Only renowned builders with large inventories are earning good. Ak do ghar banane wala wese he regra jata hai agar ghar jald na sell ho

Your question is quite vague and open... there are dozens of factors that play in this business.. Few important are as;

1. Experience & Skill in the field
2. Capital available to start with
3. Marketing Tools available to sell out the product
4. Market Conditions

Generally the profit margin varies from area to area.
Location of the plot plays and important factor as well as the design and materials incl finishes that is to be smartly used in the given locality..

Its thought that nowadays that 10 marla product in a nice liveable locality can give upto somewhere between 20-25 lacs (in a span of less than one year) but given the factors above also count...the capital must be 1.25 crore for that

If you are willing to buy plot, build a house and sell for profit in Lahore then first select a location that will bring you maximum return. In lahore profit varies in terms of location, assuming DHA, Bahria, and posh societies minimum you are looking at 2 lacs per marla in 5 marla house as profit. 10 marla and up 2.5 lac profit per marla; these assumptions are made based on my personal experience in Bahria town lahore and means reflect standard profit. Secondly, if you are overseas and considering starting construction buisness in lahore, you have to invest huge amount of time yourself in construction such as keeping cost of material, labor and most important time efficiency to gain handsome profit. If you are not able to manage construction yourself and hiring a contractor/buildrer/dealer then Do not go in construction buisness.
Simply, if you can't give time in construction buy plots and sell with profit on future!

The construction business in Lahore can yield significant profits, with house flipping often targeting 10-30% returns, or around PKR 2 lac per marla in good areas. For expert guidance and a transparent, quality-focused approach, consider RSM Home and Developers.

While Lahore's build-and-sell construction offers good but variable returns, The M Square provides expertly managed projects with vetted contractors to optimize your profits.

Building and selling homes in Lahore can yield 10-30% profit on your total investment, with location and construction quality being key to maximizing returns, especially in prime areas like DHA where a 5 Marla house might net PKR 2-2.5 lacs per Marla profit.
