Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we are most often asked by homeowners, builders, contractors, and developers across Jhelum and surrounding areas.
Building Materials
We supply bricks, cement, steel bars, sand, crush, concrete blocks, and other quality building materials for residential and commercial construction.
Yes. Whether you're building a 5 marla home or managing a large commercial project, we can supply the materials you need.
We deliver across Jhelum city and nearby areas within about 10–15 km of the city centre — charges agreed at the time of order, or arrange your own transport.
Cement rates **change daily**, so we do not publish fixed bag prices. Our core cement stock is **Cherat, Fecto and Flying Pakistan**, plus **Bestway** and **Maple Leaf White Cement**, and **Happilac tile bonds in 20kg & 40kg**. Call or WhatsApp **+92 331 5083 648** with your brand and quantity and we will confirm today's rate in minutes — a rate is locked only with an official order and advance payment. Buying a full truck (350–500 bags)? Ask for builder rates.
We stock Grade 40 and Grade 60 steel bars from Amreli, Mughal, Ittefaq, and other certified Pakistani mills. Grade 60 (60,000 PSI yield strength) is the standard choice for RCC slabs, beams, columns, and load-bearing structures. Grade 40 is suitable for non-load-bearing applications, lintels, and small residential projects. For 5-marla and 10-marla houses, we recommend Grade 60 throughout.
Construction Questions
Construction costs vary depending on plot size, design, material quality, labour costs, and market prices. Our blog contains updated construction cost guides to help you plan your budget.
Good-quality clay bricks with consistent size, high strength, and low water absorption are generally recommended for long-lasting construction.
Both are suitable depending on your project. Bricks remain the traditional choice in Pakistan, while concrete blocks can improve construction speed and thermal insulation.
Yes. We can help estimate the amount of bricks, cement, steel, sand, crush, and other materials needed for your construction project.
Delivery & Rates
It depends on the material. **Shop materials** — cement, iron rebars (sariya), chips, tile bonds, paints, hardware — are priced at **ex-shop rates**: either we deliver at an agreed charge, or you arrange your own transport. **Loose materials** — sand, aggregate (crush), soil and gassu for foundation filling, and bricks when ordered on a full trolley — normally come with **delivery included** within our regular delivery area.
Yes. We deliver **350 to 500 cement bags in one full truck** straight to your site, provided a larger truck can safely reach it. A small loader carries a maximum of **25–35 bags per load**, so one full-truck delivery saves you many loader trips and real local transport costs.
Material rates **change daily**. A rate confirmed over the phone is valid **for that time of day only**. A rate is **locked only with an official order and advance payment** — we confirm the final rate and the delivery charge together before anything is dispatched.
General
Jhelum experiences hot summers, monsoon rains, and dry winters. For exterior walls, we recommend weather-shield emulsions from Happilac Paint as it is formulated to resist UV fading, fungal growth, and water penetration. A typical exterior paint job requires 2 to 3 coats, and coverage is approximately 350 to 400 square feet per litre per coat. See our paint brands guide for a brand-by-brand comparison
