Steel for RCC and Construction Material,

(112078)
Saturday, November 11, 2017 04:07 PM 

Dear Fellows,

I have started construction of my house in DHA Phase-5, Lahore. I request LRE users to guide me on

1. Which steel is better Amerali, Afco, Mughal or any other.
2. Reliable suppliers of steel who give genuine steel and correct weight measurement.
3. Good suppliers of bricks, cement and crush.
4. Prevailing rates of A-class bricks, crush and cement.

Thanks in advance and Salam.

1,2. Afco is good but you have to go their Badami bagh office to purchase, weigh & load in front of yourself. 2nd comes Model, Amreli, Mughal which are available in the market. When buy steel, make sure shop's scale is not tampered.

2. There are lot of suppliers in the market, hardly anyone perfect. I suggest whichever you try, just don't give any money in advance, never ever !! Pay only when materials arrive at your premises, check the quality & then pay after couple of days.
4. A class bricks starts at Rs. 8000/ 1000 pcs. Rate can go upto 8500/1000 pcs. Margallah crush rate is 75.sqf, Sargodha crush rate starts at Rs. 58 & can go upto 68/sqft. Cement rate varies time to time, currently Maple Leaf is Rs. 530/bag & Lucky cement is Rs. 510/bag including delivery at sight. I construct & sell houses so above is based on personal experience.

Dear Waseem Sb.

Jazak Allah. Your inputs are well noted. I will be thankful if you can provide rates of Afco and Mughal Steel on per ton basis. Also is there any difference in graded and ungraded steel.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you will read this!

A class complete construction with finishing will cost around , actually there is no upper limit. It depends upon how much you want to spend on finishing.
I provide complete construction services, including architecture, grey & finishing.
