Grey structure typically costs between PKR 25-35 Lakh, while complete turnkey construction ranges from PKR 55-80 Lakh depending on materials and finishing quality. Use our 5 Marla Cost Calculator for a detailed estimate.
What is the difference between grey structure and turnkey construction?

A typical 5 Marla house takes 4-6 months for grey structure and 8-12 months for complete turnkey construction. 10 Marla and 1 Kanal houses may take 6-8 months for grey structure and 10-14 months for turnkey. Timelines depend on design complexity, weather, and material availability.

As of 2026, grey structure costs approximately PKR 2,800 – 3,600 per sq ft, while turnkey construction ranges from PKR 5,800 – 8,800+ per sq ft depending on material quality and city. Rates in Islamabad tend to be 10-15% higher than Lahore.
