Budget of the Grey Structure of a 1 Kanal House in Pakistan
In the above figures, we tried to share each and every detail pertaining to cost of construction for a grey structure of 1 Kanal in Pakistan.
You need the following building materials to construct the foundation of the grey structure house: rebar, bricks, cement, wiring, kassu, sand and gravel. In the grey structure, apart from these building materials, the installation of the main gate, septic tank construction and plumbing and wiring are also included.
Bricks, Sand, Crush and Rori
In creating the grey structure of the building, bricks are significant. It is necessary to know the quantity of building materials used to determine the correct calculation of the grey structure of a 1 Kanal building in Pakistan. So, when constructing a 1 Kanal unit, the first thing you need to decide is the number of bricks. At a rate of PKR 11.5 per brick, about 135,000 bricks will be used to construct the base of the building. PKR 1,552,500 will be the gross costs spent on bricks.
Sand and gravel are both important elements of a house’s base. You will need about 2,100 cubic feet of Chenab sand, which would cost you PKR 73,500, for a house as large as 1 kanal. Ravi sand is much cheaper than Chenab sand and is thus used in larger amounts than Chenab sand. In 1 kanal house building, approximately 5,250 cubic feet of Ravi sand is used at a cost of PKR 20 per cubic feet. So, for Ravi sand, a sum of PKR 105,000 would be required.
The roof of the house is built using Margalla gravel. At the rate of PKR 70, about 2,200 cubic feet of Margalla gravel is used, bringing the total cost to PKR 165,000. At the rate of PKR 65, you will need 1,200 cubic feet of Sargodha crush to create the floor of the building. It will need about PKR 78,000 Sargodha gravel. In the creation of the grey structure of a 1 Kanal building, about PKR 65,000 worth of Rori is used.
Cost of Bricks, Sand, Crush and Rori = PKR 2,039,000
Cement, Kassu And Rebar
Cement helps build the house’s base.
Kassu is basically is a mixture of sand and mitti which is another significant construction material that you will need to include in your construction plan. The base of a 1 kanal house is used to construct approximately PKR 200,000 worth of Kassu. At the rate of PKR 134/kg, at least 9 tonnes or 9000 kg of 60-grade rebar is used, taking the total to PKR 1,206,000. Without using cement, no house can be built. At the rate of PKR 520, about 1,600 bags of cement will be needed. The overall cost of cement used for the building of a 1 Kanal house will therefore be PKR 832,000.
Cement helps strengthen the foundation of your house.
