aoa,
Double story one Kanal house would require nearly 9 ton steel for 5000 square foot covered area. As a rule of thumb 1.8 Kg per square foot of covered area that includes the steel for roof slabs, door/window lintels, pergolas, and kitchen and bath room slabs.
Saeed Steel is Rs. 73,000/ per ton. Model, mughal and others are also in the same bracket. It would be interesting to note that 3.4 foot of number 4 (full in size ... half inch) steel weighs 1 Kg. Typically for slabs, steel is fixed in the form of 9 * 11 inch grid. This information may help you estimate your steel requirement.
Nadeem Sahib is right .... 25,000 bricks are enough for 8 foot high boundary wall, please keep in mind this estimate does not cover the foundation of boundary wall, also the brick is not under-size. Try to select a good brick with dimension (3 inch * 4.5 inch * 9 inch) dimensions.
