Asa friends,
I am about to start construction on my plot in DHA Lahore soon inshAllah and was hoping to have some questions answered:
1) What are the best vendors of grey material (cement, brick etc) in Lahore?
2) Should I hire an engineer to over-see the project? I already have a well trusted thekedar advised to me by a friend
3) How should I form payment schedule?
4) How can I best ensure material is not stolen and proper proportions are used?
5) what are the best brands to get? e.g I have heard margalla crush is better than sargodha. Also does that mean I should only buy margalla? Ofcourse I want to build the best house I possibly can
Any other tips and tricks are most welcome also Construction replied on Monday, July 10, 2017 08:29 AM
Also rough estimate of cost of grey materials + how much should I buy at one time or how early before next phase of construction starts? How long does carriage of materials to site usually take? When should I pay for the materials? when it reaches my site or before? How to check quantity of some materials (e.g steel) when it arrives? |

Go for "Syed Brothers" as they re building houses in Lahore from last many years and quality of material is also very good. Search on Facebook to get contacts and project details. They will make proper contract with payment plans. |

All of you thank you very much for your fast responses. However as I mentioned earlier I already have a thekedar I have almost finalized deal with as he seems trust-worthy and I need labor rate. The names mentioned above are construction companies aren't they? I meant if I should hire a civil engineer alongside to over-see the construction is being done according to proper standards etc |

Farhan Shafiq bhatti J block model town Office: Yes Faisal Mirza is also good but Farhan is much cooperative and have more broad vision of different Architecture techniques another good names in this regard are Tanvir Butt & Mazhar Munir. Its very hectic job to construct a home according to your need. Construction of house is much easier than Contruction of home sweet home many things to be consider in this regard. I hope you got my point. Kindly visit all of the above or more you like & Select best according to your needs & Requirements. |
