House Construction by ACCO
Building a home is the biggest investment most families make. Good house construction needs a clear design, honest costing, strong structure and close site supervision, not just labour and material. ACCO – Ahmed Construction Company has been designing and building homes in Lahore since 1998, from compact 5 marla houses to 1 and 2 kanal luxury villas in DHA, Bahria Town and other societies, as well as farmhouses outside the city.
Our architects, structural engineers and site teams work together from the first sketch to handover, so the house you see in the 3D design is the house that gets built.

Modern House Design & Contemporary House Design
Modern house design in Pakistan focuses on clean lines, large windows, open family lounges and practical layouts that suit joint and nuclear families. ACCO plans each home around how your family lives: drawing-dining for guests, a private family lounge, a kitchen with proper ventilation, bedrooms with attached baths, and a servant quarter or store.
Contemporary house design adds today's details: double-height entrances, cantilevered balconies, wooden and stone cladding, concealed lighting and roof terraces. We design for Lahore's climate with deep shading, cross-ventilation and insulated roofs to keep cooling bills down.

Modern Front Elevation Design
Your front elevation is the first impression of your home and a big part of its resale value. ACCO creates modern front elevation designs in 3D before construction, so you can approve every detail:
- Modern, contemporary, Spanish and classic elevation styles
- Stone, wood-texture, tiles, ACP and fluted panels
- Glass railings, louvers, planters and feature lighting
- Designs that follow DHA and society elevation rules

House Architectural Drawings
Complete house architectural drawings are the instructions your builders follow. Missing or unclear drawings are the main cause of site mistakes and cost overruns. ACCO's drawing set includes:
| Drawing | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Floor plans | Room sizes, doors, windows, furniture layout for every floor |
| 3D front elevation | Photorealistic view of the façade with materials and colours |
| Sections & elevations | Floor heights, stairs, roof levels and all sides of the house |
| Submission drawings | Drawings for DHA, Bahria Town, LDA or society map approval |

| Electrical & plumbing | Switch and socket layouts, lighting, water supply and drainage |
| Working details | Kitchen, bathrooms, stairs, railings and ceiling details |

Residential Building Planning
Good residential building planning gets the most out of your plot while following the by-laws. Before design, we check:
- By-laws: setbacks, covered area, height, basement and parking rules of DHA, Bahria Town, LDA or your society.
- Orientation: sun path, wind and road direction for light and ventilation.
- Room programme: number of bedrooms, guest areas, family lounge, kitchen, store and servant quarter.
- Future needs: space for a lift, an extra floor or a separate portion for rent.
- Budget: an outline cost so the design matches what you plan to spend.
Structural Design & Engineering
A house should be safe for generations. ACCO's engineers carry out structural design and engineering for every home to the Building Code of Pakistan seismic provisions, so your house is designed for earthquake loads as well as everyday use:
- Soil assessment and the right foundation type for your plot
- RCC column, beam and slab design with reinforcement detailing
- Design for basements, cantilevers, double-height spaces and roof gardens
- Steel and concrete checks on site before every slab is poured

Double-Story House Construction
Double-story house construction is the standard choice in Lahore because it doubles living space on the same plot. The ground floor usually holds guest areas, the kitchen and one or two bedrooms, with private bedrooms and a lounge upstairs. Key points we plan for:
- A comfortable, well-lit staircase in the right place
- Columns and beams that line up on both floors
- Upper-floor bathrooms stacked over lower ones to simplify plumbing
- Option for a separate upper portion with its own entrance
- Roof waterproofing and insulation to keep the top floor cool
Luxury House Construction
Luxury house construction in Lahore typically costs PKR 10,000 to 15,000 per sq ft and goes far beyond standard finishes:
- Imported porcelain, marble and solid-wood flooring
- VRF air conditioning, home lifts and backup power
- Smart-home lighting, security and automation
- Basements with home cinema, gym or games room
- Swimming pools, landscaped lawns and roof gardens
- Designer kitchens, walk-in wardrobes and luxury bathrooms
Grey Structure Construction
Grey structure construction is the skeleton of your house: excavation, foundation, damp-proof course (DPC), RCC columns, beams and slabs, brickwork, roof, stairs, and concealed electrical conduits and plumbing pipes. It is the most important stage for safety, because structural mistakes cannot be hidden by finishes.
- Grade 60 steel and tested cement and concrete
- Engineer checks on steel before every pour
- Proper curing, levels and plumb on every floor
- Termite proofing and DPC to stop rising damp
Grey Structure Rate per Square Foot (2026-27)
| Package | Rate per sq ft (PKR) | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Grey structure | 2,800 – 3,500 | Excavation, foundation, DPC, RCC frame, brickwork, roof, stairs, concealed conduits and pipes |
| Finishing only (added to grey) | 3,900 – 5,300 | Plaster, flooring, woodwork, doors and windows, kitchen, bathrooms, wiring, fixtures and paint |
For a detailed breakdown, read our grey structure cost guide and grey structure contractors in DHA Lahore.
Turnkey House Construction
With turnkey house construction, ACCO builds your complete home, ready to move in. One contract covers design, approvals, grey structure, electrical and plumbing, flooring, woodwork, kitchen, bathrooms, paint, and handover. You get one point of contact, a fixed scope and weekly progress updates, which is ideal for busy professionals and overseas Pakistanis.
| Turnkey level | Rate per sq ft (PKR) | Typical finishes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard turnkey | 6,700 – 8,800 | A-grade local tiles, ash-wood doors, branded sanitary fittings, emulsion paint |
| Premium / luxury turnkey | 10,000 – 15,000 | Imported porcelain or marble, solid wood, VRF air conditioning, smart-home systems, designer lighting |
🏗️ Basement Construction
Basements add space for a home cinema, gym, guest suite or parking. We design retaining walls, waterproofing (membrane and crystalline systems), sump pumps and ventilation so the basement stays dry for decades. See basement waterproofing.
🌿 Roof & Terrace Design
Roof and terrace design turns unused roof space into living space: pergolas, roof gardens, BBQ areas, solar panels and water tanks, with heat insulation and waterproofing underneath. See roofing solutions.
📱 Smart Home Design
Smart home design plans automation into the wiring from day one: app-controlled lighting and AC, CCTV, video door phones, smart locks, solar and inverter integration, and Wi-Fi coverage on every floor. See smart home designs in DHA.
House Interior Design
ACCO's house interior design team creates interiors that look good and are easy to live with, coordinated with the architecture so lighting, AC and woodwork fit perfectly.
🛏️ Luxury Bedroom Interior
A luxury bedroom interior combines an upholstered bed wall, built-in wardrobes or a walk-in closet, layered lighting, blackout curtains, a dressing area and an attached bathroom. We use acoustic and thermal insulation for quiet, cool rooms. See bedroom design.
🛋️ Living Room Interior Design
Living room interior design sets the tone for the house. We plan seating for family and guests, TV and media walls, false ceilings with cove lighting, feature walls and large windows to the lawn. See living room design.
🍳 Modern Kitchen Design
Modern kitchen design in Pakistani homes needs strong exhaust, heat-resistant counters and plenty of storage. ACCO designs:
- L-shaped, U-shaped, parallel and island kitchens
- Quartz or granite counters and moisture-resistant cabinets
- Built-in hob, oven, hood and refrigerator spaces
- A separate "dirty kitchen" for heavy cooking where space allows
