The Top 10 Architectural Companies in Lahore, Explained

- Founded1998
- OfficeGulberg-III, Lahore
- ModelDesign + build
ACCO is a Lahore-based architecture, engineering and construction company. Its architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers and site teams work together, so a client gets one contract and one team from first sketch to handover. That model removes the most common problem in Pakistani construction: drawings that cost more to build than the client expected.
Services: residential architecture and construction in DHA Lahore, Bahria Town and other premium societies; commercial plazas and offices; hospital and healthcare design and construction (including work on LDMC, MCH Islamkot, King Edward Medical University / Mayo Hospital and UOL Hospital Lahore); Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB); MEP systems; and turnkey projects.
Why it ranks #1: over 25 years of experience, specialist hospital capability, in-house engineering and the ability to build what it designs.

How We Selected These Companies
We looked at publicly verifiable information only, and we scored each company on five questions:
- Track record: are there completed, visitable buildings?
- Recognition: awards, professional standing or major public commissions.
- Range: residential, commercial and institutional capability.
- Local fit: design suited to Lahore's climate, by-laws and building culture.
- Delivery: can the company take the design through to a finished building?
ACCO publishes this page, and we have been open about placing ourselves first. We rank ACCO #1 on the delivery criterion: few architectural companies in Lahore also engineer and build their own designs.
Which Architectural Company Is Right for You?
- Building a house in DHA or Bahria Town: choose a firm that knows the society by-laws and can give you a realistic BOQ. ACCO designs and builds houses from 5 Marla to 2 Kanal.
- Developing a commercial plaza: look for leasing-led planning, fire safety and parking design. See our commercial plaza architecture in Lahore.
- Building a hospital or clinic: you need healthcare-specific design for infection control, medical gases and patient flow. See our hospital architecture services.
- A landmark cultural or public building: design-led practices such as Nayyar Ali Dada & Associates or NESPAK are well suited.
- A heritage-inspired home: look at the work of Kamil Khan Mumtaz and Pervaiz Vandal & Associates for inspiration.
