Construction cost depends on finish level, structural complexity, and project type. For grey structure on residential work, current Lahore market rates run roughly PKR 3,500 to 4,500 per square foot. Turnkey construction with standard finishes runs PKR 6,000 to 9,000 per square foot. Premium finishes push higher. We provide a project-specific itemized BOQ after the first call and brief discussion. We do not give per-square-foot estimates without understanding the project.

Both, depending on the project. For fully-specified residential builds where scope is locked at sign-on, we use fixed-price lump sum so the client knows the exact final number. For larger or scope-evolving work, particularly commercial, we use cost-plus with a fixed management fee so the client sees actual costs without contractor markup on every line item. We recommend the right model after the first conversation. We do not switch models mid-project.

The BOQ itself. Every line item is priced with brand and grade specified at contract signing. Material price escalation clauses, if included, are written upfront with named caps. The contract is the binding document, not a verbal estimate. Any client-requested change is handled through a written variation order, priced separately, signed before the work happens. There are no surprise charges at the end of the project because the contract structurally does not permit them.

Twelve months defects liability period on workmanship from handover date, covering finishes, joinery, and MEP installation defects. Three years structural warranty on foundation, frame, slab, and load-bearing walls, certified by the engineering consultant. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranty separately. Warranty documentation is part of the handover package. The named senior accountable on the project handles any warranty claims directly, not a callback queue.

Weekly photo and video documentation shared every Friday. Live video calls on request. Milestone payments tied to verified site photographs, so payment release is itself a verification mechanism. Engineering consultant inspection reports at structural stages. Material delivery logs with brand and quantity confirmed. For overseas clients, we structure the engagement specifically around remote oversight and have run multiple projects this way for clients in the UK, US, and Gulf.

Yes. BloxDot prepares the approval drawing set and manages submission to the local authority, whether that is LDA, DHA, BTAP, or the relevant body for the project location. Approval costs and authority fees are billed separately at actual cost, with no markup. For complex projects requiring specialist permit consultants, we coordinate with consultants we have worked with before and bill the client directly for their fees.

The BloxDot project manager and site engineer on every project are direct. Trades, including mason, electrician, plumber, carpenter, painter, and MEP teams, are subcontracted to specialist crews we have worked with on multiple projects. This is the standard premium GC model in Pakistan and gives clients the benefit of specialist trade quality with central project management accountability.

Yes. We have construction projects across Pakistan and have worked in the Gulf. Site engineer and project manager can be mobilized to projects outside Lahore. For projects far from Lahore, we adjust the engagement structure to ensure adequate site presence and coordinate with local trade partners where useful.
