No — DHA Lahore has its own approval system, separate from LDA. All construction in DHA Phase 6 goes through the DHA Building Department directly.

Typically 70% coverage on ground floor (depends on plot size + road). Front setback: 15-25 feet, sides + back: 5-10 feet minimum. Setbacks count toward the 30% uncovered area requirement. Larger plots (2 kanal+) sometimes have stricter setback rules.

Both options are viable. Grey structure (~40% of full cost) lets you control finishing material selection and spread payments. Turnkey (move-in ready) is simpler — one contractor handles everything. For DHA Phase 6's premium character, turnkey ensures consistent quality, but grey + custom finishing gives more personalization. Read full comparison.
