Assalamoallaikum
I am planning to build a house in bahria enclave islamabad on a 10 marla land which has 18feet of filling.
Everyone has advised me to go for a basement in this scenario. I would like someone here to help me out in assessing the project cost of a double unit a grade quality finished house.
Appreciate if someone has experience on managing construction on a land with filling conditions.
Thank you and jazakallah khair
You would require a raft foundation. Depending on your drawings the grey structure with raft foundation will cost you Rs.1300 to 1500 sqft.
The raft would be double caged with at least 1.5 feet in depth
There is no other option even if you go for basement same raft foundation would be required.
Basement is advisable. If you want to avoid basement then you have to fill and compact depression in 6 inch layers .you must achieve 95% compaction .this is achievable by using 18 ton vibratory roller. Be very careful while constructing on filling.Filling and compaction should be under supervision of an experienced construction professional.
If you opt for basement the house will cost @ Rs.2600/sft . With out basement cost will be Rs.2400/sft
