construction of basement

Dear friends
i have one Kanal plot in bahria-4 Rawalpindi.This plot is around six feet lower than road level.I have no choice except to add basement.Recomendations/suggestions from the well wishers of the forum are requested.Please do add merits/demerits and precautions if basement is constructed.

Mian Sahib replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 01:53 AM PST 

From my personal experience, I think that if basement is properly designed, well ventilated & properly constructed with good drainage arrangement,there is no harm in going for that.Cost will of course be higher because of construction of retaining walls & waterproofing/damp proofing etc. Advantage is that you get an additional storey & still keep the building height within limits. In your case you will not have to carry out much excavation.

Architect SA replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 03:10 AM PST 

One of the important precautions while constructing a basement is water & damp proofing. In my experience, hot bituman coating with 6 mil polythene sheets will work in combination with a porous PVC or cement pipe drain at the lowest level of the retaining wall. Make sure that porous foundation drain is provided on all sides. To darin the area around retaing wall, fill area around retaing wall upto 2 feet wide with a mixture of crush/stone and sand above foundation drain.

@Jameel Malik.

1. I also own a 1 Kanal plot on road "A" of BT Rawalpindi Phase 4.
2. Most of the houses build in the vicinity of my plot have full (big) basements. This proves that building of basement is good & popular among the people.
3. Advice of our brother Architect SA is very important. So keep it in mind while building your house.
4. I am not an expert but have found many people complaining of problems to drain the water from basement due to load shedding/failure of generators.
5. I suggest that you do not build any facility in the basement which uses water for example Toilets or Kitchen etc. Use your basement as DD, Games room/Theatre, Workout (excersise), Store etc.
You can build Powder (Guest Toilet)close to the stairs leading to basement.
6. However you will have to have a standby genrator irrespective of what you build in the basement.

May Allah (SWT) bless you with a nice house.

Regards.

one Kanak house is already big enough and there is no need to construct a beasement. it is not constuction only but to manage it also. furthet if you have made you mind that all of your kids can have portion each. none of the kids ,brithers or sisters live togather and if you your self is not living with you brother sisters do not expect from kids.

Just construct an average house and spend rest of the money on education of your kuds, may Allah help and guide you better.

you are impressive

Mian Nadeem replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 10:51 PM PST 

Dear all:In Bahria mostly plots are in land filled areas.Due to this people are constructing basement. 6 feet depression is not issue in Bahria. In 70 % plots u have to dig 5 to 10 after land test report.
I recomend u not to construct basement & construct 2 story house.
Purchase plot from remaining amount for investmemt purpose.

Want to buy plot

AOA all members.

This is my first post as well property.
i want to buy a plot to build a house. i have a budget of 20-22 for plot. i visited few places like UET, Accounts, IEP society. please suggest me in which area shud i buy 10 marla plot.

i had a thought to go for IEP as i can get 1 kanal there in this budget but thats enterence is very far.

Regards

Abdullah replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 09:14 PM PST 

Dear Afzal,
Why don't u consider Punjab Govt Society-II having direct appraoch from college road. In your budget, you can have a plot at any prime
location. Tariq garden and Architect societies are just one man show type societies.

DHA phase 5 ext and DHA phase 8 ext

Salam Everyone and CMY sb

Can you and anyone can advise me on Phase ext 5 file or phase 8 file. Since phase 5 ext is so expensive like 34 lac.

What you guys recommend to go for Phase 5 ext and phase 8 ext.

regards
Abdul Islam

KN replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 09:09 PM PST 

for investment purposes, phase-9 is far better than phase-5 as you may buy two phase-9
files in price of 1 phase-5 file and u'll see that when balloting is announced for 9 then the prices will be 30+ for the same 1K file.

Plot price in Fasial Town Lahore

Dear all reader of this fourm
Slam
Any expert pls. give me average rate of 10 marla plot in B and C block of faisal town Lahore.
Pls. also mention rate of 10 marla old houses in these blocks.
I shall thankfull for the same.

Jameel replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 02:25 AM PST 

Last year I Bought a house in that area after one year search I can tell You
there are only few plots in that area one I know was in C Block near Market and demand was 60 Lac Final, The same party was also having a renovated house on next plot they were asking 80 Lac for that, Initially they wanted to sell both in 1.5 Cror, so later price was reduced on Bargain.
Another single story house to be demolished [total Malba] was in C Block facing park, But this park is not well maintained you can consider it negative Point as there is no safety or privacy I will Consider it a very bad
location as all the days Boys were Playing Cricket park was not maintained. This house was available in 62 Lac Final. I calculated demolition Cost. People told that Kabari come and buy all malba from you in 50 to 60K and demolish themselves.
On Other Locations people had been asking for Plot 7 Lac per Merla But i did not pay attention to that.
In between I saw about 12 houses ranging from 75 to 95, Mostly houses were 15 ys old and Thekedar Built, You could live after some renovation but structures were weak and mostly has leveled with road.
But Fortunately I encountered an owner Built and well maintained double story 4 bed house on very good location , the elevation was not preppy. I Could Finalize in only 72 Lac.
Now Price should have increased only 4 to 5 Lac as compared to last year.
If you show a bit of patience you can easily hunt a good house in 75 to 80 Lac. where as plot will be available in minimum 65 t0 60 Lac. I am sure you will like to have a well built building in Just adding 10 to 15 Lac to plot price.

Mahmood replied on Friday, September 23, 2011 01:09 PM PST 

Dear Mr. Jameel

Pls. compare Faisal town v/s model town extention for a family living in old Lahore and want to switch in these societies/schemes.
The 10 marla house can be range bound at 60 to 70 lacs +,-.
thank u

Jameel replied on Friday, September 23, 2011 08:06 PM PST 

I think these are almost similar in rates and features etc there are good and Bad areas in Faisal Town and same is true about Model town Ext, Like B Block in in Faisal Town is a bit weak, Good Locations of C are rated best A block is also rated good, Location of all thee areas are great mainly low Price is due to bad neighborhood.
In D Block of Faisal Town the house near main Road are rated best.
So in other words slight price fluctuation is Found depending upon these features.

Habib replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 03:35 PM PST 

This is pretty harsh decision by Court, and case connected to this was not probed as there was no.
The Truth is
1.These two boys belonged to a good but a broken family and were spoiled.
2. They were involved in Gunda gardi and attempts of street Robbing. But There was no crime record. However later it was proved that they used their sims from many stolen Mobile Phones which Confirms street Robbing.
3. They had been teasing/ or involved in love in some girls of that Mohallah where they were killed. Previuosly there had been physical fights when some people forbid them to come to Mohalla.
4. That particular day they came for fighting prepared with Moser gun.
5. They fired on two boys one was killed one at spot and other later in icu. As later had Bullet in Spinal Cord Before dying he was able to give statemnt.
Both Killers were Captured and Beaten by Mob.
Later Police was called in And they were Captured by Police.
Afterwards Mob got more bigger and incited and they recapturtred these guys from police Custody and Killed them.

This killing was bascially an instant reaction of mob when they were very much inciated by The Killing of Two innocent people by these Gundas. As many were witness so no one felt piety for them.
People dont trust Police or Courts neither any body is ready to appear in Court to give testomny in Court , [It like a disease which might continue many years and might kill you]
In above circumstances Killing of these guys can be questioned on ethically but was legally wrong.
Court decides as per Law

jk replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 03:45 PM PST 

Dear Habib
ou might be right and both kids have got punishment in return if they were wrong but no one is allowed to take law in hands and decide what they want. I believe the court was well in check and must have made right decision and we should appreciate and not criticize at all.

I believe if the decision was other way around there would have been more criticizum but in any case we should appreciate the judgment and think positive

M.Tahir Dubai replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 03:52 PM PST 

@Habib. Lets believe your statement is correct. Still it indicates the negligence of Police.
"Innocent till proven guilty" is the basic rule. Police should improve their image to gain public trust. Public will not take rule in their hands once police take appropriate action.
Now they have to pay the price. Lesson for their colleagues.

Habib replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 03:56 PM PST 

I agree that Court decision was legally right, As per law if some Culprits are over powered and handed over to Police then there is no justification of Killing them.
But taking into account all circumstance Govt could have given softer decision as well only law expert can comment how soft decision Could have been given by Count, As I understand in Mob Killing no one can decide which stroke was lethal

ali11 replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 04:23 PM PST 

@ Habib

So next time you run a signal by mistake or deliberately, mob should lay you down and should beat you like hell & then that movie should be shown to your parents. is that right ? No! you deserve a legal action.

Whether boys criminals or not, court served the justice, so that no one take the law in his hand. Its a lesson for every one.

Naweed Rashid replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 04:31 PM PST 

See the truth and i my opinion the decision ia wrong, and this leads to the trend taht if this repeated no body will try to stop these type of ghundas

Khan replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 04:32 PM PST 

@ Habib

Do you have any proof about the notorious character of these boys? We did not listen from any news source that these boys were killers. Even if it is true, this was not the way to revenge.

Habib replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 08:34 PM PST 

@ Khan
Yes were many proves and these things in well known in media
Testimony of the peson who was attempted to be robbed and later FIR was filed. Person who got injured by their Bullet remained in ICU for many days intially he was concious and gave statement. The Bullet match with the Gun Captured from them.
Many people were direct eye witness.
Report of their used mobiles serial numbers which were robbed earlier was presented in court
They were using big heart shaped Number Plate for their Motor cycle.

We all are sort of developing tolerence to street Crimers no one goes to Police for few thousand robbery and does not follow the case as most think that they work in gangs and if they Follow the case their life is in Danger. One of my friend [ex young Councilor] captured street Crimer , there was an escort a bit away from the scene he fired on my friend but missed and ran away, Later he the Robber was taken to Police station. The Inspector there was well known to my friend, he advised him not to to do such thing again and nither follow the case. The Robber was realsed in few days. Later inspector told that reason of advice was that the case will continue many years and gang will try to kill you in that time.

TRUTH, KSA replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 08:55 PM PST 

Habib sahib PLEASE FEAR ALLAH AND DO NOT BECOME JUDGE, YOU DO NOT KNOW WELL ABOUT THE FAMILY. sTOP CRITCIZING COURTS LET THEM DO THEIR JOB. IF THESE WERE YOUR CHILDREN ONLY THEN YOU WILL FEEL THE PAIN. ONE OF THE BOY WAS HAFIZ QURANM AND THE FAMILY WHATEVER MONEY GOT FROM GOVT GAVE IN THE FLOOD RELIEF.IOT IS NOT A BROKEN FAMILY, FATHER WORKS IN JEDDAH AND HIS FAMILY LIVES IN PAKISTAN.

Wah Paki replied on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 10:14 PM PST 

Pakistans politicians are true representation of a common man. It is pretty obvious through this incident that we are not just vicious and cruel but ignorant on so many different levels we are pretty much a laughing stock around the world. Every day man is corrupt and the nation as a whole is pretty much f'd. Everyone claims and states facts but how many of the carore-patis here set up a fund for poor or provided a service to the ones who are unlucky. Let that alone, I don't even think many people here treat the poor with some humanity either ranging from your servants to a guy on the street riding a cheap bicycle. Tsk tsk and then they complain about justice in the society....

Rehmat Ali replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 01:50 AM PST 

I think, it is difficult to belief in reality when we are just willing to see one side. There was definitely a serious issue why the terrible incident of killing these two boys happened. Just look at our houses and see what our children do, where they go and concentrate on their upbringing. We all have moral responsibility otherwise the training comes from outside and belive me we are living in a terribly corrupt out law society with no moral attachments and values any more.

Jameel replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 01:53 AM PST 

we all are influenced by media and courts are not safe.
This is just the beginning Look at Mukhtara Mai case in 2002 6 People were sentenced to Death, and in 2010 all were acquitted my supreme Court. There is hell of difference between Death Sentence and acquittal, To bridge these extremes the high court in between fined 50000 rs to each culprit.

Mohsin replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 04:38 AM PST 

Yeah that supreme courts Judicial inquiry was run by donkeys that proved the boys innocent ? Is'nt it?

Come on just go and check the ground realities instead of believing to just the media reports and making a judgement that those boys were not innocent!

AG replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 04:49 AM PST 

My dear Brothers.

If we want to get rid of difficulties/problems facing our beloved Pakistan we will have to follow the rules/laws set by Allah (SWT) & our constitution in letter & spirit.

1. No rule of law including Islam permits extra judicial killings for any reason whatsoever.
2. Once a person, irrespective of who he is or what he has done, is in custody of the law enforcing authorities it is their basic responsibility to keep him/her safe from any danger at any cost & state is responsible to provide them means to fulfill that duty.

2. If the criminals are not sentenced properly it is not fault of the courts. Courts sentence people according to the documents put in front of them & the statements of the witnesses.

3. The most important thing is that WE ALL SHOULD REMEMBER THAT WE ALL HAVE TO BE PRESENT & ANSWER OUR ACTS TO THE LORD (ALLAH SWT)ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.

Regards.

S. replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 03:36 PM PST 

Even if the boys were guilty, no one has the right to take their lives in such a inhuman and brutal way. You can't broadbrush under the garb of "Mob mentality".
Those people were savages and therefore must be punished in the same way.

Waqar replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 03:58 PM PST 

How these street robber/ghunda operates, and how Police behaves in return. If i was among those people i will also behave same. You like it or not, but i have no sympathy for any street robber/murder or the criminals who takes people life, hard-earn money and dignity by force.

Irfan replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 08:29 PM PST 

While ALLAH knows the best and truth, I happend to visit the 2nd or 3rd day that area and I had learned (from people in area who had no direct link to family on both sides) that these two boys were robbers and had killed 1 and shot another kid (who Habeeb) indicating died in lahore.

The incident happen early morning during ramadan.

If this is true

Questions is what were these young boys doing early morning during Ramadan in other town (which was some 15 - 20 minutes) away form their home town

If there was gun from these guys which proofed the kill the other man, what were these boys doing with gun in other area?

ofcouse we need more people to confirm this was true, but think about it

and welcome your comments.

Dr. Haider replied on Thursday, September 22, 2011 09:28 PM PST 

I haven't been back to Pakistan in almost 10 years but I think I'll be fine here considering how barbaric our people have become. Doesn't matter if they were criminals or not, their treatment was wrong on every front. May Allah help the people develop some humanity.

Plot Price

I have shortlisted the 10Marla plot# H-30 in architects society near wapda-II. Dealer is asking 24 Lac for it. Please note it is actually 1 Kanal plot but society allows selling 1 Kanal plot as two 10Marla plots.

I tried confirming price other dealers but they are giving vague statements. Can you please comment how fair is demand as per market rates.

Thanks
