Grey Structure Construction in Lahore
Grey structure is the part of a house you never see again once it is finished, and the part that decides whether the house is safe for the next 50 years. ACCO treats it as engineering work, not labour work.
| Stage | What ACCO does | Quality check |
|---|---|---|
| Excavation & foundation | Layout, excavation, PCC, footings, plinth beams, damp-proof course | Levels, steel spacing and cover checked before every pour |
| RCC frame | Columns, beams and slabs to the structural drawings | Grade 60 steel certificates, concrete cube tests, curing records |
| Masonry | First-class brickwork with proper bonding and lintels | Line, level and mortar ratio checks |
| Services rough-in | Electrical conduits, plumbing, drainage and gas lines | Pressure testing before walls are closed |
| Plaster & roof | Internal and external plaster, roof insulation and waterproofing | Water-ponding test on the roof |
Indicative 2026-27 grey structure rate in Lahore: PKR 2,800–3,500 per sq ft, depending on design, basement, steel and cement prices. Every quote comes as an itemised BOQ with material brands. See full grey structure construction rates in Lahore.
Modern House Design and Architecture
ACCO’s architects design to your plot’s bylaws from the first sketch, so the plan does not need redrawing at approval stage. Every design package includes:
- Site study: dimensions, orientation, levels and bylaw limits
- 2–3 floor plan options around your family’s needs
- 3D front elevation in modern, contemporary, classic or Spanish style
- Architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing and HVAC drawings
- Submission drawings for DHA, LDA, Bahria or the society
- Itemised BOQ before you commit
We design for Lahore’s climate: shaded west glazing, roof insulation and cross-ventilation to cut cooling bills. See our architectural design services.

How to Choose the Best Construction Company in Lahore
Searches for the “top 10 construction companies in Lahore” return many lists, but rankings rarely tell you how a company will handle your house. These checks matter more:
- Visit finished work. Ask to see houses the company has built and speak to past clients.
- Check the team. Architects and engineers should be in-house and registered with PCATP and PEC.
- Demand an itemised BOQ. A single per-sq-ft rate hides what you are actually buying.
- Link payments to stages. Avoid large advances.
- Get specifications in writing. Steel grade, cement brand, brick class, tile and fitting brands.
- Ask about supervision. Who checks steel and concrete before each pour?
- Read the warranty. Structure, waterproofing and plumbing should be covered.
ACCO meets every one of these. For a wider comparison of Lahore firms, see our guide to the best construction company in Lahore.
