Construction Management Software for Lahore
Calibrated for Punjab builders. Support for the strict 225 sq ft Marla standard, Ravi sand ratios, Sargodha aggregate costing, and local clay brick masonry.
The Lahore Standard: 225 Square Feet Marla
In Lahore, construction sizing revolves around the Punjab Marla standard. Unlike the old revenue standard of 272.25 square feet used in agricultural calculations, residential and commercial developers in LDA schemes, DHA Lahore, Bahria Town, and Johar Town strictly define **1 Marla as exactly 225 square feet**.
Squinchos (skwin-chos) defaults its plot size calculator to the 225 sq ft standard. Getting this detail wrong when calculating plaster areas or slab concrete leads to a major material mismatch. Our tool ensures your estimates match the LDA bylaws and Lahore standards exactly.
Lahore Material Dynamics: Ravi Sand and Sargodha Crush
Material logistics in Lahore are defined by regional sand and quarry dynamics:
- Awwal Red Bricks: Lahore and the surrounding districts of Punjab are rich in clay-burning kilns. Clay bricks (Awwal grade) are the primary structural building block. Squinchos uses a high-accuracy brick factor (13.5 bricks per cft) to estimate total brick counts for your DHA or Bahria Town villa sites, matching local masonry habits.
- Ravi River Sand: Fine sand is almost exclusively Ravi sand. Ravi sand is extremely fine-grained, making it excellent for plastering mortar but requiring careful blending with coarse sand (like Lawrencepur sand) for structural concrete casting. Our software allows you to log and track different sand grades separately.
- Sargodha Granite Crush: Stone aggregate (crush) is brought in from the Sargodha quarries. As a highly dense, grey granite crush, it is the standard for RCC beams and slabs. Squinchos helps you track Sargodha crush consumption by the dumper load.
Eliminating Inventory Leakage in Lahore Sites
Lahore's rapid real-time expansion has led to intense competition among contractors. With steel and cement prices fluctuating daily in the Badami Bagh markets, managing material purchase orders on active sites is the difference between profit and loss.
By digitizing your workflow with Squinchos, you can log expenses directly at the site, track when dumpers of Sargodha crush are delivered, and auto-update your supplier running ledger balance instantly.
