Construction of a house in bahria town, lahore

I live in united kingdom. I am planning to build a 10 marla house in bahria town, lahore in the near future.

Can anyone tell me what is important while planning to build a house.

Please also suggest a reliable contractor. Thanks

Ask these questions before buying a home. Choose your home wisely it’s once in a lifetime investment (10 Marla home)

Q: Was your home designed as per engineering standards?

BIN KHALID HOMES

  1. Properly designed RCC roofs are laid using steel shuttering.

  2. 4 to 4.5 tons of steel is used at minimum

  3. Waterproofing of roof with standard insulation precautions are taken to insure zero or minimum seepage.

ORDINARY HOMES

  1. Mostly brick roofs (RB) are laid

  2. 1.5 to 2.5 tons of steel is used at maximum

  3. No waterproofing and no insulation. Which causes heavy seepage as a result walls are damp and paint starts layoff even before completion of home.

Q: Was Damp Proofing Course (DPC) properly done?

BIN KHALID HOME

  1. Double DPC is provided and vertical DPC on exterior wall is also provided

  2. Bitumen is applied in pure form either using brush or spray

  3. Polythene Sheets are laid upon bitumen to further damp proof.

ORDINARY HOMES

  1. Only Single DPC is provided and there is no vertical DPC on exterior walls

  2. Bitumen is applied by mixing kerosene oil, which kills its nature and renders it useless in waterproofing.

  3. No Polythene sheets.

Q: Were your roofs designed on engineering standards?

BIN KHALID HOME

  1. Width of a home foundation designed as per engineering standards varies from 30 to 72 inches normally

  2. A properly designed foundation requires 25000 to 35000 First class bricks

  3. RCC columns are provided where needed to avoid crushing of walls.

ORDINARY HOME

  1. A layman constructs home by keeping foundation width same for all walls i.e. 18 inches, 22 inches or 27 inches no matter what the load is. Which is major reason for structural failures i.e. Settlement and crushing of walls, Major cracking of roof or collapse of building as a whole.

  2. A layman uses only 8000 to 10000 bricks in foundations to save money. Forget about the quality of bricks used!

  3. There is no such concept of columns. Hence their walls are crushed with time.

We at bin Khalid build theme based houses using the finest materials and designed by in house highly qualified Architects, Civil engineers and Designers.

We document each step of the construction of each Bin Khalid Home for the benefit of our customer.

A client can view all stages of the construction of his Bin Khalid Home with the help of onsite photographs and videos beginning from the quality of the bricks and masonry till the finishing of the Bin Khalid Home.

It is commonplace in the market to sell a house and then vanish from the scene leaving the buyer to his own devices.

In sharp contrast we have a group of very happy customers who have bought our houses.

We are proud to provide life long after sales service to our clients.

A recent instance of customer satisfaction which might assist you in understanding the kind of quality construction work we are delivering for our customers with the help of the following example:

A very satisfied customer of ours, a doctor by profession and currently employed in Saudi Arabia, bought a 10 marla house from us 6 months ago. Based on his pleasant experience of living in a Bin Khalid Home he has requested us to build another 1 Kanal bin Khalid home in Bahria Town, Lahore.

Please watch the following short video clip which might give you an idea how the interior of our completed houses look.

This video clip will also give you a glimpse into the different phases of construction as documented by us beginning with the digging of foundations till the finishing of the house.
