Jameel replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 02:02 AM PST 

I guess the price of Plot on 150 road Near Canal is about 22, 23 Lac [including development charges] and bit away from Canal like IKM you may find in 19 lac. But these pries vary a lot depending upon availability.

Habib replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 02:34 PM PST 

I am afraid the
prices are bit higher than Mr Jameel Mentioned Now You can Get 100 Feet Road Plots in 17 to 20 Lac But 150 Feet Road Plots will be 5 Lac More, in Other words 23 to 25 Lac

DHA 7 or Parkview DHA8

Dear All,

Please suggest me, which is the best option?
DHA 7 or Parkview DHA8?

I have a budget of 6Mio.

AS replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 10:32 PM PST 

thx MJM Dammam. I was talking about 10M in parkview and 1 Kanal in DHA7.

Advise replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 01:06 AM PST 

If 10M then go to DHA-6 A Block, it is better than parkview.

MJ replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 04:12 AM PST 

10M best option in this budget is Phase-5.
A new DHA best phase.
Regards,
MJ

Javed replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 12:24 PM PST 

There are about 150 plots of 10 marla in DHA phase-8 (ex Parkview) thats why the price tag is 55-60 lac while you can get one kanal good
location in G-black @ about 70-75 lac. Just compare the price difference !!!!!

AN OPENION replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 02:12 PM PST 

The shifted EX-PARKVIEW plots in phase 7 has great potential.

They have just kicked-out work. Probably it will get a million in next 02 quarters.

Consider for solid investment.

RZ replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 02:20 PM PST 

Save some more- 2-3 million and buy a possession plot be it in Phase 6 or Parkview. Parkview is livable as of today and appears to be undervalued. How many times in 50 years airports are built Parkview is just opposite airport and have all amenities plus check the quality of roads and service lanes...the first thing you see when you land at lahore airport and come out of it is Parkview.

JUJ replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 05:33 PM PST 

In this budget: 10M Phase 5 L-block is best. After conection to ring raod from in front of Sui Gas, it will be the best and closest place from Ring road in defence. It is also undervalued.

Habib replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 07:12 PM PST 

If it is For Investment Only and You will sell at leater stage
Then NFC 2 is best and Traget should be 5 to 6 ys
LDA avenue One has Issues and You will Have To Lookaafter Your plot for Occupation etc Target is 3,4 ys

There are certain Sovieties with On graond Plots and Good For Bothe Investent and Home Making
Like IEP 20 to 25 Lac range
Lake View 25 to 32 Range
Fazaia 22 to 27 range
AWT 16 to 18 range

People say for pure buying and selling 5 Merla Plot are Better as these can Be sold without CVT and Stamp etc

Harris Khan replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 12:16 AM PST 

M.waqas saab,

M waqas replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 01:53 AM PST 

In F block 120 feet road price range 57 to 63lacs depending on
location and availabilty of plot also F and C block dividing 100 feet road good option future commercial point of view because this road connect with EME society through D block 100 feet road ALSO F,D,C block round about 150 by 100 feet junction good option.

How can CDA initiate development work of G-14 .... they don't have budget to pay salaries of their employees ... what to talk about any development work.

ZK replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 02:44 AM PST 

this will surely affect the
prices of g-14 itself , g-13 and g-15.

Mr abc salaries for all the govt employees is calculated in the budget in the begning of new year , so dont wory about this , these are just moo ke batein. :)

Waseem Malik replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 08:06 PM PST 

I think its a good news for all. lets hope we see real development soon.

jk replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 09:35 PM PST 

G-14 has nothing to do with CDA
it is allotted to Federal Housing and they have their own BOG to deal and get G/14-1,2 and 3 sub sectors developed. CDA has no clue and ability to development in hand sectors. D-12 is prime example of their ability of development where as E-12 is example of their monopoly.
I-14, I-15 and I-16 are other examples.

I wish one day some one gets up and FIX each and every employee of CDA. I call CDA the mother of corruption and each and every ruler used it like...

DIY construction question

in Lahore, i have a room in my house measuring 15x20 feet, with 9" walls, on this room-roof i want to build a temporary store, 7x20, starting from one corner of the below room.

2: store will have 9" walls and ceiling will be of prefabricated cement beams and shelves, commonly available in the market.

3: the below room has a concrete/steel ceiling

4: three walls of the store will be on the below rooms-wall, but the 3rd-wall, the 20-feet long wall will be in the center of the room-roof.
Question: is it ok to build like this ? if not what can be done ?

please suggest

regards

cHIEF gUEST replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 03:15 PM PST 

Go ahead, Inshallah no problem.

ZK replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 03:35 PM PST 

use a water proof hard board type material to make that specific 20 feet long wall.

ksa replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 05:14 PM PST 

Use steel grill with glass as your fourth wall it will give you light and also no issue with the weight.Otherwise use a beam to construct the fourth wall

Concerned replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 05:16 PM PST 

Not at all recommended. First build a beam under the roof of constructed room then start construction of store.

kk replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 07:00 PM PST 

put a beam from wall to wall over the roof(rest on walls) and then start construction of brickwork

Ali2 replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 03:43 PM PST 

yes please put a beam first.

Buying a Plot

I am going to buy a plot in Phase 8,S block.Need some advice,That is it a good decision? I have a bugdet around 68 lacs.Is it good to buy a Installment Plot or other full payment plot.Thanks

RZ replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 02:27 PM PST 

Dear Karam please make a rule, buy always an onground possession plot or a house, however small it may be. People have ruined their wealth having invested in non possession plots and
files, plus the very feeling that you have no control over your money is devastating too, waiting for decisions of societies is atrocious, so save some more, park your money in a deposit or buy gold for an year then buy a possession plot in phase 6 or parkview (80 lacs plus) or may be a small house in a developing phase of DHA

Naveed replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 03:07 PM PST 

In my opinion, you should go-ahead and buy in S Block.
Value and
location to advise by LRE.

This is on ground Plot. Ready for possession in two years with significant increased value.

Javed replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 05:34 PM PST 

Insead of going for one kanal non-possessioned plot, it is better to think of developed 10 marla plot at A-block phase-6 or C-extension at phase-8

Bahria Town Lahore

With regards to the earlier posts i would like to know the effect of this condition in the bt market. Some people think it will have positive effect as it looks nice that each and every home looks alike in design and also in color. I think it will have negative effect as every body wants his house unique and different from others. And also builders are left with no choice to build houses with beautiful elevations like in DHA. Please serious comments

Concerned person

Yasir replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 01:52 PM PST 

Agreed. It will have seriously negative effect and I am sure the management will be forced to revisit this decision.

AHM replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 03:14 PM PST 

Agreed. Everyone has his own choice. One should have the liberty to plan his dream house as per his requirement and design, of course, in compliance with society bye laws as far as covered area, open space, orientation of the house, ventilation requirements and minimum size of the rooms etc. Keeping all the houses look alike gives an image of govt colonies and barracks. The design of the house portrays the background, taste/choice of the family living in it. Honestly, I put my plan of building house on an owned plot in BT at halt due to this reason.

I am living in RC, KSA where majority of houses are same design in terms of window shape/size, exterior finishing/color/material but all are having different floor plan but each house is designed as a corner house having minimum two sides open, they look fine. Case in Pak societies is different, we are having a series of plots in one line with fixed size, the idea may not be a successful one.

SI replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 03:23 PM PST 

Everyone has right to like or dislike but for me it will have great positive effect. One can see following areas with identical elevations, looks great.
- Safari Villas in Lahore & Islamabad
- Bahria Homes in Islamabad
- Defence Villas in DHA-1 F Sector Islamabad
- Meadows in Bahria Islamabad
- Emaar Islamabad on main Islamabad Highway
- Commercial Areas on both side of Bahria Express in Bahria 7 & 8
- Commercial Areas by DHA on Bahria Express Islamabad

I do remember one person changed his elevation just because his neighbour house top level was 2 ft. higher due to some difference in groubd level, everyone tries to defeat his neighborhood.

ZNS replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 06:33 PM PST 

It will have negative impact for sure, it's your piece of land and you would like to build your way keeping society by laws in mind, height requirements, coverage and other things are in bylaw to ensure good look of society. In past due to same policy my cousine not bought plot in Bahria, instead he build two houses in I-8.

Mr.Kashif Riaz

According to the law I am obligated to pay taxes only to the country I am resided at and to one country (not to 2)and I am paying taxes over there which include “income tax, Property tax, Car tax, GST etc. Its not a big deal paying $125/- but it burns my blood that what we are getting back from this country and its against the principal that I have to pay property tax for 5Marla house where as I was told it is examted from property tax. I know eventualy I have to pay but wondering why?
What we all those who live out of pakistan are doing for the country is sending money and with no export our reserve stands at 14B US Dollar and we have saved pakistan not once but many time going bank crupt so is it not enough or more over if some one buy his principal house in back home his blood should be sucked. Sorry if I am over reacting on this subject.

Ahmed replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 12:13 PM PST 

As you are staying outside the country I think you are exempt of this tax, but you have to remind this to the tax department yourself.

MAS replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 06:10 PM PST 

Dear Latif as per post #60822 your issue has to do with whether your house which is 82sqft extra can qualify for exemption availed by other 5 marla houses or not. Strictly according to the law it does not, but you should try filing an application with the relevant authorities after finding a logical basis for your argument. Your logical basis can be that the plot was intended to be designed as 5 marla by the cantonement board. Try locating owners of other houses which exceed 5 marla by small margin. If you can show that others in your position are getting exemption then it will be impossible for the cantonement board to reject your application.

There is no such law that you are obligated to pay taxes only to the country of your residence. Tax is paid in the country of PURCHASE i.e. whereever you consume/purchase goods and services OR in the country of INCOME i.e. whereever your income is generated.

MAS replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 11:45 PM PST 

Correction: I later noticed that as per your last post your house is extra by 1/4 marla not by 82sqft. Sorry.

If you are not satisfied with their decision on your application you probably will have the choice of going to the office of Ombudsman with your complaint. They will decide your case for free. Don't blame the country. In any country you will have to pursue your case through proper channels if the situation is not clear cut.

aoa
i have completed the 10 marla structure of my house with the covered area of 4500 sq feet in Islamabad

i want the advice in the following areas.

1. whether to use marble or sonex tiles? pros and cons? if marble which one and whats the price. i have heard that parlino is reasonable.

2. there are 22 doors in the house. tell me weather to buy 107 sq feet(estimate given by a carpenter) wood from whole sale market or order the ready made doors? can we bring the wood from hawalian timber market to Islamabad without any litigation?

3. whats the option in aluminum windows and glass?

4. any pros and cons of chakwal stone? is that recommended?

5. best interior and exterior paint options?

6. kindly quote the labour charges of the above services in Islamabad.

Jazakallah

ZK replied on Sunday, September 9, 2012 03:28 PM PST 

go for master tiles(long lasting and excellent quality) or good quality marbel. sonex tiles will fade after 5-6 years ,while the life of tiles by master is upto 25 years.

use aluminiun windows as they are good and air tight. once closed they stop rain water during storm or air in winters.

jk replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 12:05 AM PST 

good quality Diar will cost you & RS 2400/SQFT no need to bring from Hawaliya. For paint use ICL Dulex . remember fixing marble or Tiles and for use of timber a good squad of workforce is very important and you check and get recommendation and person from the supplier. Generally they have good persons in
contact.

jk replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 10:59 AM PST 

correction Diar Price is Rs. 2400/cubic ft

Kashif Ali replied on Monday, September 10, 2012 09:44 PM PST 

1)
I have don’t have any experience of sonex, with recommendations of friends, I have installed Master tiles in all washrooms and very much satisfied with the quality of tiles. If you will visit Murree Road (Rawalpindi) and find Master tile dealer, they will show you huge variety of master tiles. You can select according to your taste.
Also, we used the same sanitary fittings of masters (you can check the warranty of fittings from the dealer) I believe some are for lifetime and some are for 3 years. It’s all depends on you which quality of sanitary fittings you would like to install.
2)
We have installed tiles in two kitchens, and rest of complete house, we installed the marble and very much satisfied with the decision. There is lots of marble dealer in I-10 industrial area, which them and select the marble.
3)
ICI dulux is best. For exterior use ICL weather shield.
Please note that for tile and marble fixer, try to find the best person in your area, check his work before hiring, if you will get excellent worker to fix tiles and marbles, he will make job excellent even with average material. Don’t hire any cheap worker. I have seen in my neighbour just because of 5 Rs difference of labour, the worker did very poor work, so it’s very important to select best worker for tiles and marbles if you want excellent finishing.
Same request for painter, my plaster was just average, and later I selected the best painter in our area, and he has done perfect job and hide all minor issues of plaster. He really worked hard and removed all minor defects.
I got a chance to visit both Farooq, and Shakeel near Faizabad, both have good variety but I found farooq is very much expensive. He is not dealing with master tiles but most of the Chinese made tiles. Looks great in display but not sure about warranty.

Marble or Tile both are equally good and depend on your choice. price wise also there is not much of difference. Marble will give you homely look while Tiles are used in commercial but these days equal in homes as well.

Parlino Marble will cost you around RS. 70 to 90/sqft. and it will cost you RS 20/sqft for fixing.

Aluminium will cost you around 400/ sq ft including every thing 2mm thick powder coated aluminium with 6mm colour glass.

Good quality Diar wood is available with Fuji Timber Store on West service road G-11 Cell No.

All quality sanitary fitting are available at Shakeel or Farooq sanitary wear Faizabad oposit survey of Pakistan. Where as some cheaper quality items are available from Gulam Nabi and sons Committee Chowk tel No.5541488 and

Khaprail are available for NLC precast on Chack Shazad road.

For electric cable use Pakistan Cables Best of Luck
