Single or double storey on 6 Marla?
A 6 Marla plot (often 30 × 45 ft) is wide enough for three bedrooms on one floor, which is why many families in newer Lahore, Faisalabad and Multan schemes build it single storey. A double storey adds a separate TV lounge and two more bedrooms, or a rentable upper portion:
| Option | Covered area | Grey structure | Complete (standard) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single storey | 1,080 sq ft | PKR 3,293,460 | PKR 4,969,460 |
| Double storey | 2,160 sq ft | PKR 6,784,528 | PKR 10,026,528 |
Typical 6 Marla layouts
- Single storey: three bedrooms with attached baths, drawing room, lounge-cum-dining, kitchen and a car porch.
- Double storey: ground floor as above; first floor with two bedrooms, a TV lounge and a small kitchen if it will be rented.
The 30 ft width lets you keep the staircase at the side and still fit a full-width porch, which is hard on a 25 ft wide 5 Marla plot.

How much covered area does a 6 Marla house have?
A 6 Marla (1,350 sq ft) plot built single storey typically yields around 1,080 sq ft of covered area, based on typical Pakistani building-bylaw coverage ratios for this plot size. Covered area (not plot area) is what construction cost per square foot is actually multiplied by, which is why two houses on the same size plot can have very different total costs depending on how many storeys are built.
How much cement, steel and bricks are needed for a 6 Marla house?
For roughly 1,080 sq ft of covered area at standard quality, a 6 Marla house typically needs approximately 454 bags of cement, 3,888 kg of steel (saria), and 29,160 bricks, alongside sand and crush for concrete work. These figures use standard per-square-foot thumb-rule quantities and will shift with design complexity and quality tier — the calculator on this page breaks all of this down automatically for your exact inputs.
Should a 6 Marla house be built single storey or double storey?
A 6 Marla plot (1,350 sq ft) built single storey gives about 1,080 sq ft, which keeps foundation and steel requirements lower and construction cost more predictable. Building double storey gives about 2,160 sq ft (more bedrooms, a separate lounge, or a rentable upper portion) for about PKR 10,026,528 at standard quality — a higher total, but a lower land cost per bedroom.
