Salaam Ahsan Mahmood Sahib!
It very much depends upon covered area of an 8 Marla house. You can construct a simple/normal house with in Rs.25 Lac.
You should have Rs.15 Lac for ground floor. Until now I do not have any practile experience of construction but have done lot of research in this regard as I am going through a process of construction of my 8 Marla house in Bahria Town.
I got lot of information and guidance from brother Kashif Latif Chohan who is providing economical and practical solutions related to construction in Bahria Town as a professional contractor and builder. His contacts are as follows:

Dear Kashif Chohan sahib,
It is nice to see you actively participating in discussions at LRE. I want to ask some questions which I think will benefit many visitors of this site.
Q.1 There many people who can not construct their house in one go because of financial constraints. so people adopt different techniques for example some construct single story house with very basic finishing i.e. no fancy floors no fancy bathroom no woodwork , and then as the money comes they complete in bits and pieces. another approach some people adopt is that they complete the two stories and then complete the finishing in coming YEARS. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST FOR THE PEOPLE WITH EXTREME FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS? How they should proceed? And What is your estimate of cost for a 10 marla house with extremely basic finish ( single story or double story with one floor finishing)?

Q 2. There is general perception that It is extremely costly to get the house constructed from professional Builder than constructing oneself. Can you put some comparison between the two?


Q 3 What is your point of view about bank financing?

Although It is neither your duty nor your obligation to respond to this post but your input in this regard will be extremely appreciated.
