still quoted per maund on Pakistani sites, so divide kg by 40 to compare maund quotes with per-ton rates.
