Answers to common questions regarding construction costs, grey structure standards, timelines, and material sourcing in Lahore.
1. Inquiries, Site Visits & Project Initiation
The process begins by submitting an inquiry via our Request a Quote form or messaging us on WhatsApp (+92 322 4111923). Our civil engineers will arrange an initial discussion to understand your plot size, covered area requirements, and design preferences, followed by an on-site visit in Lahore.
No. Initial consultations and plot evaluations across Lahore (including DHA, Bahria Town, Lake City, and Gulberg) are offered completely free of charge with no obligation.
Absolutely. If you already have approved architectural and structural drawings from your architect or LDA/DHA, we perform a thorough technical drawing review and prepare an exact, itemized Bill of Quantities (BOQ) based on your specifications.
2. Grey Structure vs. Turnkey Construction
Grey Structure covers the structural skeleton: foundation excavation, termite proofing, RCC columns, beams, slabs, brick walls, roof water-proofing, plastering, and embedded plumbing/electrical piping.
Turnkey Construction includes everything in grey structure plus complete finishes: tiles, woodwork, paint, sanitary fittings, modular kitchen, electrical switchboards, false ceilings, glass railings, and light fixtures ready for move-in.
Yes! Many of our clients prefer to execute their grey structure with MMAT to take advantage of our direct material trading rates (Grade 60 steel and factory-direct cement) and then manage finishing separately or at a later date.
3. Cost Estimates & Payment Milestones
Payments are strictly tied to verified on-site milestone completion. For example: Mobilization advance → Foundation completion → Ground floor slab pour → First floor slab pour → Brickwork completion → Plaster → Finishing phases. You only release funds as tangible construction milestones are achieved and verified.
We offer both fixed-rate contracts and cost-plus contracts with locked material guarantees. Because we operate our own raw material supply network, we can pre-purchase and lock in steel and cement quantities in advance, protecting you from inflationary market spikes.
4. Project Timelines & Daily Supervision
For a 10-Marla home, grey structure is completed in approximately 3 to 4 months, and turnkey completion takes 7 to 9 months.
For a 1-Kanal villa, grey structure requires 4 to 5 months, and full turnkey handover is achieved within 9 to 11 months depending on interior complexity.
We provide a dedicated project manager who sends weekly high-resolution photo and video walkthroughs, digital milestone reports, and WhatsApp video calls from the job site during critical concrete pours and structural inspections.
