Dear visitors of this wonderful site,
I live abroad and am very much interested to have my own house built according to my need in Bahria Town Lahore. I have a 10M plot and finalised all the drawings, approvals, etc. Now it is ready to start construction.Till I reached this stage, I never thought how difficult it would be to understand the different aspects and stages of construction especially when one is away. The construction quality I want is A-Class. However, my concerns are:
What should I do to engage a contractor who can build a house for me?
Should I go for turnkey basis solution? If yes, then what is the best calculated rate?
What clauses should I care for, if come into an agreement with some contractor?
Is there any standard contract with important clauses?
Would anybody be able to help since such topics are usually not discussed on this forum.
I also have a suggestion: Shouldn't there be any weekly or perhaps daily rates on construction material since it is also very volatile like property.
Best Regards,
Amar-Kuwait

I do not agree that PACE Engg are very experience and honest group of engineers. My cousin a very bad experience with them for the construction of a small factory. They never bothered to visit the site and many measurements for machinery platforms were in accordace the our requirement and needed modifications.

I am a civil Engineer and advise you to construct your house by appointing a labour contractor. In this way, you can not only ensure the quality of construction you want but also can save a lot of money.

The rate for turnkey contract varies between Rs 1500 to Rs 2200 per sft depending on the quality of finishing.

The contract clauses relating to stages of payment, delay in completion of the contract, guarantee period for the material and workmanship, defect liability period and powers for deducting payment for bad workmanship. In case of turnkey contract, the type and specification for all the finishings should be agreed and specified in the contract to avoid any confusion.
