Building in Bahria Town: what to know
Bahria Town Lahore is a large gated community, laid out in sectors with residential blocks, commercial areas and its own management. Bahria Orchard, next door, is a separate project with its own blocks and rules.
Approval through Bahria Town
Bahria Town has its own building rules and approval process. Your drawings need its approval and NOC before construction starts, and coverage, height and setback rules vary by plot size. We build to your approved drawings.
Building next to active sites
Many Bahria Town plots are still being built on, so your neighbours may be mid-construction too. Clean site management and secure material storage matter more here.
Before you build in Bahria Town: a checklist
- Confirm possession and get your plot's site plan from Bahria Town
- Check the building rules for your plot size and block
- Get a soil test and appoint an architect and structural engineer
- Submit drawings and get Bahria Town's approval and NOC
- Start construction, built strictly to the approved drawings
If you already have approved drawings, bring them to the site visit and we can give you an itemized estimate straight from them.

Bahria Town counts 1 marla as 225 sq ft. Common residential plots are 5, 8 and 10 marla, 1 kanal and 2 kanal.

Covered area is not the same as plot area. It depends on how many storeys you build and on the coverage and setback rules for your plot. Your approved drawings give the exact figure, and that is the figure the rate applies to.
Construction cost in Bahria Town
Bahria Town's coverage rules decide how many square feet you can build on each plot, so the covered area on your approved drawings is the starting point. The stair tower (mumty) and roof work add to that covered area.
The total is always the covered area on your approved drawings multiplied by the rate for your scope. We give you that rate in writing, split into grey structure and finishing, after a free site visit in Bahria Town.
