About DHA Rahbar, Lahore
DHA Rahbar is the name commonly used for DHA Lahore’s Phase 11, also called Halloki Gardens, located along Defence Road. It is divided into sectors and offers DHA planning and security at a lower entry price than the older DHA phases.
Because DHA Rahbar is under DHA Lahore, house plans follow DHA bylaws, which are stricter than most private societies on setbacks, heights and documentation. A design that ignores them gets returned, costing weeks.
Building rules and approval status change over time. ACCO checks the current rules and the plot’s documents before the first sketch.
What Matters When Building in DHA Rahbar
1. Design to DHA bylaws from the start
DHA sets covered area, setbacks, height, basement and boundary wall limits by plot size. ACCO’s architects work to the current DHA rules so drawings pass review the first time.
2. Structural drawings by registered engineers
DHA requires structural drawings signed by registered engineers. ACCO prepares these in-house.
3. Sector development
Infrastructure in DHA Rahbar has developed sector by sector. We confirm road levels, sewer connections and possession status for your sector before setting plinth levels.
4. 5 Marla planning
DHA Rahbar has many 5 Marla plots. We design them with a light well or skylight over the stair so the middle of the house is not dark.

Map Approval in DHA Rahbar
Plans in DHA Rahbar are submitted to DHA Lahore’s building control with architectural and structural drawings. DHA inspects at set stages and issues a completion certificate after the final inspection.
ACCO prepares the full submission set, follows up on objections and keeps the site drawings matched to the approved plan, so the completion certificate is not held up later. Before design starts, confirm plot possession, cleared dues, exact block and measured site dimensions.
