10 Marla House Construction Cost in Pakistan (2026)

Rates last updated: 15 October 2026Page updated: 15 October 2026By Ali Ahmad

Quick answer: a 10 Marla plot is 2,250 sq ft. A single storey complete house (about 1,688 sq ft covered, standard quality, Lahore rates) costs about PKR 7,705,156, and a double storey house (about 3,375 sq ft) costs about PKR 15,604,574. Grey structure only comes to about PKR 5,147,556 single storey or PKR 10,600,824 double storey. Most owners on this size build double storey.

How Big Is a 10 Marla Plot?

10 Marla = 2,250 sq ft (250 sq yd or gaz, about 209 m², 0.5 Kanal) under the common 225 sq ft Marla. Common plot dimensions: about 35 × 65 ft. Under the older 272.25 sq ft Marla the same plot is 2,722.5 sq ft.

A 10 Marla plot is 2,250 sq ft of land (1 Marla = 225 sq ft) — a popular size for established families who want a proper double storey home with multiple bedrooms, a separate drawing and dining area, and often a small lawn or driveway. Almost all 10 Marla houses in Pakistan are built double storey to make full use of the plot; a single storey build on this size plot is comparatively rare.

Using typical building-bylaw coverage ratios for this plot size (around 75% ground coverage, doubled across two floors), this calculator suggests approximately 3,375 sq ft of total covered area for a double storey 10 Marla house. Edit the “Covered Area” and “Number of Storeys” fields below to match your own approved drawing exactly.

Note: this guide uses 1 Marla = 225 sq ft (“Society Marla”), the most common standard across Pakistan today. Some plots use 250, 272 or 272.25 sq ft per Marla instead — if yours does, select it from the “Marla / Kanal Standard” dropdown in the calculator above (see our full guide to Pakistan’s Marla & Kanal standards for a detailed comparison). Only the plot-size-to-sq-ft conversion changes; once your covered area is set correctly, every cost figure on this page still applies.

10 Marla House Construction Cost: Grey Structure vs Complete House

Using standard 2026 Lahore market rates and 3,375 sq ft of total covered area across two storeys, here is the cost breakdown by construction type and quality tier:

Based on a 3,375 sq ft, double storey covered area in Lahore, including the small steel and labour premium double storey construction adds over single storey. Recalculate for your own city and design below.

Planning a Double Storey 10 Marla House

With around 3,375 sq ft split across two floors, a 10 Marla house typically comfortably fits 4–5 bedrooms, 3–4 bathrooms, a separate drawing and dining area on the ground floor, and a family lounge upstairs — often with a small store room or servant quarter if the design allows. The second floor does not need its own foundation or plot, but its columns, steel and scaffolding add about 3% to the structure cost, which is why the double storey figure above is slightly higher per sq ft than a single storey house — while the land cost per bedroom falls sharply. Model this precisely by entering your exact bedroom and bathroom count in the calculator above.

Ways to Save on a 10 Marla House Budget

At this size, structural decisions have an outsized effect on the final bill — an efficient, mostly-rectangular layout with fewer cantilevers and curved walls can save several percent on both steel and formwork labour compared with an architecturally complex design at the same quality tier (try switching “Design Complexity” in the calculator above to see the difference). Getting at least three itemized quotations, buying cement and steel directly, and budgeting separately for boundary wall and government approval fees — which are easy to forget on a plot this size — are covered in more detail in the full construction cost guide on our home page.
