5 Marla Ghar Ka Construction Cost in Pakistan
Estimating the construction cost for a 5 Marla house in Pakistan requires analyzing the built-up area and structure specifications. A typical double-story 5 Marla house has a total built-up area of approximately 1,913 square feet (utilizing the Lahore/Punjab standard of 225 square feet per Marla).
The grey structure construction comprises foundations, brick masonry walls, RCC slabs, and plaster. For a standard A-category finish, you will require approximately 1,052 bags of OPC cement, 6,120 kg of steel reinforcement (Deformed Grade 60), 57,375 clay bricks, and 3,443 cft of sand. The aggregate (crush) required for concrete works is roughly 2,295 cft.
10 Marla House Construction Cost Calculator
A double-story 10 Marla house spans a built-up area of approximately 3,825 square feet. Using our house construction cost calculator model, the grey structure costs are distributed across bricks, sand, cement, crush, and labour.
For a 10 Marla home, clay bricks total nearly 114,750 pieces. Concrete pours for column footings, beams, and slabs consume roughly 2,104 bags of cement, and steel reinforcement requirements scale to approximately 12,240 kg. Using local Sargodha or Margalla crush ensures optimal structural load tolerance for double and triple story frames.
RCC 1:2:4 Material Calculator & Formulas
Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) mixed in a 1:2:4 ratio is the industry standard for slab, beam, and lintel casting. This nominal mix consists of 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 4 parts aggregate by volume.
When calculating dry volume, a multiplier factor of 1.54 is applied to the wet volume (`Length × Width × Thickness`) to account for shrinkage and compaction.
For example, a slab of 30x20 feet with a thickness of 6 inches equals 300 cft of wet volume. The dry volume is `300 × 1.54 = 462 cft`. With the 1:2:4 ratio sum of 7, cement makes up `1/7` of the dry volume. Dividing this by `1.25` (cft volume of one 50kg bag) gives exactly `52.8` cement bags. Sand accounts for `2/7` (132 cft), and aggregate/crush accounts for `4/7` (264 cft).
Cement Bags Per Cubic Feet (cft)
A standard 50 kg bag of cement has a dry volume of approximately 1.25 cubic feet (cft). Therefore, to convert dry cement volume in cft to bags, we divide the volume by 1.25. For mortar mixes (e.g. 1:6 masonry mortar or 1:4 plaster mortar), the cement bag consumption per cubic foot of wall volume varies depending on the dry volume conversion factor (1.33 for plaster and 0.3325 for brick masonry).
Bricks Required Per Square Feet in Pakistan
For standard clay brick construction in Pakistan, a 9-inch thick load-bearing wall consumes 13.5 bricks per cubic foot (cft). If you calculate wall requirements based on square feet (sft), a 9-inch wall has a thickness of 0.75 feet, meaning every 1 square foot of wall area requires exactly `0.75 × 13.5 = 10.125` bricks. A 4.5-inch partition wall requires half this amount, approximately 5 bricks per square foot.
