i have budget to buy a 10M plot within the range of 20/25 Lacs in BT-C and build a double story house (covered area appro. 2300 sqf). On the other hand i love to have a small grassy lawn in my house which is possible only on a 1K plot. My question is should i go for 10M double story house or 1K single story house, keeping in view that i have three kids and each needs a separate bed-room? and is it possible to build a 1K single story house with in the same budget?

want opinion/advise of you brothers and specially from brother AG.

will some update the price of 10 Merla plot in Bahria sector C it was 13 to 15 year ago what is recent price

In a limited budget, its better to go for a best located plot of 10 marla instead of bigger place at compromised location. Currently, decent 10 marla at Bahria Town is about 20-25 lac

@Aman.

Aman Bhai Javed has given you the best option.
Let me tell you my planning.
I too have 3 children. Instead of building a big house on 1 or 2 Kanal plot I have bought 3 nos. 8 marla conrner plots in Ali block of BT Lahore & build my house on one of them which is a bit bigger than 8 marla (32.5x60 ft. or 8.67 marla)& facing the park. It has 4 bedrooms, 6 bath rooms, 2 family rooms, DD & servant room & fitted with 7 Split Units.

Reasons for my decision are.

1. BT has well developed & well maintained ample green areas/parks which are not more than a stones throw from any plot of the town where our children/family can spend time in safe & beautiful environment. So, though it is good to have our own lawn, the green areas/parks compensate for the absence of our own big lawn.
2. All the A/C units in the house will not run at the same time. The purpose is to use the one where we sit down pass the time.
3. Small & compact houses are easy to maintain.
4. Last & perhapes the most important is to ensure the independance of each child. They will be living in their own units but in the same block. This eliminates a number of social problems. Later on, if they can afford, they can build bigger houses of their choise.

So go for a 10 marla good location plot in Secttor "C".

May Allah (SWT) bless you & your family with a nice, beatiful & comfortable house.

Regards.

Dear AG How You are managing no construction charges imposed by Bahria, is there any way to avoid or defer that?

AG replied on Saturday, September 10, 2011 07:25 PM 

@aman.

I respect & love CMY from the core of my HEART. I always pray to Allah (SWT) for his good health.

@Safwan. Thanks for your kind words.

@Jameel.

I took possession of my all 3 plots in December 2009. House on one of them is already completed. For the other plots I intend to sell some of my property in my home town & build the other 2 houses.
You just pray for me.

Regards.
