2025 House Construction Cost Breakdown (Islamabad & Rawalpindi)
Construction costs in Islamabad and Rawalpindi can vary depending on the size, design, quality of materials, and location. Here’s a general breakdown for 2025:
The cost of house construction varies depending on the level of finishing. A standard grey structure, which includes the basic framework such as walls, structure, and plaster, costs around PKR 3,000 to 3,500 per square foot. Standard finishing, covering elements like paint, tiles, woodwork, ceilings, and fixtures, adds another PKR 2,500 to 3,000 per square foot. This brings the total turnkey construction cost to approximately PKR 5,500 to 6,500 per square foot. However, opting for premium or luxury finishes can increase the overall cost to PKR 7,000 to 10,000 per square foot.
What Affects Construction Costs in 2025?
1. Location & Plot Conditions
Construction in CDA sectors (F-6, F-7, G-11, etc.) is more expensive than outskirts like Bhara Kahu or Rawat due to accessibility and bylaws.
2. Labor & Material Prices
Prices for cement, steel, bricks, and labor continue to rise post-2024 due to inflation and import regulations.
3. Design Complexity
A simple 5-marla house will cost significantly less than a multi-story 1-kanal luxury villa.
4. Approval & Documentation
Legal approvals from CDA, RDA, or other authorities add both time and costs to your project.
